Yes, I'm thinking the same, but this is my situation right now, and I've unlocked all the characters, including

These guys should learn how to assign trophies. For example, the fact that there is a silver trophy to get all the stars, but this means you must have 43 crowns, and then when you get 44 crowns, you gain a gold trophy, is dumb. This means that you won't probably get a trophy for days, and then you'll be able to get a silver one and a gold one at the same time.

Well, it is the first time the series has had trophies.
That said, I'd have preferred it if the albatross trophy was gold. I'm still waiting
I've done that a few times on a steep slope. Really great.Probably my favorite putt is when you go up past the hole by a foot or more and then it backs up and drops back in.
Got my first hole-in-one on one of the dailies yesterday. I thought it would stop at the edge of the cup like I've done 3 times before but it had enough juice to drop in.

I had a putt that stopped about .3 from the cup (but sloping moderately towards it) and then it made a sucking sound and went in. Really weird but appreciated.
Gyah these last few challenges are so brutal. I wanna just grind them with characters I haven't leveled up but that's not even worth it. Have about 5 left currently on the within 3 ft of pin one on the mountain course. Gotten 3.5 like 10 times. Freaking holes are designed to basically prevent you from even getting properly within 3 it's only even realistically possible on about 3 of the holes.
Ah well, good challenge.
Ah well, good challenge.
Argh I suck at this game. After 99999 (more like 25) tries I finally have beaten the Silver 1st course. It's really hard now, but I'm hoping the more I play the more I can unlock even if I don't win the new courses. If I can get better items then I'd surely have better chances on the newer ones.

I think after the 101st daily tourney round, I have to quit cold turkey; it's just too addicting, even if playing the 3 daily rounds isn't that time consuming.
If all goes well, I should still finish in the top 3%.

The game is now really trolling me. I managed to get a near perfect line to the hole with my albatross shot - and the ball jumped the hole and landed 1m away ;_;
Surprisingly, I managed to fire a homing shot off normal backspin and twice reached 4th place in the international tourneys.

These crowns are killing me. The no spin one on 5-2 is murder, and having to play all the way through an 18 hole tournament just to (fail to) birdie the 18th on 5-4 is just cruel. :'(
I also have two hole in ones, both on unofficial rounds. They really shouldn't consider real golf rules unofficial.
EDIT: Playing my first proper online match, it's rather pleasant actually. Doing well considering I'm playing with a 0 loyalty character. ^_^

The torture is over! \o/
Then, I did my daily tournaments. I scored 2 HIO's on the 18 hole course and came provisionally first

I've given up on caring about my ranking. I've had a couple horrible dailies that kicked me out of the top 10 and I probably have no chance of getting back in. I'll keep playing them in hopes of winning one.
Or if they ever have weekly or monthly leaderboards or a contest I might care about those. But as of right now. I'm happy I managed to get as high as 7th.
I've had a couple of approach shots on par 5's land an under a foot from the cup. This albatross better hurry up and get here.

I still have yet to get any of the shots trophies and the Hole in one and double eagle in an official round. I have been doing the dailies in hopes that I'll get one there but every time I am just a foot or so off of the pin so my homing shot spins on the green in no real direction instead of heading towards the hole. Using maxed Amy with Pin Hole club lvl 1 (haven't unlocked lvl2) or big air lvl 2 (depending on the course) clubs and the pin hole ball lvl 2. I just can't seem to line my shot up to thr right spot.

Goodie, that update can't happen soon enough.
Found another thing they need to fix On the daily tournaments if you tie (same stroke count, same points) it doesn't show a tie like it should -- one player's just shown as finishing higher than the other(s). Tied for 10th the other day, it put me 11th. Tied for first tonight, put me second. I play mine pretty late in the day so maybe it gives it to whoever entered earlier, I dunno.

I play mine pretty late in the day so maybe it gives it to whoever entered earlier, I dunno.I now have only my three most dreaded crowns last (other than the last vs.). All consistency based: 4-2 (80% fairway) and 4-3/5-3 (keep GIR) - I'm getting great scores on the rounds, but mainly because my recovery is so good.
EDIT: Every time I bitch here I go straight back in and get one. 100% fairway rate! ^_^

Is one of those the one in the rain with Gale Force winds? That one was a bitch. I had my approach shot on the last hole roll on to the fringe like 3 times gah!
Yeah, didn't help for me that I was levelling Pandora as well (Rain=
). Have moved onto Izzak now though, hopefully I can get it done tonight! ^_^There are a couple of holes where you have to land your tee shot in a very specific place or you're screwed. You'll get it eventually.Yeah, didn't help for me that I was levelling Pandora as well (Rain=
I've perfected it on all but the 6th now, which is the long par 4 with a break in the fairway and the wind is always a headwind. Best I can manage at the moment is getting to the absolute top of the bottom part with Izzak, but that leaves a tricky second to get it on... and of course when I do nail that one I screw up one of the others! :'(
Still, I can always try again with Max for that extra distance. I think he might end up as my go to character, that extra distance gives you so many options.
*tears of joy*
Now I need to somehow get 46k more to get the last items in the shop (aside from the rest of the lobby parts). Any tips on the best way to go about getting them? I always play the dailies, but the online takes so damn long to get a match finished (entered an 18 hole tournament at about 21:05 and finished just before 22:00, only four people). :/
Challenges aren't going to give any bonus points now either.

Dailies are absolutely the best way to grind credits. No real tips other than on my way to the Plat, max loyalty grinding was playing 18 holes on the easiest courses. Prob the easiest / quickest way to earn credits.
I'm bombing on the dailies. Was 29tg now slipping a couple of spots each day
the good players are catching up Yeah as I still need a fair few of the skill based trophies, I'm playing through the first couple of 18 hole challenges. Quick enough and nets 8-10k a go, that and the dailies (and the odd online tournament, curious to see what the update adds there) should get me everything soon enough!
Pretty much haven't touched anything else on the Vita since I started this. £70 sitting in my PSN wallet ready to spend too!

To bring this from the Vita thread... Top spin shot would be best for the water skipping? Most I have gotten was 1 skip.
Yeah, super spin if possible. I've managed to skip it five times (hole 5 on challenge 1-3) but each time it either doesn't make ground or it skips up to the grass verge and rolls back in (and if the ball sinks, the skips don't count).
I've also had more than one instance where I've missed the perfect impact and it's skipped, and where I've nailed the super topspin and the ball has hit the water and sunk.
Wind will play a factor as well I think, you really want a tailwind to keep the trajectory low and speed high.

I was thinking the same thing actually. I'll try that now. Outside of that any club and ball recommendations? using pin hole ball lvl 2 and big air club lvl 2 right now.

Finally got all of the crowns! Now if I can just get that damn water skip trophy.
I hit the aquaduct in the daily and eagled the hole! Then i hit a sailboat and double bogeyed a par 5
edit: For grinding I always did the second 18 hole tournament. I could always get over 4000 points plus the slightly higher multiplier, plus the 3600 for winning. Overall, I'd get about 8500 points per 18 holes.
