Or you could do what I did: go into your browser cache, save a copy of the “miniputt.swf” file somewhere else, and play again and again with the Quicktime player (which can play Flash files). You can just drag the slider to the hole you want to play. Then again, I’m on a Mac, so I dunno if this will work on Windows… ---

**Max** - even on Windows, you can keep playing MiniPutt offline as long as you leave your browser window open that has MiniPutt in it. **Frank** - I went from a front corner towards the _further_ grey thing, and found a spot that worked. And as a result, was finally able to score an 18 for the course! (Twice, actually. Had to go do it again, just to show myself it was no fluke. :)) On the windmill hole: shooting from the right front corner, I put the furthest dot on a precise spot where the ball’s aimed for the left tunnel so it bounces twice in the tunnel, so that it comes out heading for the left rear corner of the green. It bounces back out of the corner, off the front edge of the lower surface, and into the hole. Nothin’ but net. 😉 ---

How do you do holes 10 and 11? I a little closer on 10 but I don’t see how to get it on 11. ---

Eight-friggin-teen! WHOOO HOOOO! How to do the dreaded hole 14 Place ball on upper left corner. Place farthest dot on the 6th row of triangles between triangles 7 and 8 Putt ---

I guess you must’ve figured out how to do 10 and 11, then. 🙂 I don’t see what’s so hard about figuring out 14. All you have to do is mess around until you get the angle and the power right, and with all those triangles, it’s pretty easy to make fine gradations. ---

17 is the one I’m having trouble with. Someone help me please! ---

#17 - I put the ball in the lower left hand corner, then place the ‘putter head’ along the top of the rail of the #18 hole, to the left of the sign. You’ll have to fine tune from there… ---

Actually, that should have read “put the ball in the lower RIGHT hand corner” :smack: ---

17: Drop in bottom right corner. Put the dot closest to the ball on the outside left corner of the course. It has to be pretty much exactly on the corner or else you won’t get the right bounce at the end. What happens is that the ball rattles around like crazy and then eventually makes it into the hole. ---

17 I drop the ball in the upper right. Using IE I place the putter head all the way at the top of the screen so the shaft of the putter would be right in front of the http. Then swing away. I few times I have had the ball end up right next to the hole. After tapping in the game gives me a hole in one anyway!?!? ---

I’ve been playing at a different site ([http://www.fhmus.com](http://www.fhmus.com)), but it looks like the same game. My top score is 28. ---

Gee, So I take my 18 (in my office we do a print screen and post our score) and I take it around and they seem to hate me. Maybe it’s because I already had the best score by 5 strokes. Maybe it’s becasue I threw it on their desks and said EAT THAT and did a lewd dance. I don’t know. ---

1. It took me retarded long to get hole 8. This is much harder to hide than a chat window if your boss walks in behind you… ---

I’m sure their jealousy stems from the fact that they are shallow and egotistical. It doesn’t have anything to do with you gloating in their face. 😉 ---

#17: ball in upper right corner. Second-closest dot peeking out from underneath upper right corner of third step. ---
