FYI
Take an interactive
lesson on aiming!
Once you’re on the
tee, click the Menu
tab in the bottom-
right corner of the
screen, click Lessons,
and then click
Aim Lesson.
TIP
You can position the
Aiming Marker in
any cam!
TIP
As the Aiming Marker
moves, the Elevation
Information displays
distances between
the ball, Aiming
Marker, and hole (see
graphic above).
NOTE
The position of the
Aiming Marker has no
effect on the distance
of your shot, unless
you’re using Easy
Swing, in which case
the Aiming Marker
determines both the
direction and distance
of your shot. See topic
14 (“Swing Types”).
TIP
Press and hold CTRL
while aiming and the
golfer will disappear.
This can be useful for
shots where you’ve
rotated or if the golfer
is obstructive.

Don’t look past this one! Swing away without
aiming  rst and you’re just asking for a
triple-bogie. Before teeing off, look for the red
and white striped pole. This Aiming Marker
is automatically aligned to the center of the
fairway (or to the  agstick). The astute golfer
takes nothing for granted, however, and will
reposition the Aiming Marker to compensate for
shot type and distance, wind, or obstacles.
To aim your shot
1. Press and hold the left mouse button to display the
Aiming Marker.
2. Drag the Aiming Marker to the position you want.
3. To display the Aiming Marker without moving it (or
to hide it), right-click.
Breakline Indicator
When the Aiming Marker is
on the green, an indicator
line shows the direction in
which the terrain slopes from
the Aiming Marker’s current
position. The Aiming Marker
also functions as a gauge;
its base turns yellow and
rises like a thermometer to
indicate increased steepness.
Off the green, the Breakline Indicator disappears,
but can be displayed by pressing and holding SHIFT
while aiming.
IMPORTANT!
Using the Aiming Marker is the only way to aim your
shot. Using the Rotate function to aim your shot will
not work.
Rotating Your Golfer
Rotating your golfer simply changes the view in
the Main Cam, though this can be useful in some
situations, such as being too close to an obstacle
to  nd a valid position for the Aiming Marker. For
example, if your ball lies at the base of a massive
boulder, you may need to rotate toward the fairway,
set the Aiming Marker, and then chip out.
To rotate your golfer
1. Move the pointer to the bottom of the screen, and
then click the Rotate Menu tab.
2. To rotate toward the  agstick, click the  ag icon;
to rotate toward the Aiming Marker’s current
position, click the Aiming Marker icon; or, to rotate
left or right, click the left or right arrow.
3. When you’re  nished, click OK, or move the
pointer off the Rotate Menu.
