Dang, thanks for the reply.
I'm in europe btw. Could be different to other regions.
Dang, thanks for the reply.
.- how exactly am I supposed to "give the ball more/less lift"??
Hole 1 in the Alpine course, for example, my 1W supposedly should be able to reach the green on my first shot but the green is way too high, above normal altitude (the arrow in red in the middle and up the screen tells me) to reach with standard shots. I thought keeping the D-pad pressed down as I get PI would make me hit the ball below its center, thus giving it the lift it's asking for, but nothing happens.. and I always miss. how can I influence lift??
I assume level 15 is the highest you can go? Keep bouncing between 14-15.
Hit it further than you expect is the best solution if possible. A good rule of thumb is to allow an extra yard for each yard up (and conversely remove a yard for each yard down). So for a shot to the hole which is 150yds away and 10yds up then try hitting the ball 160yds. If it's 150yds away and 10yds down then try hitting the ball 140yds.
Backspin may help you carry further if there is a good wind behind you, topspin may help you go further on landing - but it depends on the landing conditions. So it's better to adjust your power for big elevation difference.
I suspected as much but... why wouldn't the game tell it as it is?
since when is "give the ball more lift" the same as "hit the ball harder"? pretty confusing.
I thought the game wanted me to literally lift the ball more, like make it go more vertically instead of straight forward.
so what am i not doing here...i am in the special rank or whatever its called past 6 and the vs box just has a question mark in it...and noone has appeared for 3 days.
when do they start showing up?
also in the encyclopedia im missing #6 and #11...who are they and or how do i find them?

They have been showing up once per day for me.
Side note: Man going to all 14 open courses for the gems takes FOREVER. Not spend money on tickets forever, more like I'm going to give up on custom clubs at some point forever.
I'm missing #6 too. #11 is "Sayuri - A member of the Golf Island staff who supervises fishing." My friend plays the fishing part of the game, so I'm not sure which fishing spot he found her.

"For now, there is a pattern to what holes get the gems/coins/items on the open courses. All you need to do is go to Eagle OUT and find it there. Once you know that you can figure out where it will be on each other course. With this you should get enough gems for a full set of custom clubs in 4 days just from the free ones not even including any you get from playing tournaments. The reason is there are 2 gems icons on each hole that has items and there is a chance the the icon will give 2 gems
If you just add 10 holes to where it is on the Eagle OUT that is where it will be on the IN. If you add 2 holes that is where it will be on the next (Alpine) OUT. You then add 10 to that OUT to get the Alpine in.
For example today on Eagle OUT the items are on hole 6. That means on Eagle IN they are on hole 16. (6+10)
For Alpine OUT you the add 2 to hole 6 and the items are on hole 8. Add 10 to the 8 to get 18 for the Alpine IN.
For the Beach OUT you add 2 to the 8 from Alpine and get 1. OK this I will explain. If you add 2 to 8 you obviously get 10 but since there is only 9 holes on OUT it rolls over to 1. Add 10 to Beach OUT and the items are on hole 11 for Beach IN.
Going from there the items on the rest are Vortex OUT - 3 Vortex IN- 13
Imperial OUT - 5 Imperial IN - 15
Green OUT -7 Green IN - 17
I don't have Balata yet to verify but I would get they are on Balata OUT - 9 Balata IN - 10 (9+10 is 19 but again rolls over to 10 since 18 is max hole)"
Which hole to look for items is actually predictable, which makes it a lot easier for me when I feel like doing it:

I tried playing online on an Open Course and it was laggy as fuck. Is it like that for everyone?
So where the hell do you get gems from? And these clubs can "break" so you have to build them again? It's really starting to be more and more like a pay to win game at this point if that is all true.
Update 1.06 just started downloading. I hope they fixed the frame rate issues in open courses. It's 538 MB.
It's not bad at all and I strongly disagree with all the P2W talk. It's a little bit of a grind sure, but I can get the gems from all 14 open course 9's in less than an hour. If you do them once a day you'll have more than enough gems to outpace the wear and tear and won't ever have to spend any actual money. You also get them from the Rank 7 tourneys so you'll have a nice stash of them by the time you're done with the gallery collection.
Also, you can have 2 sets of custom clubs at any given time. You can upgrade them however you want, but full distance is obviously the way to go. It might take awhile playing with the Big Air clubs before you can upgrade both sets fully, but by then you should never have to worry about wearing out a set before you have enough gems to fully refresh them again.
Here's how to get them:
Go to course 1 (out) in the online open mode and search around. I like to use the overhead view and keep an eye out for a bunch of people running around (you can also sometimes see the coins from the air). After you find the hole that the coins/medals/gems/etc are on, just cruise around that hole and collect them. There will be 2 separate gems (each will randomly give you x1 or x2 gems), 2 medals, a prize box, 1-3 assorted balls, and a bunch of coins. After you find an item, the top center of the screen will display a flag with the hole number on it and "found" written next to it. When you have found everything that will switch to "ALL". I personally only search for the gems because I have over 80k coins and don't really use them for anything other than shuffling tourney mode participants and fishing.
So once you're done with course 1 (out), head back to the home area and then go to course 1 (in). Take whatever hole you just found them on and add 10 to it, and that will be where they are on the back 9. When you're done there, go to course 2 (out), and add 2 to the course 1 (out) item hole. Lather/rinse/repeat all the way through the rest of the courses.
Below is an example chart.
Course 1
Out - hole 2 / In - hole 12
Course 2
Out - hole 4 / In - hole 14
Course 3
Out - hole 6 / In - hole 16
Course 4
Out - hole 8 / In - hole 18
Course 5
Out - hole 1 / In - hole 11
Course 6
Out - hole 3 / In - hole 13
Course 7
Out - hole 5 / In - hole 15
Notice there on course 5 how it switches back to hole 1... this is because you would add 2 to 8 and get 10, but since there isn't a hole 10 on the front 9 it starts over and becomes hole 1. The same type of thing happens when you start off on the front 9 of course 1 with an odd number, which would look like this:
Course 1
Out - hole 5 / In - hole 15
Course 2
Out - hole 7 / In - hole 17
Course 3
Out - hole 9 / In - hole 10
Course 4
Out - hole 2 / In - hole 12
Course 5
Out - hole 4 / In - hole 14
Course 6
Out - hole 6 / In - hole 16
Course 7
Out - hole 8 / In - hole 18
Adding 2 to 17 gives you 19, so it carries back over and becomes 10. And adding 2 to 9 gives you 11, which turns back around into 2.
Hope this helps, and happy huntin!

Does it bother anyone else that the game doesn't tell you how you did fairway hits and par pace wise for your round anymore. It just tells you how that round impacted your average.
Seems like a weird strange. I was wondering why my percentages were always a couple tenths off the average.
Haven't played yet myself but people say the online open course lag is fixed. I'm really happy if so!
I just read that balls don't get used up if you do a one hole round.
Guess I'm using one of my triple precision balls next Condor hunt!
interesting...where did you find the triple pre ball...i dont have one yet.
havent played on the new update yet...did they patch the funny round circle of long grass around the holes yet?
Just played my first special rank revenge vs character. It went to 13 holes and she holed out 5 holes for eagle and I don't mean little chip shots, and had a hole in one. Really stupid AI but I won since it was tornado cup.
Got no gems, then played a 9 hole tourney and shot a -12 to win by 1 stroke. Only got 2 gems for that.
How many gems do you need to make a custom set of clubs?
The way this is going I'm not liking it so far...
Got the fishing trophy.
Some of those fish were a pain in the ass.
110.
Collect them from the open courses. You can get 30 a day that way. Maybe more if you have the dlc courses.
110 for the upgrades but you first need 50 to buy a set.
wow you must be one of the very few in the world right now
do tell... for a complete list of fishes, online is required, right? I am reading some fishes are
only attainable in the online courses.
Yes you are correct. You need to go to the online courses to get them all
Fishing level maxes out at 30 Add 20 for renting the most expensive rod and you get a combine level of 50. You are going to need that for the harder fish.
You can collect like 80% of the fish right away after you beat the fisherman in match play and he teaches you how to fish.
You can go into the fish list for each fishing area and it will tell you what fish are available in it. Use that to track what you still need to catch. The lines that are just ??? are super rare fish and you can only get those after you've beat the fisherman in match play a second time and he gives you better bait you can buy.
Make sure to check all 3 fishing areas in each course and slowly work your way through and build up your fishing level. Once you've caught everything but the ??? fish, you'll have to wait until they unlock, but you should probably do a bit of grinding to max you level before you get there. I just did one level a day.
