Ah-ha!  So that's the trick.  I don't have any beer in the house!  That last hole killed me.  I had 4 holes-in-one (and I'm terrible at these games).  Hit the last hole & the darn ball kept rolling back to the other side.  I'm not even gonna admit to how many shots it took to finally get the blasted hole finished.  :lol:

Post by: Herumutsu on August 10, 2005, 08:06:03 AM
After getting familiar with the game again and a few training-rounds, I now present you with the new highscore:

(https://www.landzdown.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fborstig.gmxhome.de%2FGebrauchsgrafik%2Fmp1score.gif&hash=9c7a08567fde8754b01be735b10b4945e3e49c5b)


Personally, I found hole 13 to be more of an issue than hole 18 (started over twice because of it)......the latter is mainly a matter of figuring it out. :wink:
Title: Re: Mini-Putt
Post by: Totro on August 10, 2005, 08:30:56 AM
Well, on my very first round I got par - I thought "this is easy peasy" then I got the first 5 holes in 1 in the next game! ... but it all went downhill from there - I ended up with 51 on my second game  :(

But then I had a good run and scored 18 but I couldn't figure how to post the "score sheet" so you will have to take my word  8) 8) 8)

:shock:  (And, shortly after that, a pig flew past my window which proves "pigs can fly" ....................)


So; - so far, Heru is officially the leader of the tournament.

I am making mental notes on each of the holes, aiming to complete a game with only the best individual scores I have managed to obtain for each hole.

While making good progress on some others, I totally messed up hole 8, so my re-obtaining the title will have to wait until after I fixed myself something to eat. 8)

This little game is VERY addictive!!! Now can you tell me why I CAN do all those holes in one but never in the same game???  :(  I always seem to mess up one in a way you would'nt believe with probably a record HIGH !!! My best is 44 to date... but you inspire me not to give up at least on beating my own score... eheh!

Title: Re: Mini-Putt
Post by: Herumutsu on August 14, 2005, 12:21:56 PM
You could make a screenshot right before the strike......that way, you have something for planning future strikes on that field.

I.e. if you hit the ball too far to the left, you can mark the spot on the screenshot where you plan to try the next strike, or even draw a line the ball is supposed to roll along. After getting it right a few times, and getting a good grip on the in-game physics, it'll come naturally. It's more of a starting-help than anything, but it might work for a while.



Best of luck! :)

Let's see who can come closest.  Heru will remain in first place even if someone else gets a perfect score 'cause he was the first.  So the statistics are

1.  Herumutsu, alias HERO -- 18
2.  Cannymum -- 25
3.  Hayc59 -- 27
4.  Easter -- 32
5.  Goatie -- 35 (we'll take you at your word, but next time, need PROOF! :) )

Anyone who can beat the scores above, copy/paste the stats and edit the list as appropriate. (I need another week's vacation so I have time to practice just to get my score below 50.)

Edit note:  Beautiful trophy, Goatie.  Heru definitely deserves it!

One small correction Corrine, i'm still yet to get under 50 but thanks for the nudge in the standings  :lol:

You got that number from Cannymums tally that i posted on her behalf so she could understand how to post her Image. Well, now back to practice, i'll post a new score soon, that is if it isn't any higher than the last one.  :(

4.  Easter -- 32

OK, This one is OFFICIAL. And i am quite proud of it seeing how those notorious funny little triangle courses always ruin my chances for a good outcome.

Got a string of hole-in-ones before this score but those weird curvy courses threw my ball in reverse and made it terrible to recover, so this is my best effort so far.

boosted my ego and made me come up with this:
UPDATED FURTHER DOWN
That made my day!

Couldn't agree with you more about the 17th Goatie. :evil:
I've only tried the game out around a dozen times, but I've also got a couple of irreparable so-called "out of bounds" on the 17th hole.
It happened when I tried to press my shot to the max in some wishful thinking that I'd manage to get around those corners, but instead it seemed like I was going 'round the entire Globe. :lol:
When I then tried to hit the ball from the new position it looked like that poor ball was trembling with cold (it only vibrated but didn't move). :shock:

I've reached 35 and that's not much to brag about in this skilful company, but at least I'm happy o be the recordholder in real life miniature golf at my favorite course in the community. :mrgreen:

Hole 14 is a sure Killer to a good game   :soapboax:

I got 8 & 12 down to a science (hole-in-one) by winding up and let her fly on a stretched straight-line course.

13 is a royal pain in the beehind, i hate that propeller thingy. Gets me every time.

I really could not have improved my performance without her guidance and valuable coaching encouragements. That's made the difference so far and all credit goes to my Dear Mentor, Goatie.

What would i do without you?  This  :tease:  and this  :soapboax: and also this  :uhm: and she most definitely saved me from this  :tech:

This definitely was my PUTTY DAY!!!

Some day.....   I will retire too.... but never before I get the magic number!!!  :Yahoo:

EASTER... the only way to handle the 4th  and 17th (for me...) is playing it in the weirdest wild manner you could ever imagine... by aiming in the opposite direction completely! I feel totally silly when I do it too! Well, I took lessons from Tiger over the week-end!!! :-DDD

GOATIE... You're a true Mini-Putt Pro but I don't expect of you to know all about golf. Annica Sorenstam is a lady with a golfbag (baglady :roll: ) and of course she speaks goat in a perfect manner like all Swedes. :lol:

If you've ever heard about Kermit the frog and all the other characters in an old series of programs called The Muppet Show, then you'll probably also heard about the Swedish Chef. When he throws his swedish meatballs in the air babbling what foreigners believe to be swedish, that's actually ancient goat dialect. :mrgreen:
