Avatars blocking putt boxes

  Since the update, I have noticed a significant increase in the amount of times where the camera angle puts my avatar in the way of the information I need to make my putt.  For ding putters, this probably isn't a problem since they move their paths anyway.  However, as a miss-dinger, this really screws with me in the fact that I have to move my path to one side or the other to see the elevation difference (I can still use the distance in the top right), and then attempt to put the path as close as I can to the hole.

  Any chance you can work on this?  Thanks.

  Another user's workaround:

  Use the space tab to see the marker in front of the avatar ;)

  Hadn't thought of that.  I've just been clicking the reverse angle.  It shows the box without me moving it.  Then I just go back to normal view and putt.

  I got around it, but it's still obnoxious having to do that.  I hope they fix this soon.

  No hopes, no assumptions to keep the head clear here ;)

  There's a new transparent avatar setting in the game options Michael, perhaps that will help.

  Great news indeed.  Thank you.

  I must be missing something. With the new transparent setting to either 'on' or 'off' the avatar remains solid and blocks the view of a lot of putts. Moving the marker used to gray out the avatar a bit if it was blocking but now nothing. Any advice?

  The sages on here always recommend that you clear you flash cache after an update so I would try that for starters.
