Hi everyone,

Here are the release notes for yesterday's update:

New:

Practice Putting Green - A virtual putting green has been added which allows players to practice on an easy, medium or hard green, along with other features such as...

ability to drop the ball anywhere on the green to practice different kinds of putts.
easily change the speed of the green and drop the ball in a new location with just a click of a button.
Ball durability will not be depleted for putts hit on putting green.
If unlocked, players can change greens easily

Nike Club Reduction - All Nike clubs (not balls) have been reduced by 5 levels for a limited time.

Consecutive Day Bonuses - An improved display has been added so players know how much XP they will be getting over the upcoming days if they continue their consecutive day playing streak. Also, larger rewards will be given to players that hit high consecutive days played.

Fixes and Improvements:

Putt Preview - An issue with the red guide line disappearing on putt preview after switching putters has been fixed.
Blitz Challenge - An issue has been fixed where the last player left in a Blitz Challenge game would not be awarded the win or the winning credits if one player times out or disconnects.

The putting green and putt preview are good ideas, especially for newer players.

The putt preview shows how your putt would work out, you set the aim and power then a ghost trail shows the outcome.

The problem is it works by assuming a dinged shot, so it is absolutely useless to off-ding putters.

Well, of course. How else could it be done?

If you're an accomplished off-ding putter, you don't need it anyway.

They let you set the power, so they could let you set the 'hit' point wherever you choose.

It was just an observation, I won't be using the practice greens or the putt preview, it's come too late to be of any use to me.

There is a issue with the spin set on the ball. When I set the amount of spin I want on the ball and go to the swing meter the dot moves as I move along the swing line. To fix I must click on the screen to make the dot stay where I put it. Is it me are is anyone else having this issue.

Con days is not fair for newer players or the ones who lost a day when wgt changed things and did not let us know.
