I have a iPhone 5s.
While the games physics seem decent most of the time, I have found the very close to the green approach shots to be almost impossible. It doesn't matter if I'm in the rough or on the fairway, if I'm within 5 to 10 yards of the green the shot does not play normally. Essentially I have no control regarding the shot distance. I have to hit the ball very hard, well over what the yardage and lie are telling me and still, I have no idea what it's going to do.
This is the only shot that is really screwed up. All other shots work within an acceptable range. In fact. I am better off in the bunker or 40 or 50 yards from the hole. This is extremely frustrating, especially when I over shoot a bit and roll off the green and just into the rough ... the next shoot is close to impossible. If I stop on the fringe, everything is fine.
It is always possible, that I need to be doing something special on those very close approach shots ... if so ... what is it?
Otherwise this is a very frustrating bug ... don't try and tell me it's a feature ... that really needs fixing.
By the way, I know what I'm talking about, I produced the two best computer golf games in the world: Jack Nicklaus 4 and 5.
