In fact, recall the rocky borders of the Badlands course. As stated earlier, the rocks come across as flat textures rather than three-dimensional rocks spread over the course. You can use this feature to your advantage by aiming for the rocks. Balls seem to roll forever on the rocky surfaces, which in real life would stop your ball quickly. It's more like rolling on concrete.
Balls roll, and roll, and roll.
Once on the putting green, the putting game is a breeze. Using the analog stick to putt is similar to regular strokes. Pulling back on the stick increases the power of the shot, and pushing forward starts the forward stroke. The problem lies with the putting greens themselves. There is no way to view the breaks on the greens.
