on/off buttons on the play screen

  For shot pal and putter pal.  These are great aids to the game.   But they are not needed on most drives and short putts.  Give us a better option to turn them off, outside of going to the menu, then options, then scroll, then click the buttons. 

  Put a button on the scale of each or a convenient location on the play screen.

  Having them on certainly helps you sell more, but slows the game.  And encourages me, and others, to look elsewhere for this aid.

  Interesting idea, probably won't happen.  Cluttering the screen with multiple on and off buttons doesn't sound good.  With the limited camera angles this could also end up posing a problem on the greens especially if they end up blocking a view.

  You're right, don't want to clutter the screen.  Could remove the XP meter as it has no purpose during play.  A location that would work is above the WGT flag and notebook.

  An alternative to placing on/off buttons is for a default of:

  Putting-have it automatically turn off for putts of 1.5 ft or less.

  Shot Pal-Default to off for drives with exception of par threes.

  Players could go to menu to change default settings if desired.  Could set length of putt to have auto turn off.
