Game Is Too Easy
I bought it at the end of May and have logged in 15 hours. I use stick control and all my settings are set to hard with all aids turned off except for the putting grid so Sim difficulty. Even thoug...

If you still have the putting grid, that’s not sim difficulty.
I do agree the game is easy, but the only way you will get somewhat of a challenge is by having no aides, no zoom, no wind or elevation meter, no swing meter, no putting grid etc etc
I disabled the swing meter and use the movement of the avatar's swing instead. What I still use is wind and elevation and the grid because in real life you would know how strong the wind is and how much of an elevation difference there is. Turning off the grid, wind and elevation is an "artificial" way of making the game more difficult. The swing has to be made more difficult and putting weight should be by feel rather than having a display of the weight moving a marker forward or backwards.
I also have 2K23 which I really don't particularly like that much but the full swing is a real challenge compared to EA's game. The fact that it is way more challenging means regardless of how unrealistic a lot of elements of the game are there is more satisfaction when you pull off a shot. In 2K23 I play at Master level, again with the putting grid and after playing more than double the hours I have played EA golf my best score is an 82. Keep in mind that Master level is one below the most difficulty level of Legend.
How is turning off the green grid artificial?
You wouldn’t know the exact wind strength irl either, especially if you have the setting on wind gusts
your approximate wind is given to you before you start the round.
trust me, you will not be shooting a 61 every round with all these aides switched off.

I basically agree with the OP, and have been stating the same concerns since I started playing the game. Except in my case I do turn off all the additional aids except for wind direction, and like the OP the green grid. Like him, I don't feel the wormcam gives you much information. That you can't provide a very good 3D representation on a 2D screen.
I have played multiple rounds without the green grids and have shot -5 each time. So I expect the OP would be about the same.
I would argue with how tempo should work in the game. EA doesn't need to use the same swing mechanics as 2K. I would rather tempo be tied to distance, which it appears it is. But I would like to see the swing path be more sensitive, that straight is 1 pixel wide... and every pixel missed is exponentially wider.
The game is much too easy as it is. It is more about course management than shot execution.
