New Features

Added a new default Swing Meter with a fill rather than an arrow to eliminate the stuttering caused on some machines. We left the old swing meter in there for those who prefer it. IT is selectable in the same device location and is called Swing Meter Pointer
All new controller integration to allow for better control with the controller
Added support for inviting friends in pre game from the controller. This can be done by selecting them from the player slots or by navigating to the Friends Tab. Use X button to Toggle between Chat area and rest.
Added move ball on Tee - Move mouse over ball position and cursor will change click where you want the ball moved too. Clicking in front of the tee box will not move the ball. For the controller use Left Trigger in Dpad Up to swap between move ball mode and aim stick when on tee. Once in move ball mode depress left stick (RH Mode) to activate the ball and use stick to move ball around. Press A to complete
