It does seem to be a little off.
Although I have played a few 'Beat the Meter' games with some people (no it is not something in the options menu)
The rules are this.
You have 10 secs to shoot.
You cannot change what the caddie gives you.
This means aim point (you must hit early or late to change direction)
You cannot change club
You cannot change spin
You cannot change shot type (if it gives you chip, that's what you hit)
I witnessed Kosei82 shoot a -6 at Kiawah back nine doing this.
You start asking yourself.......how bad is the caddie really?
Happy hitting
