From the Main Menu screen select "Play Golf" and proceed through the
Sign-In screens. You may play with up to 4 players. Before each player's turn his/her name will be flashed on the screen and displayed in the top left hand corner. Each player may customize his/her putting options via the Pull-down menus (which appear automatically).
EASY PUTT
Let the computer do the work. First line up the putter icon in the direction you want to putt the ball. A thin white direction indicator will show your aim (this feature can be toggled on and off in the Options Menu). Click and hold the left mouse button to start the backswing. Release the mouse button to discontinue the backswing and stroke the ball. The longer you hold the left mouse button, the harder the putt and the farther the ball will go. All putts are straight and only the terrain of the hole and any obstacles affect the direction of the putt. To cancel simply hold the left mouse button down until the putter returns to its base position.
TRUE PUTT
First line up the putter icon in the direction you want to putt the ball. Then click the left mouse button anywhere in the central window. Drag the mouse in the direction you want to move the putter to begin the backswing. Then move the mouse toward the ball to create the shot. The farther you move the putter back, the longer the backswing. However, the speed of the stroke, not the length of the backswing, determines the speed of the shot. The faster you move the putter toward the ball, the stronger and farther the shot. You will need to experiment a few times before you learn this putting method.
With True Putt, any lateral movement of the mouse as you move the putter toward the ball does not affect the direction in which the ball travels. Assuming no obstacles or slope (not likely), only the direction in which the putter strokes the ball determines the ball direction.
