Bored? Fun mini-Golf game (1 Viewer)

Thank you. I hadn't even thought of that. I should be able to get a bit closer now. I just shot a 29, and a while back I got a 28, I think that's my best so far.

Wade--I like it. Thinking outside of the box!

You can make #8 without changing the window.

Drop the ball at the right-forward corner. Move your "finger" cursor to the extreme right edge of the screen (to where you can just barely click inside the window) with all but about 1/3 of the cursor above the top "paving stone". Release from there, and the ball will zigzag all the way home.

Jim, I tried your suggestion and got halfway on the second row. There just isn't enough velocity.

Just shot 32 (ties for my lowest score) and took a 5 on 18.

DAMN!

That ruined my otherwise productive day.

31

This is what worked for me on 8. If it doesn't help, maybe the other suggestion is the only way to go.
Number 8

Jim,

You have more stones showing than I do. If I change the window I can achieve the view you have. I first noticed this work around when I was in Netzero. The Netzero ad bar across the bottom of my desktop changed the window just enough for me to almost make it. Changing it a little more allows me to make it every time.

Most of the time there are only three stones or so showing on #8. When I change the window dramatically, I can do it like Jim, or the other way it was suggested.

Oops! Since the screen came up the same on my monitor at work as on my better (and set at higher resolution) monitor at home, I mistakenly guessed that everybody else was seeing the same thing.

Never mind...

 

[ChadM]

Just got down to 30, with 2 3's

Also,

I can't get the screen to move on number 8 so an ace is impossible.

Does anyone have tips to consistently score on 14 and 18?

 

[Randy Tennison]

31 is my lowest. Damned 8 and 18!

If you reduce the size of your browser window (the double square button in the top right), you can get more "stank" on the ball on hole 8, but I've yet to find the right spot.

This stupid game has cause more lost productivity in my office than anything in recent history.

 

[Keith Mickunas]

18 isn't too hard.

Put the ball in the upper left corner. Then set the aiming thingy so that the third dot from the end is almost touching the upper right corner of the block. This will give you the speed you need to fight the hill, and just the right curve to get it in the hole.


With that method I get a hole in one almost every time.

Chad, shorten the height of your window a lot. Then you can use the suggestion from early on in this discussion.
