FYI
Take an interactive
lesson on using the
Classic swing! Once
you’re on the tee,
click the Menu tab
in the bottom-right
corner of the screen,
click Lessons, and
then click Basic
Swing Lesson.
TIP 1
The green line at the
12 o’clock position
represents full power.
Click earlier for a
shorter, smoother
swing; click later to
hit the ball farther,
but with less control.
TIP 2
If Mulligans are
allowed (see topic
15), right-click or
press CTRL+Z after
hitting the ball to stop
a shot immediately.
TIP
You can also execute
the Classic swing by
pressing and holding
the left mouse button,
releasing at the 12
o’clock position, and
then clicking at the
6 o’clock position to
set the direction.
FYI
There are three other
swing types:
Real Time Swing,
PowerStroke™, and
Easy Swing (see
topic 14).
NOTE
The Chip swing gauge
displays the average
distance of a full chip
with the selected club.

The 8th topic is a true classic—the
time-honored, traditional Links swing type.
This one’s a true gauge of shot-making
skill, which is why it’s the third-highest
handicap topic. Just swing easy and don’t be
disappointed if you don’t birdie #8 your  rst
time through.
To use Classic swing
1. Move the pointer over the Classic swing gauge.
2. Click to start the swing. A yellow indicator band
moves clockwise around the gauge.
3. When the indicator band reaches the green line
at the 12 o’clock position, click to set the power
of your swing (see TIP 1). The indicator band
continues to the end of the gauge, turns red, and
then reverses direction.
4. When the indicator band reaches the green line at
the 6 o’clock position, click to set the straightness
of your shot. Your golfer will now execute
the swing.
Hooking and Slicing
The green line at the 6 o’clock position represents a
straight shot. Click too soon and the ball will hook;
click too late and the ball will slice. The further
you click from the green line—and the more you
overswing on the power—the more severe the effects.
Chipping
A chip is a partial
swing. When using
the Classic (or any
other) swing type,
there is no ideal
power setting—on the
gauge or otherwise.
The distance of a chip shot is determined solely by
which club you use and how accurately you set the
power when you swing.
To select Chip mode
1. Move the pointer to the bottom of the screen, and
then click the Clubs menu tab (or open the Club
Gizmo—see topic 6).
2. Select Chip.
