     I quit playing WGT because the directions / tutorials were too abridged. I can't figure out what causes shots / putts to go short or zero especially chips and pitches. ALSO, Why  do drives only go 210-225 yds. when hit right on the button, perfect ?,....when I know I can throw a ball that far, and I know I can hit a 3 wood 240 ?    The dot on the golf ball position doesn't decrease or increase roll either.  ALSO II, do different situations and meter yardage change ? especially on putts?  Some time it says a putt max is 60 ft and sometimes 150 ft.

  ALL in all, your games are frustrating and aggravating, and a crap shoot of when you click the speed meter, and shots hit right on the perfect line are not always good shots. Chips and pitches are a mystery.  

    A few more tips / instructions would help.

  What is the wind direction and speed? , what is the lie the ball lands on, is it uphill , downhill? ..... this may be called a game but is in fact more a simulation of real golf , all aspects of the game have to be considered.

  If you click on the max putt 60 ft(yardage) , you can change it to whatever scale your putter allows, this can also be done with all shots and all clubs, please don't be discouraged by the shortfalls at the beginning, learn the game(simulation) and I'm sure you'll come to love it as many others have.

  Wow! You can throw a ball 210- 225 yards?

  One year, and you haven't learned a thing?

  - the free clubs have only limited capacities, not only distance-wise,

  - the shot proposals ("caddie") should be subject of personal surveillance without exemption,

  - the putter has multiple scales (+ refer to the above)

  Have fun, and learn it!!
