Show Views... Button
If you read about Golf Mode and Walk Mode, you know that the Game Window can be seen through two different perspectives -- through the eyes of the golfer or from a camera placed behind the golfer. These are the only two views available within the Game Window.
Five more views can be seen if you like, but you must open new windows to see them. To open new view windows, click and hold on the Show Views... button, then click on the view you wish to see. A new window (with a new view) will appear on your screen. Whatever activity is occurring in the Game Window will also be visible in the new view. It's like having an entire camera crew out on the golf course!
As you click in a view window to make it active, the Movement Control will appear (except in Ball, Profile and Top Views). Also, you can move a window by clicking on the view name and dragging. Rearrange the view windows in any configuration you wish. We recommended you keep them on the dark green background window, so as not to obstruct the Game Window.
Top View
The Top View looks down on the hole you're playing. (It's the view with attitude.)
Click (and release) on the Options box (the "O") for a list of Top View options:
Drag Terrain changes the cursor into a hand which you can use to move the view around.
Walk activates the Walk Mode. When in Walk Mode, you can move the little camera in the Top View window to see different locations around the course. Click and drag on it to move it. Click away from it to turn it in that direction.
Show Center Lines will show the center line from tee to green for each hole.
Jump to Player will center the Top View on the player.
Jump to Hole will center the Top View on the current hole.
Ball View
The Ball View comes alive as soon as you hit the ball. Then the camera follows the ball as it flies through the air and lands in the target zone (or in the trees).
Landing View
Golfers are accustomed to watching the ball fly away from them when they hit it. The Landing View takes a position where the ball will land and shows the ball coming toward it.
Pin View
The Pin View is very much like the Landing View except that its perspective is always from the flagstick.
Profile View
Use the Profile View to see a cross-section of the hole and your shot. You'll even see elevation numbers, telling you the difference in elevations.
