I really hope they include an option to create our own player with custom club distances. This would really add a lot to the game.
I would love to see a preshot presentation style so that we are looking at the screen from a first person view for as long as possible until we actually start swinging with the ani visible.
The ani blocks out such a large portion of the screen along with all of the UI stuff.
Why not showcase the courses more by starting each tee shot like this?

Now that's a golf view. Beautiful and uncluttered, just like stepping up to the tee in real life. Need to know the yardage? Look at your scorecard or the top view (hotkeys please. For everything. Let us get all of the stuff off of the screen)
With each tee shot the cursor would start "ball in hand" (just like moving the ball on the tee) waiting for the player to place the ball wherever they chose on the teebox.
Afterwards, hotkey the club selection/bag option to choose your club.
Hotkey the wind if needed.
The ani only appears as the last step before swinging, just like you taking your stance and preparing to swing.
All of the preshot preparation should take place from our POV with as much of the course in view as possible.
Each shot could start like this. For approaches and putts just have the camera centered about 10 feet behind and 6 feet high with the ball laying where it is normally without the ani there.
Also, hover menus in game can take care of most of what players need to do.
Hover over the ball at any time for information and/or a graphic representation of the lie.
Hover on the hands for club/shot selection while the ani is onscreen
Hover on the head to bring up the distance and elevation information.
Optional of course.
