what's the loving deal with this stupid makeshift golf course rear end in a top hat in oak manor?? why is this so god damned hard???

i swear i am golfing this as perfectly as i can and always coming in one stroke short, this sucks rear end

Few things I took away from doing those courses:

* These courses are pretty bullshit
* As much as possible, go for aggressive, long distance chip-ins. Try to hit the base of the flagpoles whenever possible to immediately arrest the ball's momentum, if not sink it outright. With a modest drive stat you can do some of the holes in one/two strokes.
* Since the holes are overall not very long distance-wise, aim for rough/bunkers if you're worried about hazards/positioning for future shots. In fact, since you don't get penalties IIRC, you can just hit into water and let the ball position reset to the closest landmass.
* Don't forget about shaping your shots, it might help to follow the curve of certain holes as well as avoid obstacles
* If you know you're gonna approach the hole during your shot and are worried about bouncing right past it, apply backspin and give the ball lots of loft.
* You can make some shots a little out of your reach if you exploit wind. I like Dynamo woods/digging wedge for this reason.

I think my game is borked? I'm at the spooky course where I've unlocked the first gate, but sinking a ball into the big hole does nothing. I think I may have broken it because I had already sunk a ball in there earlier, before I had even gotten a key to the first gate. So now I don't know what to do.

Did you do it off of the tee?
