  At the end of day i''ll bet my left nut that over 50% and more towards 90% could see the old dots just fine.If you can get anywhere close to ding your eyesight can't be bad enough to not of seen the dots.There should of been a voting forum to see if we all wanted this implemented.But most of all for 10% that couldn't see them properly it should of been a feature in the menu to turn dots bigger,that would of covered all 100% and kept everyone happy,who would of moaned if it was kept same and added as a feature to turn bigger dots on right? no-one 

  Me for one don't like the new massive trail of nikes to follow,excuse the pun but it's OFF-PUTTING

  I'm certainly not the cleverest guy here but i damn we''ll know that would of kept everyone happy no arguments

  PRIESTESS:

  Disable friend list movement during the game and not just  when the swing is activated and you are going in right direction:) I know list movement doesn't affect some players but how many do reduce their friend list?? quite a lot id say!  again from my computer the friend list is stopped once you take back the swing but it feels like the list movement is trying to bust the door open and causes stutter or spikes!!too strong to hold back..

  It affects my Puter. 

  I have a pretty old computer and is just enough to run the game, which is running pretty good with the meter...  only the Multi Player games, I have problems with Processor running in overdrive. 

  When the friends list movement sounds come out... that is using more resources, which can cause meter spikes and a way of turning them off is good.  Just like we can now turn off the backround sounds.

  Edit....   I think the dots are too big now....  slightly smaller will be ok.

  you should have let people have there choice.  Why can't you do like the meters let people choose put it the way you put the meters and let people choose. I say small dot where good for me i cant read the big dots at all .

  Me too, wouldn't even have been aware it had changed if I hadn't seen this thread.  Some people aren't happy unless they have something to moan about ;).

  Right on man. I have noticed a thing.

  i beg to disagree with you about the size of the dots to people wearing glasses they are like golfballs. as soon as you start your put the speed of break dots do increase. i have never missed so many puts on the low side in the last 2 days than i have in 2 years. one other point the ding point has increased also in width which throws your ball off on a put of about 2 inches if u catch the front or back end of the ding. not happy with this update at all

  Not a fan of the big dots, especially when they are big blurry things at a distance. Damn things are just annoying to me.
  judging breaks for long putts & chips/ pitch & run are more of a lottery for me now.
  
  Over last 3 or 4 weeks I now have annoying greens, no replays without restarting and far more game changing deviations/ less forgiveness than when the new irons came out.
  
  Not so much fun any more for me.

  When i start my putt the grid still and has always went away so how would this effect anything.

  The ding point has increased in width??

  What version of the game do you have?? lol

  I hate the big dots.  They look cheap.  Other than that I really find they effect nothing.

  I however did putt like complete crap on a full 18 at Merion just now.  But, that is the norm for me.  lol

  It doesn't when you have the grid option turned on.

   

  @Junedon-in the Game Settings on the first page there is an option to turn the putting grid off. It will still be there but will go off when you start your swing. Many have found that this helps the meter.
