Something to practise

Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Notice the feedback after each input.

What you are aiming for

Sink all three holes within twelve strokes per hole. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Check the rules when you are unsure.

The order of play

  1. Aim a stopped ball.
  2. Set power and putt.
  3. Wait until it stops before another shot.
  4. Use Next hole after sinking.

Getting comfortable with the controls

Touch aim, angle/power sliders and Putt. Use the control method described here for this activity. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.

A useful example

A soft final putt can sink where a fast crossing would not. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Notice the change in the playing area.

Keep this in mind

The hole accepts only a sufficiently slow ball. Check the rule before repeating the action. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
