Shooting in the 50's is a nice feat in this game.
Thanks!

I got a little lucky in this round.  Chipped in for a couple of birdies.

I also somehow eagled the par-4 10th hole.  Thanks to a strong tailwind, I got on the green in 1.  I then drained this S-curved putt on some really strong arrows!

I feel bad because I spent so much time playing GTA V this week. I will definitely be putting up a score for Solomon's Key though. Love puzzle games.

+34    I had so little free time this week, it wasn't even funny. This is my only attempt this week sadly. EDIT: I have no idea what happened with the images, but I'm not going to mess with them until after the contest closes, just in case.

Only got started with this today because I have been moving and so sad that I kinda missed out. This is a great game, pretty similar to Golf but better. The putting is actually not too bad, which often makes or breaks a golf game (pardon the pun).

On this round I was -2 for most of it but then I got a triple bogey and my game fell apart. I know I could shoot even if I wasn't rushing myself. Good luck everyone!

Just a note to everyone that I have started the next contest, Solomon's Key, early because I will not be home at 10 PM when I normally post the new contests. NES Open Golf will not end early because of the new contest being posted and will still end at 10 PM NA time tonight. If you're tired of playing golf, give Solomon's Key a try

Score: 67 (-5)

I actually ended up getting this on my second playthrough, but every time I played afterwards the game gave me the worst wind combos and I just started making a lot of stupid mistakes.

All I can say is I suck. I only played through once and that was now.

NES OPEN TOURNAMENT GOLF RESULTS

1st: 58 (-14) – rdrunner +11 points
2nd: 64 (-8) – guillavoie +10 points
3rd: 66 (-6) – etrainstyles +9 points
4th: 67 (-5) – CLAYB1RD +8 points
5th: 68 (-4) – hitmantommy +7 points
6th: 70 (-2) – gutsman004 +6 points
7th: 71 (-1) – Thundercat08 +5 points
8th: 73 (+1) – smick +4 points
T-9th: 74 (+2) – mattyjmania +3 points
T-9th: 74 (+2) – EgasKrad +3 points

PARTICIPATION

77 (+5) – Krunch +1 point
78 (+6) – Caleb47 +1 point
80 (+8) – treismac +1 point
87 (+15) – quiet451 +1 point
88 (+16) – sunsetflip84 +1 point
93 (+21) – Mattiekrome +1 point
106 (+34) – EoTN +1 point
112 (+40) – BenPlusPlus +1 point
127 (+55) – dev(2) +1 point
127 (+55) – Megamanfan +1 point

Since there was a tie for 9th place, I took the available points for both 9th and 10th place (3 and 2 points, respectively), added them together, and divided by 2. Since dividing 5 by 2 gives you 2.5 points and I don't put half points on the leaderboard, both mattyjmania and EgasKrad will have their points rounded up to 3.
