! Hey, I've taken the time to show up here and comment, and was hoping there was a solution to this fast click issue when putting and chipping. I have no problem hitting it in the centre of the fairway on the full swing, and I'm usually on or around the greens on my approaches, but to be faced with an average of 4 putts or several chips and several putts per green because the swing meter works exactly the same for chips and putts as it does for the full swing can't be correct. It's the equivant of always having to hit your driver 40 yds. Surely even the best of the PGA2000 group would not find that easy (that's a very fast click, click, click). I originally noted this problem in an earlier, sort of general list of issues, which could have been my mistake as sometimes things get lost in lists.
I'm not knocking the courses or the designers; so far I'm really impressed with what I have seen, but it's no fun if you can't play them. I'm finding the PGA2000 short game incredibly difficult. As a further example I was playing Muirfield today and was impressed with the course, but on #7 I had to hit a shot from the rough over a bunker to a short pin from 30 yds. If this was a Links shot I would deletete the chipping club selected and deferred to a standard a lob wedge (80 yds) and then hit it 45% (that's a touch too long on basic distance but I have to allow for the rough) so the end result (if I hit my selected clicks) should be close. In PGA2000 there did not seem to be any solution to the shots I was faced with during my many efforts to try to get the ball on the green in the noted situation. Since I couldn't find out how to deselect the chip and choose a full club, I decided initially that (chipping) a flopped full sandwedge would suffice and although I hit it perfect it only went 10 ft. After that I just kept experimenting, hoping I might come up with a solution, but no luck. I never did get the ball on the green and after 14 tries I just gave up. Again as I have previously mentioned this struggle is improving my other game, but I would prefer it wasn't!
Cheers, Dave
