  I can't use reverse view on putts anymore. Anybody know why?

  Is it on all holes? Do you get the other camera views?  There's a setting in the game options to turn the cameras on if they're off.

  I saw it once on one course and the workaround was to use the little arrows and scroll through the views until you find the reverse one. It was only that once, for me.

  The space bar also toggles the view from front to reverse view.   There are times where you don't get the camera icon at all and the space bar still works but it gives you an aerial view lol.  Usually where water is right behind you,  thinking they simply just could not get a behind the avatar angle with no ground behind it.

  I have one of the thumb buttons on my mouse set up as the spacebar and all I have to do the hit that thumb button. I still click on the camera behind the green on some holes when lining up my shot as that view often is best when lining up shots.

  I've not thought of that one - Great Idea HP

  I have had a putt a few times on waters edge 18 Congo and could not get the regular view, only the reverse.

  Maybe the same will be true opposite

  Thank You

  Yep, that hole and Kia #17 comes to mind trying to think of holes that I've seen that on.

   

  Not that the view you get with space bar helps much but the option is there.  ;-)

  Hmm,   I've been looking to get a new mouse and finding one with thumb buttons seems like a good idea for the view change.  I'm still using the same mouse from my early WGT days, well, early enough after realizing in the beginning that a wireless mouse sucked lol.  

  Ironically, the mouse has not met any walls in my days here.  :)
