How To Get To Main Menu

  Whenever I launch WGT through Steam it starts the game in such a way that I am forced to select "Play Now" and it takes me directly into a hole with a new opponent.

  I want to access the main menu so I can get to the interface that allows me to switch to playing a course single player rather than playing individual holes with an online opponent.  For the life of me I cannot figure out how to access the main menu from the gameplay screen.

  What on Earth is going on?  What am I missing?  I have clicked on every possible UI element that could bring me back to the main menu...or at least I think I have :(

  Thanks.  BTW, this is on a Windows 10 PC.

  You may find that your first 3 games will have to be against another player, but just plough through those and then you will be free to play on your own.

  Thanks for the advice.  By "game'" do you mean a full 18 holes?  

  Thanks again.

  To be honest, I don't know. I started this game a long time ago and things are quite different now for beginners.

  I don't think it would be a full 18 holes, that would be quite a task for a raw beginner. It could be 1, 3 or 9 holes, I really have no idea.

  Best to just play them, don't worry about the result, soon as they're completed I assume you'll be free to play the type of game you want.

  Are you saying that you can not click on GAME MODES to the left of play now? That should open all game types for you.

  Not sure if bseab is going to come back to read these posts, but I have just been rummaging around on steam, watching a few videos that WGT beginners have posted, and it appears to me, that these three games that newbies are forced into playing, are one hole head to head games against some kind of incompetent robot, whose putting is so bad that you will win all three games.

  I may be wrong but that's the impression I got.  8 )

  Paul, I'm probably misinterpreting what you mean, but you won't, have anything like that, as you're not new to the game.

  My intuition tells me that the outcome of these first few games are predetermined (you win) to encourage new players to continue playing the game.
