Oh wow, got a "Present from daydream".

It was a World Flag Combo 5.

So guys, play as your Mii with your World Flag set on to spread them around. :)

Yeah, got quite a few of those already (just now one by Xia). Another good reason to play with your Mii!

Underwater course was really awesome (and really tricky at spots).

I like it because creative shotmaking is rewarded. Had to get around those pipes and fight the wind in the last course, did a low fade with super topspin on the second shot.

Being able to ride the wind to land softly with backspin also helped me land in nice flat spots on the greens for pretty easy putts, even if they were 25+ feet out.

Mine was to smack the ball because fuck that yellow pipe.
I didn't even realise what was happening, so it blew me to OB several times!
HATES IT.

I got hit by it twice early on. My first time playing the course, wasn't sure if they were decoration or actual hazards. Should've known better, lol.

Was happy I was able to come back from 2 shots back towards the end. Should've won by at least 2 strokes, stupid short putts...the greens seem slower than when it's rainy on the outdoor courses, I thought I had made enough of an adjustment lol.

It did feels slower, and I'm not good at medium/long putt.

This may be, dare I say it, my favourite Mario sports title to date. It's certainly on par with the original Golf, but features like customisation, multiplayer options, Castle Club might help surpass it. Never played Sluggers, though, which some people really like.

Well, my strategy was to bounce, bounce and pray x)
There is one shot where the ball refused to stop :lol

Happened to me, too. I wonder if it was on the same spot (think it was on a Green).

Working on unlocking some star characters for now, and I'm so close of getting Bowser's Course.
But how do you unlock Toad/Kamek and the others 2?

Toad - 40 challenge stars (when unlocked, comes with Star unlocked too)
Kamek - 45 (same as Toad)

Then Para at 50, Birdo at 55.

What I'm wondering is how to unlock Star Diddy Kong? He is the only player that I don't have a challenge match with.
 
So, some of you might be wondering how to get the costume that requires 3 Albatrosses quickly and efficiently. Simple:

1) Unlock DK Jungle
2) Go into Stroke Play and choose Star Mario
3) Check on Hole 1 to see if the pin location is on the right side of the green. That's the one you want. If not, Start Over.
4) Once you have the right location, hit it into the barrel. I always use a Power Shot and hit the ball from the bottom, with super topspin. You need to hit the ball perfectly straight though.
5) You have a perfectly straight putt from there so just figure out the right power.

The costume's pretty nostalgic and awesome. :3
 
Damn you Bowser! He birdied on the 18th hole twice in a row to just beat me on the Forest Course Championship.

Loving this game so far. Should I pick up the season pass?

Love this game more than I thought I would, especially since I'm not really a golf fan. Painfully terrible on Cheep Cheep Lagoon!

OK guys

I said eff it and bought it.

Im gonna learn how to play a bit then I want to try my hand in a tournament. Do I need to do anything special like add friend codes? Or is it pretty easy to connect to games?

Where are peoples times for the speed GAF tournament ?
I think when I checked the top times were 3:11 or so... and I thought I was really rushing for 3:40 too >_<

Oh and you can check... it's in the tournament menu, click on scores I think on the bottom left.

edit: doesn't look like anyone's playing in neogaf community right now but I'll keep checking the thread, post here if you want to play~

You only really need the Community code and you're good to go. When you want to play multi with others, just sit in the lobby there.

Tried the demo. Totally left me with a good impression.
I still feel that Mario Golf should be more console based though.

Blew like 3 putts on the early bird and probably a shot at top 15 or 20. Finished at 16 under.

Twice I decided I hit it too far, then hit B to compensate...oh wait I just finished my shot with A...Super topspin and there goes a birdie chance. At least I made a 48 foot putt to make up for one of the bad spins.

Love how they use the items in the challenges.

I also unlocked Luigi's costume earlier. You have to
get 50 scorecards on Forest course
, iirc.

Just got this game this morning on a whim, my first Mario Golf game ever. Pretty fun so far! I've taken a shot at the Early Bird Tournament but I suck. Going to try and improve my score. Got my first hole-in-one though!
