ok, well I haven't really walked around and talked to some of these people so that may be the case. I'll have to get on that and see if that is where they are lurking.

I think there are 5 with 1 more as a pre-order bonus. plus there's one more (or two if you didn't pre-order) that's available from psn store as a DLC. The problem is that initially there will be only one course open to you and you have to play through the single payer mode to unlock the courses.

That leads me to the things that could've been improved upon. They are minor but definitely something which would improve the overall experience...

1. All the courses should be accessible in offline multiplayer mode at least. if i want to play an offline mode with my buddies or want to have a quick round of golf,i should be able to select any course I want to choose.

2. In game instructions could be enhanced. As an example the game told me to "it's a low lie and you need to increase the elevation" or "you would hit the obstacle and need to lower the elevation" but for the life of me I couldn't figure out how to increase or decrease the elevation. maybe the game should have a pop-up which says "hold the d-pad down to increase elevation" or some such.

3. The "3 click control" doesn't work as well for putting, especially the gimmes. The game actually penalises you for hitting a great approach shot coz if you are within 2-5 feet of the ball, it's difficult to mash the button to get the right amount of power. I missed a couple of easy putts coz I wasn't able to nail the power accurately owing to the power indicator/flag too close to the start of the meter. Maybe a bigger impact zone for easy putts is the way to go.

But that's nitpicking coz the game plays really well and guarantees you hours of fun.

I got a new caddy after I reached Rank 2 and he's an improvement on that default caddie who starts grating on your nerves after a while

You will have to find the caddy in the home/hub area. I was looking around in the home area coz the game told me "a new item is available in the home area" or some such. I came across this bloke standing there and I pressed X and the guy said he could be my caddy. After that all you need to do is go to the customization menu by pressing options and go to "caddy" and select the new one.

By the way i was never able to find the item that's supposed to be somewhere in the home area as I keep on getting a pop-up for the same but finding this new caddy was worth it.

Finally unlocked Karts! Pretty sure I am only missing Fishing now...

There are a couple things I have noticed while playing, maybe it'll help a few of you guys too.

1. Even if you hit Perfect Impact you might slightly push or pull your shot. If you look in the bottom left corner after you swing there is a picture of the club you're using and a small meter with a line in the middle of it. If the dot appears in the middle it should go right where you aimed, but it will not always be there. I am pretty sure this is the 'sway' mechanic that's talked about when leveling up the Control of a Club. Sometimes, even with Perfect Impact, I will notice I am still hitting the ball off center.

2. It seems like Backspin Shots will cause more 'sway'. I find that whenever I hit a Backspin Shot I will hit it off center 8 times out of 10. This has caused me to miss the Green quite a few times already so sometimes it will be better to simply run the ball up to the hole.

I couldn't get the Manual to load at all so maybe it covers these things already but they are really sticking out to me at the moment.

Is there any way to have the overhead view as the default after you tee off? It only happens sometimes but prefer that view over all the others in the game.

Spoiler

Should be right next to the stairs, near the tournament desk. You should see some sparkles. They are really hard to spot sometimes

And I was looking all over the place for it

Okay, what's the difference in level and rank then? I'm 3 in one of them, but no clue which. As much as I love the game, some design choices are very confusing to someone newer to the series.
