Easy swing (default)
Hold Space, the mouse button or SWING — the power bar fills. Let go at the dashed line to hit the pin distance. Swinging past ~92% adds a little risk. Prefer a challenge? Switch to the classic 3‑click swing in Settings.
Golf cart
Your cart drives you to each shot (Space skips). Want to drive it yourself? Pick "I drive" in Settings: W/↑ gas, S/↓ brake & reverse, AD steer. Follow the golden beacon. Press E to hop out — carts stay off greens, bunkers and water.
Aim & clubs
←→ aim (hold Shift for fine aim), ↑↓ change club. The dotted arc and ring show a full‑power shot with no wind. The dashed tick on the meter shows the power to reach the pin. V toggles the target view.
Lies & hazards
Rough and bunkers cost distance — use the Sand Wedge to splash out of sand. Water is a one‑stroke penalty with a drop; out of bounds is stroke and distance. Trees will knock your ball down.
Putting
The hole glows white so it's easy to find. Arrows flow downhill — red means steep. Press V for an overhead green view. The meter's tick is the power for a flat putt; add some for uphill, take some off for downhill.
Elevation
Uphill and downhill shots show a "plays like" distance.
Driving range
Hit any club as often as you like, or press Auto Swing (T) to let your golfer hit on his own. Targets sit every 50 yards and the panel shows carry, total, ball speed, launch, apex and side. Esc pauses.
