  Buckeye8084:

  From the another post you said you would add it to the list. 

  I will keep bumping this until something is done.

  You must wait until a community manager has been installed as indicated in the last chat and then be sure to post it to the forum. Otherwise this may not have any impact to the ranks of the company.

  Feel free to bring this pic to WGT's attention then: http://img685.imageshack.us/img685/6206/puttinglinecovered.jpg

  What I do, once I know the distance and elevation,  is just drag the aim box further than the cup so that it is out of my way,  and use the putt line.

  After more than a week, not much support or this suggestion.  10s of thousands of active members seem to be able to deal with the OPs issue.

  IMO, I think it is fine the way it is and no change needed.  More needed or necessary modifications and fixes are all over the forum.

  THAT'S why I haven't noticed it before because I do exactly that ^^^...Andy

  which leads exactly to the following quote.   Bigger items to deal with in the game.

  Maybe it doesn't bother you guys but others have brought it up too so I don't think I'm a lone wolf. Designing a box to be in the way of your putt line is poor engineering. And it would take no time at all to code a toggle. Some who don't like it and the others who like lining up their putts with bus in the way can keep it.

  Some use the box as a reference point for inches, feet and yards...think about it some, it can become your friend:)

  Yes.  It is a convenient ruler for offsetting wind on approaches and break on putts.  10mph crosswind?  Move the aimer 1 box while zoomed on the green.  (Does not apply on Kiawah)

  hence the term toggle on/off

  I agree,  it does come in handy on setting wind.
