Is there really any difference between playing with goons and pubbies? Is there any sort of text chat or communication?

Pubbies abandon the game the moment they miss a birdie/eagle putt.

I play the game constantly but....
drat man... I don't know how people get -24 on the world tournaments.

I can barely get -11.

These people are impressive.

But then again my gear is a mix of control and distance so I usually only average about 250 with fade. But if I do straight distance I drat sure miss the sweet spot too often.

Feh.

Had one of my better World Tournaments: Got -14 on World Tournament 6 which isn't too bad.

At least I'm not alone man. I keep feeling like I'm doing something wrong against these people.

I'm no Mario Golf god but I think its mostly about exploiting power shots. As long as you keep getting nice shots you'll never run out, and can get on the green more quickly and score those sweet par 4 eagles and par 5 albatrosses.

Wait, do you get extra power shots whenever you pull off a nice shot? Did not know that.

Fruit is proof that the gods exist and love us.

Just kidding!

Life is meaningless
When you A. press A exactly where you put your power bar and B. Press A again right in the middle of your impact bar, you do not consume a power charge. This means that you always want to put your power bar exactly where you want the ball to go, so you can get power charges.

I'm too paranoid of being stuck on a par 5 at the end with no power shots left, so I only use them on par 5s. :shobon:

They're worth using on par 4 drives if you can reach approach range where you'll have a reasonable chance of a chip in.

Just want to remind everyone that the Goon Golfer's Association League is still totally going on in PGS and if anyone other than the 8ish of us that keep placing in the tourneys is still playing this game, come join us!

After much golfing and coin grinding, I am finally approaching the high-end clubs as I just unlocked a 17y Fade club. I shall have that Bowser Club soon.

The new major is running until October 2nd, by the way, if anyone qualified. Gotta fill up that trophy case.

Yes. I qualified for it a couple of months back.

And I agree with the above poster: Those greens are infuriating.
