Hi dc,
It is a good game and tends to get you totally hooked.
Take your time and mess around a bit to find your shots. Have a go at the ctth's,(closest to the hole) They are free and great frustrating fun.LOL:~)) No, honestly they will help no end with your approach game as all shots are from lies directly,(and sometime's indirectly) in line with the pin. Go to the game page and go to tournaments down the bottom and you will see them. They are also on the side bar on the game page. Also, if you only want to play one hole on any course you can go to the top bar, wgt community, courses, and choose any hole on any course and you will have a maximum of 10 shots to mess around with to practice certain shots. Good for putting practice. Just approach the hole and then knock it away and try again. As soon as you hole out you have to leave and start again. also good for chipping, pitching , punching,and flopping practice.
Have fun and hope to meet some time on the green stuff.
One other thing. Try and get yourself in a country club. There are a few out there that welcome newbies. Check one called The academy,(I think).
You will get some good games there.
Best of luck.
