In Game Display
The in-game display shows the following information:
The Swing-O-Meter
The Swing-O-Meter determines how much power and accuracy you have on your shot when driving, swinging, and putting.
How To Swing
Press the A Button to set the power for the back swing.
When the meter is closest to the 100% mark, press the A Button to begin the downswing.
Press the A Button once again when the meter is closest to the 'Hit zone' for a straight shot. Press to the left of the 'Hit zone' for a 'hook' shot and right of the 'Hit zone' for a 'Sliced' shot.
The further away from the center of the 'Hit zone' that you choose, the further left or right your ball will hook or slice.
Key Zones:
On The Course
Out-Of-Bounds/Water Hazards
Every now and then a wild shot lands in a water hazard or out of bounds.
When the ball lands out-of-bounds, you must re-hit your shot from its original spot.
Add one stroke for the misplayed shot and one stroke for the penalty.
For example, if your first tee shot lands out-of-bounds, your next shot from the tee is counted as your third.
