MARIO GOLF WORLD TOUR: HINTS AND TIPS

Here are a FEW Hints/Tips for basics of MARIO GOLF!
(Feel free to submit your own, and I'll add em')


Shooting into the wind
After you hit the "A" button to trigger your swing, use the Circle Pad to move the point on the ball where your club will make contact.
-If the wind is blowing AT you--aim the club to hit the TOP of the golf ball, so the ball will not get caught in the wind, and blow back, losing range
-If the wind is blowing WITH you--aim the club's contact point to hit the BOTTOM of the golf ball(keep in mind not to OVER shoot), and the ball will catch the wind, and FLY down the fairway. This is a great way to cut down a lot of the LONGER fairways.
-If the wind is coming in from an angle, simply aim the contact point on the ball in the opposite direction to rather counteract OR take-advantage of the breeze(if it's favorable)

Hooking the ball around objects
Most of the time when an object is in your golf ball's trajectory you'll get the "!" and RED ARROW telling you--but if you can turn yourself enough in the shot(from your standing point), and use the aiming option(as mentioned in "Shooting into the wind"--ABOVE), aim the ball's hit point to the LEFT or RIGHT and around the object. You may need practice, but it CAN help. ALSO, if you're still low in your shot count you can use a shorter shot OR club to get yourself out of harm's way.

Bunker Shots
Sand Sucks--we all know it--but getting into a bunker isn't the end of the world. Using the shot aiming technique hit the ball at the BOTTOM, and if you need to use a bigger Wedge, OR aim it further from it's original trajectory--and LOB it out back onto a playable surface. BUT try not to "Bunker Hop".
