Wonder why they call it three-click
Because I use only two clicks
First click to increase power
Second to release the power

Even when I get 100-110 % power, the ball fly 90-120 yds. Using Wood 5 Hybrid. When starting from tee.

I can't get these two lines to be at 12 and 6 o'clock, mine is at 9 and 3 o'clock when the player hit the ball.

Click (hold, release)
Click
Click

that is three clicks. If you are clicking at 9 and 3 then that is the problem. It has to be 12 and 6 like shown in that video

No I click and hold to power up to 100 % or thereabout then I release left button and nothing happens until I click a second time then these two black lines start to move and they and on 9 and 3.

You are doing it right it seems until the 'nothing happens' part. You need to click soon after releasing at the accuracy zone at the top, and then at the bottom. It's a cadence just like you might count one, two, three. Release, click, click. Just like that. I think what is happening is you are missing the zones by so much it just results in a mis hit and that's why it isn't going far. Maybe.

Hey Now I got the hang of it.

It was after reading you latest comment who made me think...could it be...opened the game and toke some practice shots and I was thinking correctly.

First click to increase power
Second click to "stop" the first line at the top or nearby
Third click to "stop" the second line at bottom or nearby.

And of course pick the correct club.

Edit
Are on the 14th hole and I have 71+
I have mega huge problems with putting-I tried to find a training section
where I could train putting-No luck so far.

I had a golfing buddy once who would always say that he had paid his greens fees and dammit he was going to get his money's worth! Low scores cost more he said. So your +71 is just good bang for the buck

Sounds like you're getting it together. Better with woods and irons now, yes? That leaves the putting. It takes time, and practice to get good at it. In your offline play you can use the Putt Preview feature to practice. We do not allow this in the society, but offline you can use it to show the line. Set it to unlimited putt preview in the settings.

When you reach the green, read it and set your marker where you think you need to. Then hit putt preview and see how far off (or on) you were.

I'm improving 2nd round 36+ Had 3 pars and one where I used 4 shots on a par 5 course(could suddenly not remember what this called)

I found the Putting training there is 3 different type of training.
Range
Chip
Put

See if I have time to play my third round tonight or not.

Threadfin · 03-01-24, 02:45 PM

That would be a birdie. Nicely done.

You've already halved your score. At this rate you'll be shooting 66 in a few days. keep it up.

mapuc · 03-01-24, 03:17 PM

Third round=18+

It is also important not to create to much power when putting.

Markus

Threadfin · 03-02-24, 08:27 AM

I find the default distance the putting meter has is nearly perfect in most cases, with uphill/downhill another factor to take in to account. If it is severely downhill you don't want to hit full for example. On level ground the default is nearly perfect for power when putting.

Over time you'll develop a feel for this. Sometimes you want to stroke the putt firmly in order to take some of the break out of it, ram it in the hole so to speak. Other times you want more finesse, and lag it up there, let it die near the hole. I despise three-putts so it's important to make a good first putt. I'm not always thinking of making it, especially on long and twisty lines. I just want to get it close. I often play too much break intentionally, which has the result of allowing the ball to die near the cup. Putts missed on the low side tend to run farther from the hole, all things being equal.

Golf is four distinct phases. Tee, approach, short and putting. To score well you have to get all of these things in a good place. Make the putts you should, and avoid disaster at all times by playing smart.

mapuc · 03-02-24, 10:26 AM

Ahh did so well yesterday at the Q-school had only one bogey the rest was either par or birdies ended on a 8th place.

So today with a lot of trustworthiness I entered the fourth and last round. Feeling that I would be better than 18+

Haha and LOL It went down the drain - 40-something +

Threadfin · 03-02-24, 12:45 PM

Maybe because of different difficulty settings? No worries mate, you're doing fine. Not the sort of game you master in a week.

I can tell you that I'm not competing against you and the other guy I am competing against myself.

Markus

Threadfin · 03-02-24, 04:02 PM

Yeah, that's the idea. Just keep trying to shoot a lower score than last time. Our scores don't matter really, and anyway, we've had a lot of practice. It's all for fun, and to play a golf game with others, in an indirect way. It's a nice balance between solo and MP, the way it works.

mapuc · 03-02-24, 04:23 PM

Indeed it is It's fun to play both solo and in MP.

Sad there's this time difference or we could play a real mp where we play together as in real life.

Edit
We could play a course on a Saturday 11 pm UK time. This would mean midnight here and 6 pm New York.
