  Whats going on with the counter by the putter instrucktions ????

  Some times the give a note with 150 ore 60 Power, and its too much to realise.

  Otherways you are changing down too 30 ore 60 and its too soft.

  Ore give a lot of speed. This is not a nice joke, because you cant know what the game is doing.

  hi

  putter is done automatically but it's up to you how hard to hit each scale by estimating the distance based on green speed, wind, slope, elevation, etc

  Yes i know. But you did not understand my question.

  For example: the counter is at 150 as a reference. But the distance to the hole is 45 yards. If you then also goes down 60 yards or change, it is very difficult to coordinate the putt.

  hi

  45 yards is 135ft. are you talking about very long putts like on #5 sta or something? i am not sure....

  Just found out by accident today that you can change the putting meter with the scroll wheel of the mouse. Maybe this is common knowledge maybe not... But I sure dont like the 100 or the 150 putting meter when Im 2 yrds away on the fringe either.

  Icon I think he is confusing yards for feet. The only time the game gives your distance in yards on the putter scale is when you are either in the rough or fairway not the fringe or the green.
