Holy crap, that’s fun! And I don’t like golf either. I got 43 on my first try. Hole 17 screwed me up—2 over par. But I got a hole-in-one on the 9th and the 18th. ( **W.A.Duck** —:p) ---

I saw somone get a 19 on it once. He memorized the exact mouse position for a hole in one on each hole, but made one mistake. ---

Damn you, **beagledave**. Damn you to hell. Better start cranking out those excuses. I scored a 75 (10 were on the last hole!) I cannot accept this. Must…play…again… ---

I was doing just _fine_ until the 15 strokes on holes 17 & 18, then I finished with a 53. ☹ ---

I got a hole-in-one on my first try on Hole 1. I got lucky, of course, but it’s a good start. This is cool. ---

I got a 52. ☹ And that’s including 4 holes-in-one. 5 on the 17th hole and 9 on the 18th. I really don’t understand that 18th hole. It’s supposed to be on a hill? The graphics are unhelpful and the physics doesn’t seem to make sense. Oh well, I guess I’ll go play it several more times.
