BIRDSDROPPING: The grafics and courses are awesome but the putting will take way too much time to get proficient.
+1 concerning the views!
40 putts means that you are just a tad off 2 putts per hole - not too bad after three days!
Read the putting tips =>
Observe the variant green speeds (top right), and first get the length right, then the slope.
On "easier" greens like St.Andrews, Bethpage or Kiawah you will soon get it right.
Hint: In CCs of level 2 or above, the "Putter Pal" is included, and loads of help available from friendly members.
Warning: This game is NOT easy, and it has addictive potential.
Have fun!!
