When chipping around the greens, be sure to turn the grid on to get an idea of which way the chip will break once it hits the green.
This will also tell you whether the green slopes away from you or towards you, which is a big factor in how hard to hit your chip shot.
Not only will this help you get more chips closer, but you'll also start holing out more shots from around the green.

After a shot, the smart replay is nice, but hit shift+smart replay to get the replay dialog box.
You have more options there.
Including the ability to save/view a hole-out!

Don't be in a big hurry to swing the club.
The player interface is easy to use, but rushing will result in a hurried shot that doesn't take power or aim into consideration.
Your pre-shot setup is the most crucial factor of where your ball will end up.

Don't always trust the auto-caddie.
Keep an eye on the distance to the pin and use the club you think will get you there.
Time spent practicing will give an adequate idea of how far each club will drive the ball.

Go to preferences, advanced, and shift+verify while in a game (on or off-line) to see the vital statistics of the game.

When playing in medium or strong winds, I like to use the ctrl+arrow keys to set up a fade or draw going 'into' the wind.

For example, if I have a 150 yard shot with the wind blowing 15 mph from my right to left, I'll set up for a generous fade.
Doing this lessens the effect of the wind and makes judging the shot much easier.
