Using Putt Preview and Other Putting Tips For Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 For Wii
Here are some tips to using putt preview. I really did not understand the entire concept until I watched some of my friends and how they set up to putt.
For my setup I would look over the putt, seeing if I was uphill or downhill, see if the green was slope left or right or both. I would then position myself with my best guess and press putt preview. The preview would show me how close I was to the actual trajectory and whether the 100% putt would go farther or fall short.
What I did not realize was that during my setup if I set the putting distance at less than 100%, putt preview would show me the path based on what I had set up. Now as part of my setup I adjust the distance as well as the angle. This has improved my putting quite a bit.
Here are a few more tips:
Do you count the number of squares on putt preview your short or long on? They are in increments of 5 ft. each. After you exit putt preview you can adjust your putting distance arrow to add or subtract how many yards you are short or long and read the percentage. For example, you have the 40 ft. putter selected and you set the arrow to 40ft. You look at putt preview and it shows you two squares or 5 ft. long. Exit putt preview and back off the putter 10 ft. to 30ft. The percentage below the 30ft mark reads 75%. That is what you shoot for on the power meter. 75% is 3/4 of the way up.
If you have an uphill putt, the putter selected will seldom do the job. Select the next level putter before looking at the putt preview. The same is true for downhill putts. Back down one level before you look at putt preview.
Good Luck!

Young Michelle Wie Cracks European Tour Lineup – PR Move Or Pure Talent?
With the European Masters drawing closer, there is a stir in the air over qualifying issues and a particular player that was invited. This player happens to be the young and vibrant Michelle Wie. At 16 years of age and still carrying much of the girlish charm, this Hawaiian native is taking the golf world by storm. She has had raving endorsement, from some great players on the PGA tour such as Ernie Els.
There have been some golfers however, that feel that this is not exactly fair. While Wie is indeed under sponsorship from Omega, the very same company that is sponsoring this year’s event at Cran-sur-Sierre in Switzerland this is not a free qualification. The thought among many of the men is that with her competing, she in turn is taking a spot away from a carded member that has earned a spot on the tour.
Many speculate that this is more a PR moves on the part of Omega, rather than the fact that she is a qualified golfer capable of making the cut. Fact remains; Wie has only made the cut once on the men’s tour, earlier in the month while in South Korea. It is also speculated that the field that she was competing against in that tournament was less than strong.
This young female golfer has yet to bring home a major in the LPGA, and Wie has only appeared in a mere eight men’s events. Wie is very capable of driving with the big boys, and does not have a problem with her short game, yet for some reason she is struggling against the men.
The very best of luck is wished upon her for this up coming event, for what ever the reason she is there, be it PR moves for funding or the fact that she does have a raw talent for the game.
