Not necessarily.

had a bit more power available. Should have gone full power and make sure....long was ok! :)
The scores may be unrealistic, or even a joke but heyho, that's what we got.

Play well and enjoy your game everyone! :drinks:

btw, not a game for snowflakes.

You only have to check individual rounds for high scorers on the leaderboard to see that there are many those who have reached all holes. As affo has said if you havd given full power on the shot you took in the video you posted you would have passed the hole.

Both shots were off a fairway, not a tee, so that shot is impossible. 284 yards in to a 7 mph wind, with 15 feet (5 yards +) of elevation cannot be reached.

If someone did it, please show me how. The club will not go that long off a fairway even if you crank it to the end of the meter, and put full loft.
I forgot it's name but there was a ball that could be purchased through Perfect Parallel that allowed more accuracy but less distance. To hit any of these holes that were far away required an over-swing with the "shot shaper" set to elevate the ball flight. Was not an easy shot on two of the long holes - but there are reachable. I did not hit the greens on several rounds but the ball went far enough to have hit the green "IF" I had a perfect Snap. I never have had a perfect snap because I do not use a mouse or controller (precision enhancer).

You're not paying attention Crusher. My first post said 284 off a fairway in to a 7 mph wind, plus 15 feet of elevation, is unreachable. And I stand behind it. I could crank a driver all the way to the end of the meter and not reach it with a perfect snap. I challenge anyone to show me they can do it. Don't go by the fact that a few people made that green so far away from the pin they got 50 pts. They had to have had the wind behind them. This entire game is random, so it is possible some people got lucky and had the wind at their back. Not every one does.

My SECOND post was regarding Mark's comment that accuracy was key. That's all. It had nothing to do with the 1st round when that hole was 284 yards off a fairway. It was just to point out that I hit the accuracy on the button and still didn't get there. Period.
