    Hi all, I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right spot, but this is something that I've been thinking of for a while, and thought I would share.

    Now I don't know if this is already a feature, and if it is, if someone could tell me how to use it then that would be fantastic, and sorry for wasting time, BUT...

    I was wondering if it would be possible to get a read on green BEFORE you reach the green - i.e. for any approach shot. I think this would help tremendously, especially on the lightning-fast green of Oakmont CC. What that would entail is exactly what it sounds like: seeing the break on the green before you are near the green, or on the "full" shot setting. I played my first full 18 on Oakmont CC (with the 'Tournament' green speeds) and I felt as though my approaches could have been a lot better if I had known the break of the green.

    Again, if this is already a feature, MY BAD. But thanks anyway. I enjoy playing WGT and hope to be a master someday!!

     

    Thanks!

    Shermanator, you can switch to a Chip, Pitch, Flop, or Putt shot to get a read on the green if you're out a good distance.

    Good luck.

    ...or Putt shot ...

    Lmao, just realized how dumb this sounded.
