I'd like to incorporate relevant information from those tutorials bortimus if that's OK? I'll quote you like they would quote a Hogan or a Nicklaus.

Good points Parkle.
To be honest I never checked the dpi when I bought this $15 mouse not so long ago. Here are the settings in the control panel for pointer speed...
Maybe someone has other opinions on this issue and could help out.
I have the Swing Meter Short Game Sensitivity set to 2.0. In fact I have never fiddled around with that setting mainly because it didn't occur to me. I'll do some further tests and add my conclusions when I get to the short game.
There are other considerations that will be explained in the Tempo post.
Thanks Ted. OK so you have the mouse speed on halfway in the Windows settings. I'm not sure exactly what that equates to in dpi terms but I have a feeling it is 800 ? I'm sure someone can confirm or correct that. Also you have "enhance pointer precision" ticked which I think means acceleration is enabled. I think many would have that turned off but I haven't done any tests as to the difference in this game of having it on or off. For me SMS at 1.5 and dpi at 800 would be too quick to control but you use a fingertip control method so I guess that works for you. Currently I have SMS at 3.5 and dpi at 600 ! But not fingertip control.

you need to experiment with these settings, for me turning offf the enhanced pointer did loads of good, also for
other mousesteered games yay

Yes the "enhanced pointer precision" is acceleration. Uncheck the box and see how your pointer slows down. Also remember that the Windows settings are still running even if you use any software that came with your mouse and can effect how they work.
I have been using a Logitech Trackman Marble Mouse Trackball for RTM swings in golf games since Sierra's PGA99. For me once you get the settings right controlling the swing with a simple forward and back roll of the trackball with my index finger really gives you the "feel" aspect of a swing.

Really Sam! That might work for those laid up in bed etc with some malady. Since I'm at that "critical" age will check trackball prices (also working on laptop prices lol - heck with the mortgage bill, if I had one)
$23 on Amazon https://www.amazon.c... trackball .
This model is nice because you can use it right or left handed as the buttons can be reversed using the software. I use it because I like the control and feel just moving a finger rather than trying to move arm/wrist a longer distance. As the trackball base stays put just moving a finger to me gives me better, consistent movement. There is a wireless model, the M570, but it's a thumb controlled ball and is right hand only.

I am 62, have mild arthritis in both hands, broke right wrist 9 yrs ago as well. If I hadn't been using the trackball already I would have switched then. I have a nice padded gel wrist rest that sits under the right wrist so my right arm from the elbow forward is basically straight with my hand resting on the trackman's body (forearm is on armrest of chair). With the setting I use it doesn't require much finger movement to repeat a nice smooth "swing" with any of the 3 golf games I play (World Golf Challenge 2011, TGC and JNPG).
May not be for everybody but I always struggled with trying to "swing" with a regular mouse.

Fairway woods and Long irons
This is a short lesson on shots to the green from a long way out. I'll go into a bit more detail when I get to approach shots in a later lesson.

Playing from the rough
In the video the caddy has given me a 7 Iron for an elevated 168 yard shot. The rough penalty for the 7 Iron is 15% which gives me no hope of reaching the green. As I choose longer clubs the penalty increases so I have to do a quick calculation to find a suitable club. There won't be much choice in this situation and in my bag the choice will only between the 4 Iron or the 7 Wood.

Well! What a great idea and what a great input! This post should be pinned. It's a fountain of information for newbies and 'old hands' alike. Very nice Ted. Thank you very much for all this hard work. I will be looking into this for some time. Once finished (if ever..) it should be great to have this in a pdf format or something. One could also print it out and keep as a reference booklet. Nice going Ted! Beautiful!!
