One way to build points (I kind of stumbled on by mistake) is to use the "All play" swing setting (I think that's what it's called). It shows you the trajectory for your upcoming shot given a club selection and more importantly, it gives you a full 100% swing. It's really cheating but you can build power, accuracy, etc points to apply to your skills.
I will say that my +1 second round was played without this option though.
