Selecting a Club The club name displayed over the golf bag in the lower right corner is the club currently in use. To change clubs just move your mouse over the golf bag. The bag will expand and you can put the mouse over any club in the bag to see its maximum distance. Click the left mouse button over any club to select it.

Hitting the Ball Changing Aim / Minimap The item in the top right corner of the screen is a miniature map, or minimap, of the course. This allows you to quickly see the layout of the course, as well as where you are currently aiming your shot. The yellow flag represents the hole, and the red and white pole is where your shot is currently aimed. To move the pole, left click anywhere on the minimap or on the actual course itself in the main window. Keep in mind that the pole only represents direction and not power, as power is controlled by the shot ring itself.

The Shot Ring Left click the ball labeled "Shot" to start the Shot Ring in action. Left click the ball again to set the power of the shot, the closer to the mark at the bottom of the ring (6:00 o'clock), the more powerful the shot will be. After the second click the cursor will move in the opposite direction back towards the top of the ring. To set the accuracy of the shot, left click as close as you can to the mark at the top (12:00 o'clock).

Advanced Options:

Adjusting Loft - By default, any shot will be hit with average loft, but you can either add or remove loft from the ball by left clicking the Up and Down Arrows that are above and below the Shot Ball.

Adding Hook or Slice - By default, the ball is struck without any hook or slice. If you would like to add either one to the ball, just left click the Left or Right Arrows to either side of the Shot Ball.

Back Spin - If you want to add backspin to any shot, just left click the Circular Arrow to the bottom right of the Shot Ring.

Powershot - To add a boost of hitting power to your shot, left click the Green Bottle to the bottom left of the Shot Ring. This is especially useful for long drives, but should be used sparingly as the number you can use is limited.

Camera Controls - To the right of the Shot Ring, you can see the image of a camera surrounded by arrows. If at anytime you would like a better view of the terrain before you take a shot just use the arrows to move the camera around. When you're done left click on the camera in the middle, and you will be brought back to your normal camera view. It's important to note that changing your view does not change where you aim your shot.

Wind Indicator - The item in the lower left corner of the screen is the wind indicator. The wind can change between each shot, so be sure to keep an eye on it. The wind is currently blowing in the direction that the arrow is pointed, and the strength of the wind is measured in green boxes under the arrow, the more green boxes that show, the stronger the wind is blowing. If you would like to know the exact speed of the wind, move your mouse cursor over the Wind Indicator and the speed will be displayed below in MPH.

Slope Grid Toggle - Just to the right of the wind indicator you can see the slope grid toggle icon. Left clicking on this item will turn the slope grid on and off. This item can be of great use whenever you are putting on a green to tell where the ball will run. Green indicates an increase in slope, red is a decreasing slope, and white means that the area is fairly flat.
