  Newbie to this cool game - just a week playing (as a virus "shelter-in-place" antidote) --- and I'm lovin' it.  Not ready to join a club yet, and am just now understanding that if you want to hit the drives further, you need to buy a better driver.  That will come soon to my game.

  WHAT I REALLY WANTED TO ASK/TALK ABOUT  . . .  is the putting interface !  It seems that unlike the "green zone" tool for hitting shot, when putting DOWNHILL (red grid all around), if you move into that zone, you end up putting off the green.

  HOW CAN YOU FIGURE OUT HOW HARD TO HIT THE BALL when putting downhill

  Any tips will be greatly appreciated !

  imo, when you decide to upgrade your clubs, i suggest that you begin with getting the best putter you can first, then get the best wedges, then the irons, then the 3wood/driver.  you will improve your average and game quicker this way.  most strokes are won/lost from wedge distance and closer.

  young46 has quite a few good putting vids.

  Great Advice. I spent 100's of hours searching when someone pointed it out to me.
