I'll give it a crack, but I'm expecting a typical score of 200+ :narnar:

4th is seriously impressive, so I'm intrigued, what was your actual score?

[albert]

I scored 76.55 with GI-D cheap balls with virtually no spin but I've yet to get every hole score under 10. I've played it a lot so have some very certain tips.

Hole 2 - don't change anything in terms of club, pitch etc. aim a few feet right of the hole and power just under 50%.

Hole 4 - same as 2 change nothing aim half the screen right of the flag, power just under 50% and it'll roll
gently to the hole from way right.

7 and 8 are a bitch but I have them nailed.

So Full shots for both, your loftiest wedge, full backspin, aim about as far right as possible without aiming on the rough. Fringe is good.

Hole 7- out of rough, power just under 50% with a 64 degree wedge. Less power is better than too much.

Hole 8 - same as 7 but not out of rough and hit 25% power on the nose.

Again both are full shot, not pitch or flop as the full shot gets the ball further in the air to a landing zone way right of the pin to trickle down the hill to the hole.

That score was 4th at Master when I hit it and 47 in All at last look.

79.51 is as good as I get!   But I see you got into the mid-sixties! :blink:

[albert]

I think if we do more of these and we all post tips on how to play each hole we could get multiple dMw folks in the top 50. A team effort.

[TeaLeaf]

49.41 and 37th overall.

I just saw, nice score mate. I got into the 50s but I'd have to improve to beat that. Got 56 in the 18 hole event on that same par 3 course. That was fun. Good prizes as well.

Sheesh, I got 51 and checked to see how your 49 was holding out. Top 50 is 49.2 ish.

This game changes fast!
