Input guidance

Touch aim, angle/power sliders and Putt. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Read the example below alongside these instructions.

Follow the example

A soft final putt can sink where a fast crossing would not. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Check the stated objective.

Check this before moving on

The hole accepts only a sufficiently slow ball. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
