Yeah, all of the expert characters have their weak points. You need to overcome their weakness to get to their strengths. Expert = hard mode initially.
Everybody's Golf / Hot Shots Golf: World Invitational |OT| You're invited too!

And that's how it should be and why I believe everybody's/hot shots golf is one of the best and most balanced sports games/simulations.
It's not a case of now I have the best character I'm going to win.
It's more a case of now I can hit it further but I'm more likely to screw up and the punishment will be greater.
Argh Andy could you send me another tourney invite. I selected Izzak, I was on automatic mode duh. I'd rather select someone else.
Sorry for messing you about.
I sent Mogroose an invite to northern fox country club also. Bundle still not available on PSN, 72 hour reply time if you want to wait a bit. I cracked and gave up waiting.

Just thought I'd say it here, bearcatjosh has 26 hours to play the 9th hole of our game.
Still waiting for the DLC bundle.

Complete silence on the EU blog about the bundle.
Going to wait until they've responded or the blog post goes up next week, whichever is soonest.
I've asked Envisager, one of the EU PS community managers (and fan of the series). He'll be asking around tomorrow.

I have, in the space of 15 minutes, thrown away three games - one of which I really should have won easily. I really shouldn't play when tired... Although I'm still having fun 
Edit: one of which is my play off game against mr E. argh.
Edit2: Eek - you gave me a gap and I blew it! I'm off to bed.
Well played Mr E. you're well on your way to the semi finals.

Ha - That's nothing to the complete mess I made of another game... You played that last hole perfectly though, well done!

What are the latest standings?
P.S. I bought the DLC if anyone wants to play those courses.

I'll send ya an invite for a casual game on one of the new courses!
Edit: results!
Mr E. wins the first play off match in group A, putting him him on top, again.
Group B second place is potentially still up for grabs, depending on the last group match between bearcatjosh and BlindMonkey.
And baxter2231 gets some points on the board!

Final game of Group B between bearcatjosh and BlindMonkey has been completed.
Good game, some really unlucky shots for bearcatjosh after the first 4 holes were a tie.

Have to assume that they didn't intend to release the details now, but to make the bundle available later down the line. On the one hand I want to get the DLC and support the game, on the other I don't want to spend knowing I can save about 30% down the line. Principle. :/
Now that they've screwed up the announcement they may as well just release it.
Well well. That means BlindMonkey and bearcatjosh need to face off with a 3 hole play off for second place in group B!
BlindMonkey, since you won the last game you need to send the invite for three random holes on a course of your choosing. Good luck to you both!

LOL at the EU bundle being delayed. What kind of crap is that? Maybe language/translation support?
Yeah - you got crazy good between our tourney game and casual game... I fear your further development!

I've always had a strange knack for golf games, going back to Mario Golf on NES and HAL's Hole-In-One Golf for SNES (I think I rented HAL's about a dozen times when I was a kid), to Golden Tee in the arcade's and Tiger Woods on consoles.
Unfortunately I have never played Hot Shots until this version so I'm just getting accustomed to the strategy and gameplay. It's surprisingly deep for how wrapped it is in a cutesy anime wrapper.
I'll be on vacation until Tuesday night, I'll have my Vita but won't be sure of wifi access so anyone who has games going with me just be patient. I got a 3G Vita but I'm never paying AT&T for data.
Oh dear Andy, I'll check it out now. I'm not adverse to messing things up either though.
Edit I can see a combiinataion of elevation difference and cross wind made that approach difficult mate. Unlucky there.
I feel terrible Andy, loosing on points is the worst way to go. I'm sure you'll take sweet revenge in the next tourney.
I'll update scores once mr e. comes in with the results... How's the play off match in group b going?
My own fault loosing on points. Should have played for the fairways to keeps points consistent, but spent a hole hacking around in the rough. The points challenges in the single player game were hardest for me
Yes the game does penalise you for the rough and maybe doesn't give enough reward for a good recovery shot.
I'll get on in a few hours to finish up my hole.
Anyone in my friends list who wants to throw out a challenge feel free regardless of tournament.

I've played the first hole, just waiting for bearcatjosh's response.

Just started messing with new characters and courses and need to get some practice in.
Anyone wanna play or wants some practice just add me.....same name as Gaf.
I am decent so it shouldn't be a walkthrough for you

I thought this shot I made today was pretty funny.

Wish they had a better way to upload recorded videos onto youtube. ;P
Congrats!
Man, I know that's the one thing I will never be able to get. I'm too dammed inconsistent. I'll be hitting my marks, then I'll fuck up on a few holes losing my chance to grab whatever. Though I think I have about half of them.

As expected took the last crown at the first attempt after taking forever to finally crown 5-3.

As the round robin games draw to a close (only one left to go!) some more results...
The group A play-offs were nothing short of harrowing. Mr. E came out on top though and I (moogrose) scraped through thanks to what must have been some unlucky rounds for Andylsun.
While Mr E. still has to await the group b play-off between bearcatjosh & BlindMonkey, moogrose is comforted by the fact that he faces the as of yet undefeated Number45... Yay.
Results:
For the semi final games coming up I thought it would be wise to keep a standard ball/club rule to try and keep the playing field somewhat level... as Mr E. has done through out the tourney thus far. Once the group B play-off is done... The winners of each group (Number45 & Mr E.) can invite their respective opponent to a nine hole match on a course of their choosing!
@Number45 - I sent you a friend request... and now i'm scared. terrified.

I've just been using whoever I'm currently building loyalty with, but I'm more than happy to set a character or pick a tier etc. Same for clubs. I've unlocked all of the courses now (haven't bought the DLC yet) so I can make it as hard or easy as you want (all of my other matches were on the first course as that's all I had unlocked).
Shall we set some parameters or shall I just pick whatever? Probably won't get the chance until tomorrow evening now.

I'm happy for you to use whomever... So long as its with standard clubs and balls. Course choice is entirely yours as you won the group round.
Just be gentle with me.
Appreciate the time your putting in Moog to organise all this.
I'm off to the mother in-laws tomorrow for a few days. They have a wonky Internet connection ( Camarthen west Wales, out in the sticks ) but it should be good enough for turn based challenges. Can't get a cell phone signal though lol.
Good luck all.
Edit, noticed I lost the junior status, what is the criteria for that? I haven't been here long.

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
So happy atm... was in a challenge round, getting a little bored and about to turn off the game, but decided one more round since it was a Par 5.
Decent enough tee shot. Considering I'm using starter Yuna girl.
Second shot... *bam* double eagle. It actually hit the hole directly... no bounce or roll on the green at all. Just exploded into the cup with a cool effect.
I almost threw my Vita in excitement.
I've been playing hot shots since they've been making them... and I have never hit a double eagle quite like that before. Feels good man.

I let my daughter finish off my loyalty with Grace and pick my next character unlock. You'll have to excuse me for not being too adventurous with the course because I have no distance or control. 
I only did nine holes as well, wasn't sure if we were supposed to be doing eighteen. Good luck anyway.

3 Hole Playoff between myself and bearcatjosh came to a surprise conclusion just moments ago.
Really thought i'd thrown it all away with a Double Bogey on the second, gg bcj, till we play again.
PS, if anyone wants to play some async games with me, I'll accept a friend request if you leave a message and any challenge you send me

Nine holes is exactly right. I'm looking forward to it, just accepted your invite.
Thanks for the luck, I'll need it
Good luck to you too!
Ha - the tournament substitute is killing it. Well done. Hopefully Mr E. gets a chance to send you the invite for the semi final match soonish.
Edit: scoreboard update in the morning!
