Some PSG tips that could make the difference between you being a good player and a top player-
1. TEE SHOT - When I started playing I used to press the shot button (5) twice, once to select the power and second time to select the accuracy. There is no need to do that. Just let the power bar run to max and press the shot button only to select accuracy. Less functions to perform equals better results.
Moreover if you have been playing the career mode for a long time and then suddenly enter an arena match, you tend to forget that the wind speed/ direction is no longer having an effect which could make that all important difference of one stroke.
2. Iron Shot - Selecting the correct iron for that all important second shot is much more critical. For its the second shot that generally determines that you will get a birdie/ eagle or end up with a par. The trick is to select a longer shot and hit using lesser power because if you manage your shot so that the power meter didn't needed to reach the red mark then you don't have to worry about the accuracy and the golf ball going right or left. Whenever you hit a shot with power meter less that the red mark your shot is fairly accurate in terms of direction regardless of the point you stop on the power meter. So the only thing you have to worry about in such a case is power so that the ball reaches close enough to the hole.
3. Chip Shot - The only thing to remember here is to practice and practice so that you can accurately judge the power required so that your chip shot lands inches off the hole (so that it doesn't get a chance to go left or right) and then straight into it.
4. Putting - Hitting even a 50 feet putt on a plain/ straight surface isn't a big deal. The problem comes when you get one of those extremely slopy surface (when the putting line is totally curved). Hitting even a 10 feet putt can be a pain in the as in such cases. There are two approaches now. First one is to hit the ball accurately with more power so that it doesn't dip towards the slope. Remember if you miss you will end up with another difficult shot on this slopy surface and probably with a bogey. This approach is therefore advised only for extremely short distances (8 feet or so). The second approach is to hit the ball with only the required power and move the end point of the ball off the hole towards the outer part of the curve, so that when you get the dip of the slope the ball ends in the hole.
Not sure if these points will be of any help to anyone (you probably knew these already) but thought to post them anyway. Also I am not good at posting screenshots, so bear with me.
