Vince Pinto Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 Hi guys, This game is kinda fun, but the "windmill" hole is a bummer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skywalker Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 Nice. I don't know why do they name it Golf: to me it's more of a billiard game (I was able to score several eagles by shooting from the cushions...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Run n Gun Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 This game is kinda fun, but the "windmill" hole is a bummer After four holes in one, including the “windmill” hole, I thought I was unstoppable! That is until the last hole, ELEVEN OVER PAR!!! Sounds like my shooting, lately. Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalmas Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 We used to play this alot as a departmental competition and my best score was 19 shots, hole 8 cost a perfect score, I'll see if I can dig up the screenshot of my score card. Skywalker is right some good pool knowledge will help in the quest for 18 shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRD Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 19 shots! Youch. I can't seem to beat 31...and I got lucky on a couple there... I managed to discover that if you change the size of your browser window, you can get more velocity on the ball as the course shrinks. - Gabe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalmas Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 There is a trick for all holes, I'm certain 18 is possible, just have to find out how to get more juice on 8... 17 place the ball in the bottom back corner and full power about 45 degrees up to the right...with some luck it will dropp in the hole. I have start playing again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince Pinto Posted May 14, 2004 Author Share Posted May 14, 2004 Best I've managed so far is 22, and I can't imagine how it's possible to get below 20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalmas Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 GRD (nice golfin') will soon find the few tricks left to break 20. I only have a pc at work and it was just locked so I have to wait until I get one at home to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehli Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 Someone wanna tell me what the trick is on 4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalmas Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 I use the arrows to remember starting pos. I don't know how to ad the screen shot so here is an explanation. For hole 4 - you start in the upper front corner. the leading yellor aiming dot (6th)should cover arrow 15/6. 15th row from the starting box 6th arrow from the top. If correct it will bounce arond abit and finally fall in the hole... good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehli Posted May 29, 2004 Share Posted May 29, 2004 (edited) Thank you, sir! Well, if I could put together a consistent game (have the same problem shooting), I could get an 18 (I've managed a hole-in-one on all holes). The way to play 8 is this: Place ball in lower right hand corner. You then need to be able to count grass squares. On the left there's about half a square... count that as one. Go to the edge of the 7th (the greener edge, not the lighter one) and place the tail/handle of the putter in line with that and on the black border of the barrier. HOLE-IN-ONE! Also, I had the trick on 17 (place either the 3rd or fourth dot at the white/gray intersection on the 4th or 5th stone w/ Dalmas' placement), but it doesn't seem to be working for me now (got it working again... 4th dot on the corner of the 5th stone where the white intersects gray [upper left hand corner]... needs to be just touching). Only thing I need to figure out now ('cause I'll never be able to time the thing) is what placement and angle is necessary on 13 to get a hole-in-one going through one of the side "ports." Ah... it's the little things in life. Here's my best: Edited May 29, 2004 by 300lbGorilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehli Posted May 29, 2004 Share Posted May 29, 2004 (edited) An exercise in counting grass panels: how many do you see on the final screen (only interested in L to R). I count 31 and a partial (on the left)... that'd be 32. Ever closer: Edited May 29, 2004 by 300lbGorilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehli Posted May 29, 2004 Share Posted May 29, 2004 Got back from a match... needed to succeed at something. Posted a 21 and then this: 14 was a fluke shot. I'll have an 18 posted sometime this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalmas Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 great shooting!! I found the x-tra power i need on 8. making the screen smaller and the just wider gave me the x-tra juice needed. I just shot 19...goofed on 14. 18 is just around the corner... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehli Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 Heh... gamer! Once you figure out the tricks, it's easy. I think I'm done playing now... 4 or 5 18s in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalmas Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 yeah that's why I quit at 19 before, just couldn't find out how easy it was to find the extra power needed on 8... once you find the tricks it's all about remembering where to place the dots on the triangles...

Vince Pinto Posted May 31, 2004 Author Share Posted May 31, 2004 I find that the "windmill" stage is a crap shoot - a lot depends on luck. However I've never had a hole-in-on on 17 and I'll be damned if I can figure out how you guys did it ......... any clues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 I've had a few hole-in-one hits on 17. My method is to place the ball all the way right, and all the way down, then pull the putter all the way back to the lower-left corner of the screen. The ball will bounce from rail to rail about a zillion times...give it lots of umph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehli Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 13 (windmill stage): place ball in upper left hand corner. Aim towards right port... you want your dots to be almost in line with the edge of the port (you'll notice the bottom edges of the port look kind of like this: \ / ). Obviously, err on the side of caution and if you think it's too far off, move it one "step" (the dots don't move fluidly, they move in steps, just like your mouse) so that you're more in the port. Get as much power on it as you can; you'll almost be off the bottom of the screen. It'll go through, bounce up towards the right corner, rebound to behind the windmill house and bounce into the hole. Obviously it'll take a couple tries to get the dot placement right. 18: place ball in lower left hand corner. You want the fourth dot to be JUST TOUCHING the corner of the 5th stepping stone where the white and gray intersect. The ball will go past the hole into the upper corner and bounce into the hole. HTH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalmas Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 How many valuable dry-fire hours has now been spent on this waste of time? .... None don't have a pc at home.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehli Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 Actually I'm wasting valuable paper-writing time. End of a 20-unit, 5-class quarter—not many hours available to spend on it. Just use it as an extra 4 or 5 minute distraction when there's only about 10 minutes of reading on the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalmas Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 Ok guys enough with the kiddy game Here is one for the really rainy days - It's a challange just to keep under 18 shots on the first hole (on the first try)... EnjoyOnline Golf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
