  You won't get an icon on your desktop until you have run the WGTLauncher.msi file in your Downloads folder. Tell him to look there and double click the aforementioned file. ; )

   Downloading is different from Installing. Thats why you have to go to the download folder and look for the  WGTLauncher.msi File to Install it

  Since I now figured out we have a grid from full shot view (nice improvement, but also necessary since we can't zoom in), has anyone figured out the precise parameters of the squares.

  I'm thinking 3x3 yards, but not sure I am right.

  Also, I still have no clue how to change my status from red to green if I want (or don't want) to be invited to AS or match play games.  (Not to mention getting invites knowing I am in red, since I went to Flash to do it.  That option done in 2 weeks.)  We need guidance on some of this stuff and WGT has to provide it.

  Tom.

  Tom, the size of the grids vary according to the distance from the pin. Young46 has a good way of calculating the size of the grid here https://youtu.be/udez47XHG_c. It works well. ~ Tony

  My one and only update fix is below. If you are annoyed with this, please let WGT know.

  TopTracer Window: Please position over to the far right side & below the course notebook.

  The current location intrudes into the screen from the right. I find myself have to reposition it before each shot. 

  Thanks for the consideration!

  I tried several sizes and what worked best for me was 8 feet x 8 feet. I started at 5 feet x 5 feet and worked my way up. I stopped at 8 feet x 8 feet. I might try 9 feet x 9 feet, But at times with the reverse view the grid is the same size as the flash pitch/chip grid.

  I am about close to Tom's idea that the grids should be around 3 x 3 yds. However, this is only a point of reference cause you have to aim way wider (after your calculations) when you are using full back spin shot, less at half back spin and more less when you play flat or top spin. Furthermore, you need to consider on the aiming points (apart the back spin used) the club you are using. For instance a PW has a higher trajectory and apex point than 8 iron. A lot of stuff to consider when you are aiming...and don't forget that the shot off the fw is different from the one off the tee.
