I am only happy to answer any amount of questions to people who actually bother reading my answers

I believe I can speak for everyone here when I say that it is always great to see people returning to the game, so please ask everything you feel like.
About the red-and-white aiming pole - It is supposed to appear by left-clicking (or holding left-click and dragging) anywhere you want to aim, both in the main cam and top cam (although, it is not supposed to appear in the
top cam if playing on Elite mode). I think right click toggles it between visible and invisible. It is not unheard of with issues getting it to display, there is a known solution which works for most people but Im not sure if I should link to it until I have a better idea of whether it actually is that one you need - dont want to lead you on a wild goose chase. Are you saying the red-and-white aiming pole will not appear in the main cam whatsoever?
The slope indicator at the base of the pole is called BLI (Break Line Indicator) and is toggled on or off in Options > Players > [select your player] > the Settings tab > "Use Break Line Indicator".

I put my courses in the Courses folder I created. This is where I had them years ago. How do I change my player, sounds, and skies?
Hmm... I dont think you should have needed to create those folders yourself. Did you create those folders in the same folder that contains the LinksMMIII.EXE file?
If no:
Try to remember where you installed Links, that is where the main Links folder should be. By default this is often at C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Links 2003 , then use the sub-folders there.
If yes:
1. Rename the sky folder to "skies"
2. While your configuration with the sound files may work (Im not sure, but I have no Sounds folder), it might be best to cut your Sound files out of your Sounds folder and put them directly in the main Links folder if they are .SSF main soundscript files and into the "WAVS" folder if they are WAV files.
3. To place your club files correctly, enter Links 2003\PolyAni\clubs (create the clubs folder if its not there) and put them there. Possibly it works to put them directly into the PolyAni folder, but mine are in the clubs folder.
3. Open Links (restart Links if it was running while you moved files)
4. If you dont find our player in the list of Players, create a new player where you select your golfer model and clubs files. They should appear in the selection lists.
5. To select your skies, go to Options > Graphics Settings . There is a selection for Random skies too.
6. To select your main soundscript sound files, go to Options > Sound Settings. If you instead mean player sound files - see my earlier post. If you mean communication sound files for Online Play - I have no clue about those, clarify and someone else who knows will probably help.
