cadwallater: I cannot find a way to adjust things, such as the player, whose presence on the green while putting obscures the line to the hole, and the new swing meter that I still haven't mastered.
If it's you putting, you can click the camera icon (or hit spacebar) to toggle back and forth between forward view and reverse view.
If it's your opponent putting, you're stuck with the one view that they give you (behind your opponent).
cadwallater: Most troublesome is the absence of a view down the fairway, except for the one from the tee, and the overhead view of the fairway, neither of which is adequate in order to line up a shot, with the result that I'm way off line regardless of how carefully I try to aim it.
Again, you can click on the camera icon (or hit spacebar) or click on the mini-map to see a different view. You should then see several numbers on the screen next to the camera icon and on the mini-map. Those numbers tell you what cameras are available. Click the number you want, or hit the number key on your keyboard that matches the camera number you want to see. Hopefully that will help you line up your shot.
