Camera Angles - Kiawah

  What's the deal with the camera angles on this course?  It seems like half of my putts are at a 45% angle to me and the hole.  I can't judge crap if I'm looking at the line perpendicular to where I'm standing.

  You've noticed, then, that this happens pretty much only at Kiawah. Simple reason for that is that Kiawah was the first course made available for stroke play. Call it a lesson learned...at Kiawah, they only took a couple hundred pictures around the greens. Since then,  they have taken about double that number, which is why you don't see the odd angles much anywhere else. 200 or so pics just didn't cover the entire 360-degrees around the hole.

   It's been like that since the beginning, and I would imagine will always be something we have to deal with. I just don't see WGT going out & re-taking all those pics again.

   I have to assume you mean the blimp view when you reverse the view for putts. I've seen that on every course... has to be some kind glitch. Easy enough fix, though .... just switch from Putt to Chip, then hit the reverse view & switch back to the putter.
