If you want to kiss another work day goodbye, check this out. [https://dc101.iheart.com/miniputt.swf](https://dc101.iheart.com/miniputt.swf) My first round I shot a 48, and hope to improve dramatically in the near future. ---

I just topped my best with a 41. ---

Oh my. I started with a respectable 51. I figure by 5:00 I’ll be a pro. ---

Man. I got 45, but I had 7 over on hole 14!!! 5 hole-in-ones, and one 7 over par. Grrrr! I haven’t quite gotten a grasp of how the hills work. ---

I see this is making the rounds again. My best so far is a 24, but then again I played it the last time about 6-8 months ago. If you search the boards you can find how to play all the holes. ---

The stupid windmill and the last hole get me every time! I did end up managing a very good score of 41, with most holes being made in two shots, with two holes-in-one. Very addictive game indeed. -Dirty ---

Best I’ve ever gotten (after playing for a week) was a 25, without any cheating. A friend scored a 19(!), which required some amount of luck, in addition to changing the screen size to get holes-in-one on #8 and #17. ---

[Link](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=113226); [link](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=110105). Hills are wonky. 12 is very irritating. I’ve figured a way to get a 2 consistently though. 14 isn’t so hard, just takes the right angle (slightly off of straight) to get hole-in-one every time. I’ve given up on trying to conquer the windmill, I’m working on the angle for a hole-in-one through the side tunnels now. That way you’re assured of at worst a 2 every time. 4 is also surprisingly hard. 17 is by far my least favorite. I can’t even think of any way to get better than a 3 there. It sure does suck up a lot of hours. ---

Again? Wow. I remember this. I think I even started a thread on it. My best (after A LOT of practice) is a 22. 14 Holes-in-One, and 4 in two.
