When you putt the putter moves very slow. When hits the ball will move very. So you do not know what is going to happen. 

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
Open Kolf and play the game.

Actual Results:  
The putter moves very slow to hit the ball.

Expected Results:  
The putter should move faster. The should move faster.

At what resolution do you run kolf? I mean, full screen, in a small window?

In any case, try to start kolf from a konsole or Alt+F2 with:
kolf --graphicssystem raster

probably it will be faster (it does here). If it is the case, then it is a Qt or X11 driver problem.
Comment 2 Stefan Majewsky 2011-10-03 11:24:28 UTC 
On my system, this can reliably be worked around by starting Kolf with the command
"kolf -graphicssystem raster" (as mentioned in comment #1). I'm working on a patch that enables the raster graphicssystem by default; this should be in 4.8, we'll see if it can get into 4.7.3, too.

SVN commit 1257773 by majewsky:

On X11, choose raster graphicssystem automatically in libkdegames apps.

The QApplication::setGraphicsSystem calls in Kapman and Palapeli are
removed, as libkdegames does now care about this.

DIGEST: This quite improves the rendering performance on Qt <= 4.7.
