Sadly, the answer I can give you is the obvious, hit the snap.

Other tips, don't go over 100% power if your snap hitting is not spot on and just learn how the ball reacts on each green surface (soft, normal, hard).

Soft greens especially hitting into a back to front sloping green, club up and hit less power so you don't get the over spin back. Hard greens, look for the distance to the front of the green and aim for that. A well snapped wedge on hard will have a big bounce, then a smaller one and then should stop dead if not spin back a touch. Wherever possible on hard greens, I try to bounce on fringe or fairway so first bounce on greens is much smaller.

Plat percentage golf rather than pin hunt..as you get better reading the landing reactions, then you can aim tighter.

Hope that helps. Other than that, no cheat codes in play, just to clarify

There is no cheating just hit the bottom of the snap as that is the trick. It's no secret that there are some very good played at 3C who have mastered the swing over the years and they will go low almost all the time. There are a handful of us who play RTSM and we will never sniff those numbers as the swing is brutal but the rewards are much more gratifying IMHO. My advise is to just play and enjoy and don't worry about the scoreboard and pick a few rivals to see how you match up each week as the top of the leaderboard will be tough to attain.
