Getting used to the game now. But sometimes when putting even if you only have say 1 yard to go and you use 100% power the put doesn't reach the hole??? What am I doing wrong?

I haven't played this iPhone version, but on the console you have several different putters. Often, if you have a 4 or 5 foot putt and the game by default puts the 5 foot putter in your hand, it won't be enough, in particular if it's an uphill putt. I always switch to the 10 foot putter in those situations. Don't know if it's the same on the iPhone, but it's worth checking out.
Wow, not sure why they did it like that. I can understand having a single putter, but one that won't get the ball to the cup when you hit it at 100% sounds like a mistake, even if it only happens occasionally.
It's more complex than that, if you just hit it 100% without reading the green, then you are bound to miss - either by falling short or overshooting it. You have to read the green and make adjustments, just like actual golf.
Agreed, it is too easy. My first Pro Tour I romped home 6 shots clear of second place. Putting is a simple one-shot attempt (frequently collecting $1000 for long sinks) and the wind, while nice to have, is far to easy to correct for.
All in all a good game but not of sufficient challenge.
How do you turn off Putt Preview? I have turned off Caddie Tips and only use Putt Preview on the tough putts and it is still way too easy. I haven't played through the full set of tournaments yet, I'm hoping the courses get harder as you go but right now after 4 tourneys I am whipping the field.
Yeah, talk about easy
Literally every event I play in I come in about 20-45 shots ahead.
I started off with caddy tips but turned that off trying to make it harder but once you get the feel for the grid system it is just as easy.
I was hoping to find a difficulty setting somewhere. It just get a little tedious when mathematically you can "Stroke Limit Exceeded" the last 5-8 holes and still win. The annoying part of the game is that you still have to play those last holes as well.
Good game but once you have managed to get it there is little it can offer. I feel after 4 days of use and having won the PGA tour that the game is finished as it can't really offer me much. I wan't it to be ridiculously hard, like real golf.
Wow
This tells me I will enjoy playing this game for a very long time.
No way I will ever have a score like that. (u-go-now)

Just don't click on the putt preview button!!! aish
And i don't know how you can say you use the putt preview on the tough putts and complain about how easy it is
Some advice as others have given, don't use the putt preview
Caddy tips for me are useless, that's not my problem. My problem is you can't disable putt preview, and it's too tempting for me. So really for me I'm the problem.
The app is 160MB so it is quite big. How fast is your internet? It took about 8 minutes to download and install on mine.
