JDHaring: However, it still stays low and covers the hole in reverse mode....bummer. Also, a feature I thought was very cool i the older version of the game, was being able to click and hold on the avatar to make the putting grid disappear temporarily so we could see the whole putting surface without all the movement of the grid
Hitting the "V" key, if you are playing PC version, will remove the aim marker (click it again and aim marker comes back).
While on the green, if you change your club to anything other than the putter, the grid will disappear until you go back to your putter.
Certainly not fixes but workarounds.
