Focus on one rule
Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Use the example to check your reasoning.
Your goal
Sink all three holes within twelve strokes per hole. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
Step by step
- Aim a stopped ball.
- Set power and putt.
- Wait until it stops before another shot.
- Use Next hole after sinking.
Controls
Touch aim, angle/power sliders and Putt. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
A useful example
A soft final putt can sink where a fast crossing would not. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Verify the rule before continuing.
Watch out for this
The hole accepts only a sufficiently slow ball. Compare the situation with the worked example. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
