Yeah, that difficulty ramps up fairly quickly.

My rule of thumb has been that each notch in the 30 foot putter is good for climbing roughly a 0.25 feet rise in elevation. A drop in elevation of 0.25 feet is good for roughly a notch less power. With the 60 foot putter, it's 0.5 feet of elevation per notch, and with the 90 foot putter, it's about 0.75 feet.
I think someone has already mentioned something similar to that already.
It's in the OP.
Ops.... thanks for the hint.
One question:
Crowns
Beginners Rank
1-1: Win with 2000pts or more.
1-2: Hit a Rising Shot and Win.
1-3: One shot the green on a Par 4 and Win.
1-4: Par On Keep/Green in Regulation 100% and Win.
1-5: Hit three or more Bogeys and Win.
Vs. Karen/Cosplay: Get an Eagle and Win.
1-2 means the second course?
I got 2000 points in the first one and got the crown.
Then I just got a star in the second one. I tried to reach 2000 points but I failed (got 1930), so I don't know if getting 2000 points will give me another crown or not

Was ranked 443 out of about 7000+ yesterday.
There are some definitely good players that have to have better equipment than me.

The 2000 points for the crown only applies to 1-1, for 1-2, all you need to do is hit a rising shot.
Every course only gives 1 crown. The requirement of the first course of the beginner series (1-1) is to get 2000 points. The 2nd course of the beginner series (1-2) has an entirely different requirement to get the crown.Ops.... thanks for the hint.

Hope it made sense for you.

I don't think there is, unless you can use Ad-Hoc Party with the local multiplayer mode.

quick question.
how can you find what unlocks a crown for each challenge? and what does the Triangle and Circle shot do? when it says unlocked?? I can just use those buttons now? or do they effect the ball differently?
thanks!
I cruised into the pro category in the challenges and now I am getting stomped.

Either use the guide in the OP or you can complete challenge mode, after which, the conditions will be listed at the bottom of each round.
Triangle and Circle are for fine tuning the power of your shot if you get it wrong. Triangle increases the power of your shot slightly, and circle decreases the power of your shot slightly. You press them when setting the impact.
Thanks mates (you both),
I was going crazy getting the 2000 points in the second hole.
Anyway I was looking for a list and I got my answer. I have to check here or complete alla challenges.
Mmm.. interesting.
So let's say you need to reach the hole that is 30 years far and you load the bar up to 35, you can try to "discharge" your shot pressing O when you hit the ball?
Beat Stuart last night with Yamato and decided to unlock him as my new character. It was beyond time to switch. Plus, he looks rad with black hair.
Aside from the daily tournaments, I think the game really shines in VS mode, wish there was a way to play that against friends.

Well, the correction will only take the bar down by 1%

You know I expected them to include the lobby stuff as that was the late game addition to the PS3 version. Not having private games with invites is a bit disapointing, especially with party chat finally a possibility.

This will be my next purchase for the Vita. Everybody seems to be having so much fun, and the online-tournaments sound awesome. I have never played the previous Hot Shot Golf -games, but I did play this online-golf game called Pangya for probably hundreds of hours some years back. I have never been a fan of golf as a sport, nor as a serious "simulation" ( like the Tiger Woods -franchise ), but as a casual time-waster ( which Pangya was ), it has no equal.

thanks for the answers!
So what exactly does the Control stat do? It's the only one I don't understand.
Control effects how good your character is at hitting the ball where you tell them to. Say the onscreen display says your tee shot will go 260 yards and land smack dab in the middle of the fairway. Your control stat effects how close to that spot your ball will actually land. Good control: it will land right there. Bad Control: could land 5 yards to the left or right of the spot. This is of course not factoring in slope, wind, spin on the ball etc.
It's especially import with short chips. A few yards left to right doesn't make much of a difference on a Tee Shot, but inches make a difference with short chips.
Also with a good control stat, if you mess up impact your ball won't go off course as much.
It also might have an impact on % range of shots but I haven't paid much attention to that to know for sure.
Yea, it's a bit ridiculous with all of the waiting. That's why I would prefer a private game with people I know. The party host could set the rules, shot timers, stuff like that.

Just enter the tournaments with a fast timer - get done with your hole and usually only have to wait 15-20 seconds on average.
There's not enough people online to enter the tournaments you want. you have to enter what everyone else joins, otherwise you'll be playing by yourself. You're lucky if you have a choice of two tournaments with at least 10 people in them.
I mean waiting for the tournament to start. The waiting after each hole. I still don't understand why they set up 40 servers when at the very most 1 or 2 rooms will be full. They did the same thing with the PS3 version months after release and I don't think more than a handful of rooms were ever filled.
Thanks for the awesome explanation. It definately sounds like an important stat.
It's the most important one. The 3 characters I have left to max the loyalty of all have the worst Control stats and oh my god I can't even sink a 10 yard chip with a mega cup.
It will come. I bitched about not getting any chip ins over 20 yards and I've had almost a dozen since then including 5 or 6 over 100 yards. Just keep plugging away.

Same here....I really got no idea what is going on in a golf game ( Bogey, Par ...it all means nothing to me ...facepalm... ), but I used to play Leaderboard Golf on my C64. Sweet memories
A real funny "review" ( well in my opinion, because I really like this guys sense of humour ) and the vid which made wanna own the game is this video General the Destroyer Hots Shots Golf Vita Gameplay HD
I absolutely love this game. It's so addictive. Wipeout 2048 sold me on the system (and I'm a huge Wipeout fan since the very first one) but I'm investing much more time into Everybody's Golf right now.
That said, I'm really bad at it. Like.. really bad. I'm still only competing in the bottom two difficulty brackets so far but the Amateur tournaments are kicking my ass, although (just like real Golf) I find stepping away from it for a short while and going back to it gives me more success, and I learn more about how the game generally works every time I play it.
How does unlocking new clubs and balls work in this game? I only have 3 characters available right now and only beginner ball and club options, but look forward to unlocking more so I can further tweak my character stats etc. Is it a case of grinding or do you have to reach certain levels and tournaments to start unlocking the good stuff?

Bwahaha! After hitting a -5 and NOT putting up a birdie on hole 18, my +1 tie but scoring edge win with a birdie on the last hole helped me get that crown. Wooooo

Is anyone having trouble registering their daily online tournament scores today? It's like I can't connect to the server. =(
I just finished 5th with a -21.
Finally snagged another top 10 finish. I need another 5th place finish to make up for couple of rounds I've tanked.
I just did all 3 of mine fine.

I've done poor on the last 2 days worth of dailys. I seem to rush too much and don't put any thought into my shots as if I'm a god at the game and will birdie/eagle every hole without trying. Ah well you live and learn.
Correction I didn't do Thursdays tournies as I'd just come out of hospital following an op on my kidney. Would that explain the drop of 117 places? I take it it's worth doing them every day if only to keep your rank at a sustained level and maybe improve dependant on scores.

Can someone explain the concept of spin and how you would do them? Do you use the D-pad or the analog stick when trying to do them? Do you use them to control the direction of your shot?
I use spin to control the ball in the air and how it will react on the ground. I exclusively use the dpad.
Think of two stages of adding spin to the ball during your shot:
1) when you're setting the power
2) when you're setting the accuracy
Holding down during both means your club hits lower in the ball. This causes the ball to travel higher and a tab bit shorter. When it hits the ground, it won't roll as much as a normal hit.
Top spin means holding up during both phases. This makes the ball fly lower in the air... But when the ball hits the ground, it will roll father (as the ball is rotating forward).
Side spin is used by holding left or right. This influences the flight of the call, as it will do a side curve in the air.
To maximize the spin, you do the opposite during the first phase then the spin you want during the second. Say you want a lot of backspin - during the first phase, you hold up... And the second phase hold down. This is super backspin and the ball with have more backwards rotation than normal backspin. Same for top spin and side spin.

So, basically, you have to hold down the direction for the spin you want during the entire swing meter mechanic?
And the spin and sidespin stats effect the effectiveness of your ability to make those hits?

Are these 18 hole tournaments your entering? Just wondering as I've just been doing 9 holers and they take around 25 mins from my experience. Say I enter a game at 9:15. I'm done for 9:40 so I can quickly book the 9:45 one.
