Cool.

I don't really have any performance issues here, not with hard 13 or
anything else I tested. But then this is not really an old machine
(1.4GHz Centrino without X11 acceleration except XAA)

Well, the ball of player one was a bit above the moving bar on the left,
player two was under the leftmost bumper and I putted the
player-two-ball. When that happened and the putter moved to player one's
ball it suddenly moved a bit to the side as if it had been kicked
slightly.

What I meant to say was, if there's nobody actively working on kolf
maybe the same decision needs to be made. Obviously you are working on
it, so just ignore that part of my email please :)
