Some JN6 users play the game exclusively from this camera position. Personally, I prefer the normal view. For animations, you'll see your on-screen persona pump his fist after a birdie putt or double over in agony after missing a short putt for par. Water hazards are also animated but your frame rate may take a hit if your PC doesn't have some muscle. The flag waves in a breeze and in a strong wind you'll notice the flagstick realistically bend under the load.
Divots fly from the fairway and sand splashes from the bunkers.
Nice attention to detail. You can also decide whether you want to play in fog and specify its density. The PIP view is useful for fine-tuning your aim, rather than relying only on the standard overhead view of the hole, and can be set to any of 16 different camera positions. One of the only negatives in the graphic department is that the Nicklaus team didn't see the need to use true 3D objects. Aside from the 3D polygonal golfers themselves, the game lacks any 3D objects.
