Lots of good advice here. I tend to try and get approach shot close as I can.
I have a course ready that I designed with this in mind, but will not publish until the server corruption issue is fixed. I don't want to have the server change things on me.

  You got me thinking, wonder if the server course corruption issue is in any way related to the 90% swing issue we see so much of now on the ps4. Seems like the gameplay/performance on the ps4 gets worse almost daily recently.

   Still can't get into the no putting grid, as much as I want to. It simply takes too long and is too tedious......after all that its still a guess that I am wrong 50% of the time with the actual direction of the break, much less the severity. Don't understand how people do this on the ps4. It's a tedious guessing game at best. Sticking with it (for now) as the recent lag/stuttering/constant power loss swings  are taking its toll on me (and a lot of others) on the ps4. Good time to work on the putting. Playing par 3 courses only for now to practice.

This is my issue with it, it takes too long. i enjoy playing that way but man, it takes me long enough to read a green WITH the grid lines, you should see me without them lol. It could take me a good 5 to 10 minutes for one 10 ft putt. Multiply that by 18 holes and I'm spending an hour and a half eyeing up one putt on each hole.... and we know that turns into 2 or 3 putts more often than not

I understand the realistic nature of having to walk around the green to get an idea of the line and so forth, I'm not complaining at all. Maybe I should play this way on some Par 3, nine hole courses for a bit so it doesn't take so long to get through a round.

   Scratch my practice rounds. Official HB par 3 course corruption, power swing 90% issues, LOWEST winds were 23 mph on 4 rounds, spending more time reading greens (still wrong most of the time).......time for a drink......wait I don't drink.

I think playing no zoom to aim really hurts me. A lot of times the overhead thing does not give accurate info or not enough. So it like a tree is the right mark to aim for then bam I flying over the tree into water. I wont turn it back on but they need to fix it somehow.

Some of us have mentioned our desire to have GPS-like abilities embedded into the overheard view so that you get more information as you would have while actually playing golf IRL.  However, I think this option would only be suitable if turning off the zoom to aim feature.

And I like the ambiguity of trying to find something to serve as an aiming marker.  I think this is pretty realistic.

Yea but if the thing you "find" is wrong then what use it is. I was playing a course and there was a big tree with red leaves at 250 yds on the overhead view thing. it looked shorter by using the golfers view but I went with it. Hit the shot and right in the water I went. That is one of many times that has happened to me. IRL I would know that the tree was not the right marker. Also there are times when the course is cut off from the overhead view so I have no clue what is ahead of me after say 250 yards.

Yes I can use the hole flyby but I don't have time to watch that every hole. I have **** to do.

Speed golf with no aids would be an interesting match.

Those flyby's are always too damn slow.  Every game, too slow.  Who sets those speeds?

Seems likely.  Good answer.

I haven't really run into this very often.  I have had it happen but... You can't tell me that hasn't ever happened to you while playing IRL.

I honestly find if you get the speeds down a lot of times I can feel the putt and put it in the hole 70% of the time get your speeds down and it will make it much easier. Just my 2 cents

I have played with no aids from time to time but I find the no grid setting a bit too much for me. It is very time consuming and my eyes get fatigued after a while. I think I will wait until the technology advances so that the grid is no longer needed. I think the ability to toggle the grid on and off would be a good teaching aid for those learning how to read greens with no grid.
