How do you get the chipping meter to show up? I've been right off the green plenty of times and not once has it shown for me.

My Fed Ex ranking has dropped from 54th (based on finishing 10th in the one event I could play) to 86th. Out of the top 50 needed for some events. So the only way I can "fully" enjoy the game is if I spend more money on courses? Game is a blast and I am having fun, but as a matter of principal I won't be paying for courses and after skipping the game for a couple of iterations I could once again see it happening. Why should I be "punished" for not being willing to spend more money? Could you imagine not being able to play a regular season game of Madden unless you purchased all the stadiums? No, and while I understand the licensing needed for each course, why not for season mode allow me to play them gratis, but still have to purchase them to play in other game modes or online, for tournaments and things? I feel like I've wasted my time even making it to the PGA Tour now.

the whole course debate will forever go on. but there are sim heads that do not care about real life courses. except for Augusta....every other course on a TW game should be made up. and im not talking about the current fantasy courses that are a sham. I am sure the majority of TW gamers dont know exactly what each course looks like in real life anyway. golf gamers do not dissect whether or not a certain hole on a course is wrong.. or if a green doesnt have the right undulation, a tree missing here or there, or the bunkers are incorrectly placed, etc.

EA can say its to provide gamers more options...but lets be real here. this is a corporation, its sole purpose is to make money. all of its moves are planned and coordinated, with one goal in mind.

Then go play HSG if you do not want to play a Golf game with the most PGA TOUR licensed courses of any Golf game ever made. I have never heard anyone with even a passing interest in Golf games make the comments you have made.....other than I DO agree with you on the hideous "fantasy/arcade" courses they have....

I HATE the current fantasy courses. I refuse to play them. I wouldn't mind a well-designed (realistic) fantasy course like some of the awesome ones that were being generated for Links Golf but the current fantasy courses just aren't my cup of tea.

Got a question I couldn't find online elsewhere:

Got an injury to my left thumb that's going to take awhile to heal. Haven't played a golf game in awhile. Can the control scheme for hitting be done with the right thumbstick? Are there options to set it up to do this? Left thumb is so bad right now I can't even push the left stick up right now. Tough injury for a gamer like me to have but hoping I may have found something I can play..Thanks! This is for the xbox 360 or PS3 by the way.

In a word, Yes. I use the right thumbstick for my swing by default. You basically just swap, then so your strike control is done with the left stick. It can be found in the options screen. Hope your thumb gets to feeling better sooner than later.

I just bought the Masters Edition last night at Best Buy for $10.00. I did get it on the PS3 and I'm getting ready to create my golfer. Does anyone have any tips for playing TW '14?
