That's really rare to do a hole in one in this game, but it's possible. I actually did one earlier this week. Instead of saying hole in one, it says eagle.

That makes sense because on a par 3 it would be an eagle. it must be really hard because alot of my pitch shots or when i put onto the green end up halfway on the hole and i wonder how it didnt go in.
Congrats on the hole in 1 too which hole was it on??

That is impressive just after writing that last post i hit a shot on hole 3 with a 3 wood and i had just the right wind and it landed half on the hole i almost jumped in the air because i thought i actually was about to hit 1 and no luck, i mean if i blew on the nintendo the ball might have fell in it was so far onto the black part of the hole

That's basically what happened to me. The ball literally looked like it landed right on the black dot and when it switched to the putting view it seemed to be sitting right on top of the hole. I'm pretty happy with my -3 score so I'm not sure if I'm going to give it another go or not. I got insanely lucky on that entire round that I didn't hit a single ball out of bounds and I only got double digit winds on one hole. I was actually -8 after the 12th hole, but then I started playing not to lose and got one par and all bogeys the rest of the way. I just wanted to finally finish an entire round under par for the first time ever. As far as my personal NES accomplishments go, finishing a round of black box Golf under par has to rank right up there with playing an entire game of Mike Tyson's Punch Out while winning every fight in the first round.

Agreed 100% Doug. i had a -3 going into i think the 13th hole and then had a meltdown i am hoping to shoot under par for the first time myself before sunday. i have never posted in the game contest and i missed the kung fu round last week if i break par i think it would rank up there with the first time i beat tyson.

It's Saturday and so far we only have two scores posted? Hopefully some other people are planning on playing this week.

I'm surprised the lack of participation so far. Last time we held a golf contest on NA, it was a very active one.

I thought about giving it another try, but I'm happy with my score. Since baseball season started I've had the TV tied up watching the games, but I guess I could always drag my small CRT out of the closet and multitask.

I just finished playing another round and I ended up with the exact same -3 score that I've already posted. I might give it another go later, but with -5 being the current high score I doubt I'm going to be able to top that by tonight.

Edited: -12???? That score sucks ass, see post below.


Best game so far in the week. I totally wasted a super game as well Yesterday. I think I was at -11 by hole 13, but blew it away on hole 16 and 18.

I had a great start on this one. I eagled hole 1 and had a great front 9. A bunch of favorable winds for the back 9 too.

May I join you gentlemen in the -14 club

I performed a very cocky 2nd shot on 18th hole with 1wd and 15 Southeast wind, my ball stopped just left to the green, perfectly aligned with the cup. Putt outside the green for eagle!!!

Ok, the leaderboard is now completely up to date. Apparently I never updated it last week. Way for me to be lazy
