Bowser Jr always makes me chuckle. The voices are hilarious!
Yeah, saw that in another thread. Thanks though.

In my first handicap tournament I was -21...
Oh, we were talking with handicap. I posted. -15 scratch in the GAF tourney. I know it's not winning I'm sure, but I thought someone posted a crazy -23 with no handicap.
He did. Check the leaderboard for the Gaf tourney, he's in first place.
I gotta try and improve tomorrow. I'm really close to cracking the top 3.

Since everyone else is doing it...
Oh wait, it was supposed to me my Mii there. I can't do anything right!
Online tournies are scratch. So are community matches.

I got a $5 off any purchase coupon from Best Buy in my email so I think I'm going to use it (hopefully) tomorrow to buy this. I feel like I'm missing out on so much with these online tournaments.
I said a few months ago this was going to be the game that came out of nowhere to be really awesome and I guess I was right. I am a fucking dunce for fooling around and cancelling my Amazon preorder.

Oh. Now I see how to check it. Disheartening. I need more power. If I had the round of my life, I could maybe get to 20 under as of now. 23 seems insane.
This game is more frustrating than Dark Souls. I fuck up the last 5 holes in the Forest Tournament and I'm at like -2 from -5 and Fucking Donkey Kong just gets -7 out of no where and here I am on hole 15 getting ready to start this over for the 5th time. I'm about to break my 3DS in half.
Yep. I may be getting frustrated but I'm coming back to it because its so good. Finally hitting these Birdies and thats so satisfying.
That one is tough. Best I can do is -11 after about ten tries. Not sure if I need to use the items differently or what. :/

Add your FCs, guys.
I decided to start from scratch here for a few reasons:
1) I'm lazy. Might as well be honest.
2) Like all of the FCs I had on the list were from before the game launched and I don't feel like checking who actually got the game, though I know of a few who do have the game ATM. I don't like having FCs of people who don't actually have the game, see.
3) I would need to gather people's MG:WT names for the list to actually be useful, since I want it to also be used as, "Hey, I played against you in the community and I think your Mii is hot, want to add each other?" and stuff. So I might as well just have everybody add themselves.
Sorry for the inconvenience. And no, I'm not too worried about trolls ATM.

I did add it to the very top already
It's in a little tab now because it's much more of a reference thing IMO than a way of playing with people.

Is there any benefit to adding FCs or can you do multi through the community and/or tournaments? I'm not sure I'm up for the task of clearing out my friends list of all the Animal Crossing people I have added.

The main benefit to adding someone's FC is being able to track their tournament progress. So, I would only add people who you genuinely are interested in tracking.

do it through community. Lot easier!
Thank you.

Made a different type of tournament for us, too. While EarlyBird is an 18-hole stroke contest, "NeoGAF Rush" is a 6-hole speed challenge in Peach Gardens. Should be a very quick one to play through! Details in the spreadsheet as always, but the code to dive right in is 69-2735-2753-2957

Not sure if I'm more excited for earning coins for challenges, playing in online tournaments, or collecting fucking outfits.
Animal Crossing has ruined me forever. I've been grinding coins in MK7 all this week waiting for Golf

Man, how the hell are you guys so good already? I'm almost enberassed to even enter the tournament...

Don't worry about it, just have fun.
Many people have played through the entire series, plus the HSG games, and there's a lot of knowledge and skills you can bring across.
You'll get better the more you play, honestly, so don't be scared to enter any tournaments. Our first one has players of all skill levels represented.
Cool one! I do feel it's a bit a button masher though, there is no real need to correct trajectories until putting. The distance you may gain with boosts pad is negated by the time you take to adjust your shot.

I honestly see myself playing this more than Mario Kart 8. So much content and a great online tournament system. 200+ damn holes if you buy the DLC. I-N-S-A-N-E.

Yeah, it's an odd mode. I honestly wasn't expecting it to count time while lining up shots. I thought it might just count ball travel time, in which case you could bring some actual strategy to it.
Great, going to enter after lunch
You make me feel like I needn't bother playing this game.Blah. Totally botched my hottest start yet... lipped eagles on 10 and 12, then parred 14. Could have been -27.
:/
Yeah they are fun and addicting to get. Got about 22 in last couple hours.
First time playing Mario golf and I'm jumping in trying to understand how to play on manual - it seems to be any kind of competitive in tournaments you need to do manual shots. Only problem is I'm screwing up badly everytime I try it.
So, I need some tips / video guides. Just watched the video in the OP and it looks like you pretty much have to use a stylus...?

So whilst buying this it says my free code for Mario Golf GBC is displayed after purchase and in my receipt. But I can't see it?
Haha. Golf is fun no matter what other people are doing though.
No. I don't use the touchscreen for anything other than adjusting the camera height. Just use the analog to set your trajectory during the swing (up for into the wind or keeping the ballflight down, down to get over obstacles or bring the ball in softer on the greens). On impact, hit AA for topspin / AB for super topspin, or BB for backspin / BA for super backspin.
Keep practicing and it will start to click. Just pay extra attention to the white line that shows the ball flight, then factor in uphill/downhill and the wind. Also make sure to watch your lie meter and factor in the +/- that it gives you for that.

So it seems if you use a download code to get the World Tour through the eShop then you don't get Mario Golf GBC even though the checkout process.
Pretty stinky policy, and they really should provide a separate check out for download codes if that's the case.

Have you checked your Club Nintendo page? Bonus codes often appear in banners there.
