Putting

  I have been playing this game for six days and enjoy it very much. I think I mastered the teeing off and the fairway shocks but I must say that the putting style you use in this game stinks. I cannot get a hang of it and it is driving me mad. Is there anywhere that I can practice the putting or is there any change coming to eat soon. As I am in the forum in real life even if U have crappy clubs you can still get quite a lot of backspin in this game you have to get A lot of credit  to get decent clubs to get back to Spain. I for one think this is very on the fair. I know people Will either have a go at me for these posts or no one will reply to my posts. Please do not tell me it gets easier with the putting the longer you play as I have played other golf games and being good at the putting.

  All the best

  John

  If you could master the game in a week, you'd be bored with it in two. Time and patience will reward you here.

  Yes. Basically any green you want but BPB #2 is a good one to use. Set up a practice round there and with the mulligan option you can putt to your heart's content.

  If you're not aware of it, every time you move up a tier the green speed changes and gets faster. It looks like you just got moved up to the Pro tier.

  Beth 9 and St Andrews 9 are also good. You can go straight to them, you don't have to play the other eight.

  You will only be able to select the green speed, wind, and/or one of the limited hole locations by playing a Practice round.

  To go straight to a hole on a course, across the top of the screen hover your cursor over WGT Community and click on Golf Courses. Pick the course you want and then pick the hole.

  Ya, then you're forced to putt on one green speed-standard and not changeable. Not the best place to practice putting.

  It's not getting the hang of the party that would drive me away using not getting the hang of the party will drive me away from playing this game.
