  since there has been more changes to this game than we can keep up with, we have to sped 60% more time trying to ,keep up on current affairs than spending on the olay at hand. i still have not ever seen any explaination or tips on perfecting the art of moving the flag while putting for breaks. what are the most important things to look for.. u have the box shaped grids are they supposed to tell us something. are the shades of color supposed to tells us even more, meaning do we drag the flag out to the point where the color starts etc etc. this is another issue seperate from the putting but also relates to the changes. when i move the flag for my drv or my appro shots to compensate for the wind, and click mouse on center line the ball sometimes goes dead straight orto the right or to the left. i also noticed that if i click late or right of center line the ball will still go straight but at a much lesser distance, compared to if i click left or early the ball will move noticably to the left.. some one if u can please address this issue would help greatly improve the enjoyment of this game not to mention my score which i struggle to keep at even par.. i read from a fellow golfer that if this game wants us to make a putt we will, if it does not want us to make a putt we will not

  Hi Moltar.  Charlie is right, all kinds of good information in the Getting Started and the FAQs section to the right.  There are Video Tutorials on just about every subject. 

  We never move the flag stick but we can move the aiming point.  Dots on the grid show the break on the greens, how fast the dots move indicates the severity of the break.  Blue grids indicate uphill, Red grids downhill and Black grids are a flat surface.  As for hitting the line, it is important to notice the wind direction and aim accordingly.  For me, hitting on the side of the meter that the wind is coming from usually produces a better result than hitting on the opposite side.   Try it out in some practice games and you'll see what I mean.  Again, check out the info over there------------->

  One place that offers a beginning point may be at the Andy's CTTH hole #7, a 150 ft putt. Go to the reverse view and align the aim along the first available grid line that plumbs the line which is, I believe about 3 or 4 gridmarks to the right as you look in reverse. Hit the putt to go about 135 feet +/-. As a start point to reading how to use the grid I believe these comments will be of value.

  Can we submit this to the Guiness book of world records for the Longest run-on sentence ever?

  I've played a few rounds with Georgia Boy.. beat him on most... seemed friendly at first but took on that Southern redneck attitude after a while so he had to go! Not humble at all and no humility.

  Back then he thought the raptures where god's gift to Georgia..  Wonder why he isn't using them now.

  Yup. That last time you did beat me. You were talking a lot of trash too. I got tired of your verbal abuse. Yeah.. I did quit. He speaks the truth. Just doesn't speak it so eloquently. It was a huge turnoff for me. Although I didn't complain at the time. I just moved on, deleted him, and voila. Here I am. No worries.

  He's pretty good at this game though.. obviously. I'll give him that. I can't believe that the world record holder of the longest run-on sentence is better than me on WGT! lol

  I'll be in the corner crying if you need me.
