Apologies that you have found the controls / interface difficult to use. We put a "help" page right off the main menu that explains the controls and fundamentals of the game. If you feel this is not helpful or not easy to understand, we would be very open to your input as to how we can make this more clear or helpful.
Gave this a try when it was first uploaded, and while I didnt mind it on the whole, I could see many things that needed fixing or polishing. still , i reasonably enjoyed it.
Now i see an updated version, its a little improved, but still needs something more. The draggable camera doesn't work correctly - it judders all over. The intial flyby works better than the first version though.
I didn't mind the originals physics/ball movement to be honest. I just found all the other things needed improving.
Oh and lastly, the tutorial level didn't work for me. It started when the game started, and it said 'click the ball', i did, and then it switched to the main title screen! ? :s
It's not a bad game, I like it actually :D
I think that this is a really good attempt at a game! A few things I would say need to be fixed:
-Add sound effects or music
-Mark the traps a little better
-Make the golf ball white
-Add a tutorial
-Try to overall add to the visual appeal of the game
Things you did well:
-The controls make sense
-Graphics are overall decent
-Medals
-Cool idea for a game
Overall, this is quite alright for a beginner's game.

Sure, It's a simple game but it was actually fun to play except for some problems:
First add in a graphic of a club swinging back when you move the mouse so you know which way the ball will go.
Second, I would recommend changing the 'mud?' (lose a ball terrain) to a different color (maybe red Lava or just add animation to show it is not dirt) Also, losing a ball because it goes off the top of the screen feels like a cheap trick to punish the player. Did a bird eat it? If you want to limit movement then put a roof on the level.
Third. DO NOT have a maximum stroke limit. I was smiling playing the game when suddenly -game over. too many strokes- Frowning! There is no point to a max stroke limit other than to annoy players. If you have over 4 strokes per hole, you already know you suck at the game. Don't point it out to the player and end their game. just let them have fun playing the levels.
