D Driver 5 5 Iron 7 7 Iron 9 9 Iron W Wedge P Putter Tips: 1. Takes practice to get a feel for putting. But the rule of max strength = distance 10 works pretty well . 2. If moving the target just a little selects a more powerful club ( lower number) , then select more powerful club. 3. Except when putting, always use max shot strength , since you are trying to hot your preset target which = max strength. Off Green Controls: 1. The shot will attempt to hit the target , but is affected by wind ( bottom Right number) , and how your shot timing is executed. Wind is only on in P0 difficulty A. (For reference, ->9 means the wind is blowing right 9 . So aim 9 to left of intended target. The greens are about 16 units wide. The course view playfield is 50 spaces vertically . So wind blowing up 9 , move target down about 1/5 way. You will get feel for how much to adjust with practice. Of course the other factors affecting your shot ( timing) will complicate the result. 2. To swing, pull down on Joystick. This will activate the shot strength meter . You want to achieve maximum strength on the meter always ( this is to the target you have set ). Push up on the joystick to begin downswing ( you want to do this when the strength meter is exactly at max ( or just below ) . Too little strength will cause a short shot. Push button to finish swing when the meter is exactly at 0. Too early ( slice to right ) or too late ( hook to left ) . (If your ball is higher than target this is reversed ) So shot mechanic is down - up - button. Avoid Water Hazard ( 1 stroke penalty). If ball lie is in trees or sand , this will have the affect of causing your shot to travel a bit shorter than usual . ON the green. 1. Putting is same as swing ( down - up - button) . The bottom right number is distance to pin. Think of the maximum shot strength = distance 10 or higher. So for a put of distance 6 , let the strength meter get about 70% . Button must be pressed at end unless distance is 1 or 0. Pressing button too soon will pull teh putt right and too late will cause the putt to miss left. It is possible to over putt ( too hard) so that teh putt rolls over the hole. On tee , Top row numbers are left: current net score ( over par = black, under par = red) and right :current hole. After tee shot, top row is left: current hole score and right : par for current hole. Bottom row are club and Wind ( distance to pin if on green)
