Great to see everyone joining in here, and full credit to WGTdbloshoe for the idea.
Just a couple of points that have been mentioned. First Swingmate - I have seen this in the forums before and it appears to be a calculator, nothing else. Whilst I have not tried this, I did try the other well known calculator mentioned many times in the forums. My conclusion was whilst it was OK it is not as accurate as doing your own sums. For this reason I think you will not go wrong looking at Lizard69 post - I too use this method and is generally very good.
A good point from Forgettaboutit - it is much easier to hit an accurate shot using near full power, this is where players often forget the punch option.
Alosso tip using top spin from heavy lies is a must, just don't get too greedy and ensure you can get back on the fairway.
Last point is something I did not mention in the forst post and is essential you do for EVERY SHOT. Develop a routine and follow this every time for every shot. How many of us have putted from the fringe having been 8 feet away and had the scale set at 100 feet (or hit the scroll wheel on the mouse and hit a drive 60 yards)and bam you end off the green or need binoculars just to see the hole? Routine will prevent these needless errors.
Keep the tips coming, and I agree if we are positive and stay on topic we can all learn, regardless of tier.
