easier birdie on hole 18

[thekatie0409]

first, you take the first shot, angling off the left wall and getting the ball into the back hole. then, instead of trying to get around the pool of water, you aim at the right full strength. the arrow should be about half on the wall and the underside of the left side of the arrow should be just touching the wall. this angle has to be almost perfect, but if it is the ball should fly over the wall and land near the hole the ball would have come out if you had done it the traditional way. the last shot is down and angle towards the right. the arrow should be just under the strength meter, which is full. if you don't get a birdie with this shot the ball should be near the hole and it's and easy par.
i guess this is another secret tunnel thing. before, though, i could barely get par on this hole because of the pesky water pool. now i can get birdie almost every time.

That is very interesting!! There have been several rumors about these "secret tunnels".

You are the first person to ever post a picture showing the location of one of those in the Mini-Golf game.

Still, this does not help gain a stroke on the 18th hole. And I have another very easy method of getting a birdie that does not need any tricks.

Instead of going to the back hole on the first green, simply putt at 30-40% power directly into the lower front hole.

Then on the 2nd green, aim like in the picture below, with 60% power. The putt will bank twice right into the bottom hole. Then the 3rd shot will be from the same spot and same way that you showed. Simple.

Please look at the Mini-Golf guide that Justin and I have posted at the top of this section. It shows how to do holes 1 thru 14. I keep saying it, but I will finish this someday.

any advice for hole 17

[thekatie0409]

i've tried your way, but i cant get the hang of it.
and, even though this one can't help to gain a stroke, i posted one about hole 16 that can help to get you an eagle.

to birdie hole 17, the first shot is angled to the right. the length part of the arrow is just above the corner of the square the ball starts on. the ball will go up and near the hole, and the second shot is an easy one.

thanks for the advice

Yup, that is the best way that I have found to get a birdie on #17 also.

It is risky, but I can do it about 95% of the time.

Here is a closer pic of that first critical putt. Aim exactly at the little notch in the bush and use full power. Your ball will bounce off of the right wall and as it goes up the ramp it will curl to the left to slip nicely down that shute towards the hole. Can't quite make it go into the cup for a hole-in-one, but the next putt is just a tap-in for the birdie.

Notice my score? Birdie here for 5 points and the same on #18 gave me a 105. I have done that many times now.

There's another tunnel on hole 18 that gives you a slightly easier shot than BERT_X's. All you do is aim at full strength at the corner closest to you. It puts you on the second green, but only with one fan between you and the hole, not two. This will also only give you a birdie though.

I have a VERY elementary question...how do I control the strength of the hit. When I need very little strength I get full strength and vice versa.

[thekatie0409]

The closer your cursor is to your character the less strength you have.
