So now when you're against the face of a bunker you get an indicator if you're not going to clear the lip ON SIM MODE. That wasn't there before, right? Why make SIM even easier? Who's asking for that? I want the swing meter, putt meter and green grids turned off. Greater lie penalties. Bigger dispersion zones. Less skill points. Not more aids. Isn't that what Arcade, Pro and Tour are for?!
They’ve completely overtuned putting
I never expected to have put in 8 in putting just for it to remotely resemble last update
Im not fussed that my stats are now similar to what they were pre-patch 7.0 but it makes you question
Why on earth increase the level cap to 60 when our golfers are WORSE off than what they were before

I've gone up to level 8 putting after the update and I think the green grid is still larger than the 2' grid from before the update (based on quick estimate from the 10' putting challenges). Feels a little excessive to basically put the old grid at the top of the skill tree.
- @lolwhat1234 Agreed...I have 7 points in putting, and played a few holes just now. The grid looks exactly the same to me as it always has.
So, it seems that it still costs more coins to retrain some skills, even though the patch notes said it would be reduced to 50 "[d]ue to the volume of gameplay changes that have been made this season".
Driving skills still cost me 100 coins to retrain, and power takes 400 for me to retrain.

You pay per skill point, not level. It cost you 400 to remove 8 power skill points and 100 to remove 2 accuracy skill points.
@lolwhat1234That doesn't seem right.
When I select Power, and I select just the first skill point, it says it costs 400 points just for that one point. If I select all 7 of the Power points I have, it says it would cost 1800 coins.
And then when I look at Putting, where I also have 7 skill points, if I want to retrain the first skill point, it says it will cost 200. If I want to do all 7, it shows a cost of 800.Oddly, it seems that Driving Control, Approach and Short Game skill points are working the way I'd expect, where each point is 50 coins to retrain.
