English dialogue: Ella's story is 3 seconds faster in the opening because Neil's lines are shorter. Japanese dialogue in Ella’s story is about 20 seconds shorter than English. Also, ball flight is slow. Ella's ball flight moves down as she levels up. Neil's moves up.

Code: () – if something is in parentheses, it is conditional based on your environment (weather, wind, lie) Power - hit a power shot (B button before you swing) impact <direction> - move the ball impact marker fully in that direction; moving just one step in that direction will be indicated (if in parentheses, do not go that direction if the wind is blowing that way) Aiming – When aiming for a particular spot, account for the wind. 95% - take a little off the shot (do not hit a full shot), may or may not literally be 95% power; other percent numbers are going to be more exact BA – manual shot with no spin BAA – manual shot with topspin BAB – manual shot with super topspin BBB – manual shot with backspin BBA – manual shot with super backspin Early/late – input the spin before or after the center of the accuracy marker tailwind/headwind/left to right wind/right to left wind – only matters over 2mph

When in doubt, BBB with 4I or less, BBA with 3I or more.

GIVING UP: switch to Putter, press B to putt short and Give Up.

Some holes have times listed after them (ex. 30-35s). These are my testing results from timing these individual hole tactics. Time these yourself from pressing a button out of the “Hole X” screen with the green view, the one before the camera pans to the tee box, to when the hole result screen appears, i.e. when your character strikes a pose and the announcer says ‘Nice birdie!’

TEE SHOT Power impact up right BAB

APPROACH club up impact up one step right BBA

Notes/Objective: Get the best drive message on the first hole so that you don’t get it on future holes. Also, this hole is pretty long for a par 4 opener.

If you give up the first hole, switch to putter (keep it at long), putt to halfway so it goes into the rough, then turn off the 3D Shot Screen and Give Up. This prevents an extra “Best Drive” message from appearing. 2 TWO

Notes/Objective: Use impact marker on approach to aim left or right. 31s

	2 TWO

TEE SHOT impact up right BBA

APPROACH 3w BBA RAIN 1w, impact down one step right BBA

Notes/Objective: Get tee shot onto the hill so approach can go above the trees. Impact up on the approach puts the trees into play. 26.5-28s in rain or closer pin w/ 3W approach, 29-30s otherwise (best conditions: rain+no wind or left to right wind) (worst conditions: >4mph right to left wind)

Notes/Objective: Tee shot should end up on hill. Cacti in play if strong left to right wind. Approach should bounce up to hole. 28.5-32s (longer if right to left wind) Drive will usually end up 225-231 yds (if you’re keeping track of Best Drive)

	2 TWO

TEE SHOT (aim to right of cactus if right to left wind) impact up right BA

APPROACH (Power if back pin and less than perfect lie) impact up (right) BBA

Notes/Objective: Tee shot should land at the bottom of the big hill and bounce up to the level of the cactus. Hole should be very accessible from there. 28-32s

	3 THREE

TEE SHOT impact up (left) BBA

SECOND SHOT impact up (right if right to left wind) BBA

APPROACH club up impact up (right) BBA

Notes/Objective: This is almost always going to be a three-shot hole. Tee shot should be slowed down by the rough. There may be cacti in play on the approach. Tough hole to route. 34-39s

	GIVE UP if going YOLO on 13. You’re all in at this point.

TEE SHOT Power aim slightly right impact up (right) BBA

APPROACH Power impact up (right) BBA (BBB in headwind or rain, BAA in bad lie)

Notes/Objective: Don’t get the tee shot too close to the hill! Unless you end up getting a 3w on the approach, you are likely looking a difficult putt up the front slope. 26-30s

	6 SIX

TEE SHOT impact up (left of cactus) (late) BBA

APPROACH 3w impact up (right) (early) BBA

Notes/Objective: You REALLY want to be left of the cacti on the tee shot. The game’s aim will want to force you left on the approach. 24-30s

	7 SEVEN

TEE SHOT impact up (left/right correct for wind) BBA

APPROACH Power 3w impact up (down if back pin) one step right BBA (down right BBB in rain)

Notes/Objective: You cannot consistently get on the hill without power and aiming. Impacting up on a back pin brings a cactus into play. 25-30s, highly consistent 27

	8 EIGHT

GIVE UP if going YOLO on 13. You’re already all in at this point.

	9 NINE

TEE SHOT aim for right side of hill and Power BAA [GET TO THE GAP IN THE CACTI]

APPROACH Power 3W impact down (left/right correct for wind or right if hitting cactus) BBA

Notes/Objective: The tee shot should bounce on the hill, then bounce on the slope and come to a stop, putting it in a gap in the cacti allowing for a green approach. 29-32s if eagle

	10 TEN

TEE SHOT Power impact up (left) BBA

APPROACH club up to pin (3w 95% ideal) impact up (right) BBA

Notes/Objective: Left pin is particularly hard to get close to. DO NOT GO BEHIND THE GREEN! 26-31s

	11 ELEVEN

	3I (95% front pin) impact up (down in rain and back pin) right BBA
	BACK PIN/STRONG RIGHT TO LEFT WIND: 4W, early control

Notes/Objective: The pin furthest back between the two mounds will make the game start you in 4W. Normal strat with this and cross wind from the right will push you too far into the rough for a reasonably makeable putt. 14s-19s

	12 TWELVE

TEE SHOT 85% impact up right BBA

APPROACH (3W) (Power if not a perfect lie) impact up (down if back pin) (right) BBA

Notes/Objective: Tee shot should be short of the slope to create a 3W approach onto a relatively flat green for minimal spin. 1W puts cacti into play. 25.5-30s

	13 THIRTEEN

	GIVE UP at -8 if you’re sure you can birdie the rest of the way

SAFE TEE SHOT impact up (left) BBA SECOND SHOT 1W aim right between rows of cacti 90% impact up BBA APPROACH impact right (BBB)

YOLO except with headwind >7mph TEE SHOT Power aim left at cacti between bunkers impact down (left/right correct for wind, one step left by default) BAB APPROACH Power impact up (down in rain or barely in fairway) (right) BBA

Notes/Objective: The best alternative I can find is to give up 5 & 8 and eagle 13. Giving up 5 saves about 18 seconds. Giving up 8 saves about 8 seconds. This allows a mistake-free round to win at -4. However, giving up 13 saves about 27 seconds and allows much more wiggle room. There is at least five seconds to save with the alternative if the yolo risk pays off with an eagle. If you are going to play this hole safe, however, then there is a nice alley through the cacti where your second shot can go. You want that second shot to land in the rough to force a lower-loft club for the approach. Eagle is only reasonable with a decent wind that isn’t a headwind or forces the recommended tee shot into a bunker. 35.5-41s safe, 28-32s yolo eagle

	14 FOURTEEN

TEE SHOT 95% impact up (right) BBA

APPROACH 3W (Power in divot) (95% if front pin in bottom right—except in rain) impact up (down if not perfect lie or aiming into cactus) (one step right) BBA

Notes/Objective: Sometimes the game will put you in 4W for the approach, but it is too short and the 3W is too long for the front pins in a good lie. 24-30s

	15 FIFTEEN

3W 90% (full in headwind) impact up (one step right) BBA

Notes/Objective: You may end up starting in 4W. If you mash through and find yourself in 4W, put 95% on it in normal circumstances and you should be fine for the birdie. However, your ball will spin a little bit longer. 16-19s 16 SIXTEEN

TEE SHOT impact (right) BBA

APPROACH Power club down impact up (right) BBA

Notes/Objective: The hill is a good landing spot for the tee shot. Impact up on the tee shot will slam it into the slope. If you don’t club down on a front pin, the cactus can get in your way. Reasonable eagle chance with no wind/rain, back left pin and 100% 2nd shot 25-30s

	17 SEVENTEEN

TEE SHOT impact up right BBA

SECOND SHOT impact up (left if shot marker into cactus) BBA IN DIVOT OR RAIN Power impact right BBA

APPROACH impact up (one step right) BBB

Notes/Objective: If you don’t impact right at all at the start, you will hit a cactus without exception. Full right will keep an out-of-bounds cactus out of play on the second shot. If your second shot is short, it may fall out of bounds. 32-38s

	18 EIGHTEEN

TEE SHOT impact up right BBA

APPROACH 3w Power (95% in tailwind/perfect lie and not back pin) impact up (down if not perfect lie) (right) BBA

	1 ONE

TEE SHOT impact up (right) BBA (BA in headwind)

APPROACH (Power if headwind and/or in divot) (3W) impact up (right) BBA

Notes/Objective: Your tee shot may need to be aimed if the right to left wind is too strong. The fast fairway should be avoided. Your approach may need to be aimed if middle pin. 24-29s

	2 TWO

TEE SHOT aim right between heath and OB, impact up BBA

SECOND SHOT aim at right edge of fairway, impact up BBA

APPROACH (Power) impact up right BBA

Notes/Objective: The fast fairway here might as well be more hazards. No consistency. 35-44s HIGH-RISK EAGLE STRAT - Power aim for right edge of fast fairway impact down BA, aim Power BAB. Approach should go through trees and bounce up to hole. 33-42s

	3 THREE

(3I in rain) (95% in tailwind and 3I) impact up right BBA (BBB if 4I and no tailwind)

Notes/Objective: The 4I shot usually bounces out of the rough. 13-20s

	4 FOUR

TEE SHOT 90% impact up BBA

APPROACH Power club down, aim as needed, impact up (down for back pin) right BBA

Notes/Objective: There’s a nasty patch of heath in your tee shot’s normal landing spot. A bad lie will force you to aim and adjust for the green. There’s hardly a flat spot on this green to land on. 27-33s

	5 FIVE

LEFT (INTO TREES) Power impact down left (right in >7mph left to right crosswind BBA (Power) impact up (right) BBA

RIGHT Power impact up right BBA (Power) impact up BBA

Notes/Objective: When aimed into the trees, down and left or right always keeps the tee shot safe from the trees. Down right would put a slope into play. When aimed right of the trees, you want to land in between the three bunkers. Impact right on the approach from there may put the tree into play. 27-32s either way

	6 SIX

aim for middle of fast fairway (or left pin when necessary) impact (down except tailwind) right BBA

Notes/Objective: This fast fairway is treacherous. 16-20s (quickest if wind blows towards middle of fairway)

	7 SEVEN

TEE SHOT Power club up aim for middle of trees impact up right BAB

APPROACH club up to short of pin, impact down right BBA

Notes/Objective: The straightest line to the hole only works if you get past the trees. Sometimes you’ll start in 4W and a 4W will never do this efficiently. 25-33s

	8 EIGHT

TEE SHOT Power aim for knob impact down BAB

APPROACH (Power) impact (up/down for distance) (right) BBA

Notes/Objective: Using the fast fairways for extra distance is about the only way you can get close to this green for eagle. The knob in the fast fairway your tee shot is directed towards is a good reference point for getting through. 30-43s

	9 NINE

TEE SHOT Power aim for middle, impact up right BBA

APPROACH (3W) (Power) aim for pin, impact up (right for wind correction) BBA

Notes/Objective: The tee shot usually puts you on the left slope in the fairway. You may graze the tree on the approach, but it’ll make the ball get to the ground faster so it’s usually fine. 25-34s

	10 TEN

(aim if right to left wind >9mph) impact (up/down for distance) right BBA

Notes/Objective: You usually want to impact down to not hit the side of the hill that this green lies on, though you can afford to impact up if you’re not dealing with much wind. 16.5-19s back pin, 14-19s front pin

	11 ELEVEN

TEE SHOT impact up (left/right to fast fairway edge) BBA

APPROACH 3W (Power) (aim to pin if right to left wind) impact up right BBA

Notes/Objective: There is a small patch of fairway between rough, fast fairway and slope that’s not too difficult to hit with a slight adjustment. A strong right to left wind on the approach usually puts a bunker in play. 24-32s

	12 TWELVE

TEE SHOT Power aim left between fast fairway and rough impact down (right) BAA

	ESCAPE 2ND	(3/4 if in bunker) impact up right BBA

	APPROACH	impact up BBA

36-43s IF IN FAIRWAY AFTER TEE SHOT

APPROACH Power impact down right BAB

Likely putting from fairway. 32-39s if eagle

Notes/Objective: Skidding across these fast fairways makes it possible to reach in two. A left to right wind will force the ball towards heath and make that VERY difficult.

	13 THIRTEEN

TEE SHOT 90-95% impact (up) BBA

APPROACH club up (Power if needed) impact up (right) BBA

Notes/Objective: If you want to keep the heath out of play on the tee shot, 4W is a safe bet. In any case, you want to keep the trees out of play as much as possible. It also frequently sets up a nice 3I or 3W for the approach. 24-31.5s

	14 FOURTEEEN		

TEE SHOT aim for right edge of bunker impact up right BA

APPROACH Power aim for pin impact (down except in tailwind) BBA (BBB in divot)

Notes/Objective: The tee shot should bounce through the fast fairway. Long approach. 29-34s

	15 FIFTEEN

LEFT PIN 4W impact down left AIM* BBA 18.5-21s

RIGHT PIN 4W impact down right BBA 16-21s

*Notes/Objective: On the left pin, hold B to get to impact marker mode, adjust down and left, release B, club up to 4W and aim. It’s that important. The tree is such a nuisance.

	16 SIXTEEN

	-12 GIVE UP HOLE

TEE SHOT impact up (left except in headwind) BBA

SECOND SHOT impact up (right) BBA

APPROACH impact up right BBB

Notes/Objective: This green is almost impossible to reach without a strong tailwind. It’s the only par 5 without a half-reasonable eagle chance so it’s worth the most to give up. 36-41s

	17 SEVENTEEN

TEE SHOT impact up (left/right between rough and bunker) BBA

APPROACH 3W Power (aim for pin if necessary) impact down BBA

Notes/Objective: You can’t really avoid the second shot over the trees efficiently. 27-34s

	18 EIGHTEEN

	-12 GIVE UP HOLE if not giving up 16

TEE SHOT Power AIM for left edge of fairway, impact up right BBA

APPROACH Power aim between trees impact down BAB or just BBA accordingly

Notes/Objective: The water is not really in play. If you hit a 1W and impact up, your shot should skip out of the water once, but it’s enough here to get through. 29-40s

-4 to win expected Lv23 with optimal play (22 if giving up, more likely 20-21) 4-6 levels in Drive, LAST ONE IN CONTROL NOTE: You'll see a bunch of (+2)s on the upcoming times. Add 2 seconds to those times if your tee shot ends up being a "Best Drive."

	MUSHROOM TOURNEY

	1 ONE

Club up to pin aim (95% unless headwind) impact up right BBA

Notes/Objective: In-between clubs. 3I barely gets there, but has minimal spin. 4W is too much and has more spin. Off the green here is a disaster. 17-22s

	2 TWO

TEE SHOT club up Power aim for right side of island on left impact down BBA

APPROACH club up to pin impact up right BBB/BBA accordingly

Notes/Objective: Going through the fairway instead trades a “Best Drive” time loss for the elevated risk of going out of bounds. The two routes take roughly the same amount of time regardless. 26-34s

	3 THREE

TEE SHOT Power aim for left side of fast fairway impact down right BBB (BA in headwind)

APPROACH club up to pin (3W best) aim for pin impact up right BBA

Notes/Objective: The tee shot should bounce through the fast fairway. You will need a power shot somewhere to reach this green—the green has a smaller landing area. 28.5-33.5s (28-31s in rain) (+2)

	4 FOUR

SAFE

TEE SHOT impact up right (BAA IN HEADWIND) BA

SECOND SHOT impact (NOT UP IF IN ROUGH) up BBA

APPROACH impact up right BBB

Notes/Objective: Your second shot may need to impact left or right (left most common) to avoid the rocks. 35.5-41s (up to 50s if something goes wrong)

YOLO

TEE SHOT Power aim for middle of fairway impact down right BAB

APPROACH Power impact down right aim to right of last rock BAB/BBA

Notes/Objective: Any headwind or left to right wind on this tee shot or the tee shot landing in a not-perfect lie seem to make the approach impossible due to the rocks near the green. 32-36.5s eagle (+2)

	5 FIVE

TEE SHOT 1W aim for middle of fairway impact down right BBA

APPROACH (Power if divot) aim for pin impact down right BBA

Notes/Objective: Impact down on the tee shot avoids rough, which allows for a non-power club to reach over the rocks and onto the green. 28-34s

	6 SIX
	

AIM FOR PIN

LEFT PIN 5I impact up right BBB The slope behind this pin should slow it down enough. 16.5-19s

MIDDLE PINS (4I, 5I in tailwind >9mph) (95% except in headwind) impact up right BBB Bounce into the rough and into the green. 16-19s (15.5 in rain)

	7 SEVEN

TEE SHOT 1W Power aim right of bunker impact up right BBA

APPROACH club up to pin (Power if not perfect lie) aim above large bunker impact (up 4W/down 3W) right BA (BBA if landing on green)

Notes/Objective: The area above the large bunker below the play panels is a good landing spot. 4W can get over the rocks without incident. 3W would have to impact down. 29-33s if approach lands on green

	8 EIGHT

TEE SHOT 1W (aim left of mushroom) impact up right BBA

SECOND SHOT 90% (full in rain) impact up (left/right against wind) BBA

APPROACH aim for pin impact up right BBB 4I-/BBA 3I+

Notes/Objective: Second shot should land short of the slope. Impact right with no wind puts a rock into play. 35.5-42.5s

	9 NINE

TEE SHOT 1W aim for rough between bunkers impact up right BBA

APPROACH Power 3W aim for middle of fairway impact down right BA (BAA in rain, BAB in lie +/- >5%)

Notes/Objective: The fast fairways are VERY slow to end up on. The rough is much more consistent. Take care to avoid the right side rough on the approach. Your birdie putt will likely come from the fairway in front of the green, though you could reach with a decent lie and/or a strong tailwind. 26.5-32s

	10 TEN

TEE SHOT impact up (one step right) BBA

APPROACH 3W aim for front of green impact (up/down for distance) right BBA

Notes/Objective: Fast fairway is slow here. 25.5-29s

	11 ELEVEN

LEFT/MIDDLE PIN Power 3I aim for fast fairway BBA

RIGHT PIN Power 3I aim to right side of bomb impact (down for rain/wind) right BBA

RIGHT WIND SPECIAL: Power 3I impact (down for rain/wind) left BBA

Notes/Objective: Impact up on the left/middle pins hits one of the blocks in front of the tee. Too far right on the left pin puts you in the Bob-omb’s hitbox and it’s a LARGE hitbox. For the right pin, you are threading the needle between the Bob-omb and a nearby block. Impact down puts the slopes off the green out of play, but full power may be too much. 13.92-16.68s left pin (13.39-15.32s in rain), 13.15-17.43s middle pin (13.98-16.41s in rain), 14.90-18.69s (14.47-16.08s in rain) right pin

12 TWELVE

TEE SHOT (1W except in >13mph tailwind) Aim for first play panel impact up right BBA

APPROACH (Power) 3W aim impact (up/down for wind) right BBA

Notes/Objective: Tee shot should land between play panels. Land on the first panel and bounce off of it. Most consistent way I found to keep play panels out of play. Requires a 3W approach that can stop dead in its tracks as soon as it reaches the green. 25.38-30.28s (+11s if you hit play panel)

	13 THIRTEEN

FRONT PIN TEE SHOT impact (one step up at full power except in tailwind) left BBA (DO NOT BE LATE)

APPROACH (4W) aim for left edge of green (95% in tailwind) impact up right BBA

Notes/Objective: Hit the tee shot into the rough, not the fairway, not off the rock. Then hit a 4W to the green. If done correctly, both shots should stop on a dime. 23.55-27.29s

BACK PIN TEE SHOT impact up right early BBA

APPROACH (4W) aim for left edge of green impact (up if club up, else down) right BBA 23.09-27.56s

	14 FOURTEEN

TEE SHOT (1W) aim for top edge of right fast fairway (95% except in headwind) impact up right BBA

IF LIE IS NOT PERFECT	SECOND SHOT		impact up right BBA
					APPROACH		impact right BBB

APPROACH Power (1W) (aim for fairway) impact down right BA

Putt for eagle (yes, even from fairway)

Notes/Objective: The degree of difficulty on this shot changes wildly with the wind. The idea is to bounce off of the first fast fairway next to the bunker and land on the fairway between the two right-side bunkers. If your lie is good, then the green can be approached with a Power shot. Otherwise, there’s a layup area to the left across the water. 29.88s for eagle up to 41.32s for birdie

Scribbles of notes for other potential shots (this hole was hard to route): TEE SHOT 1W (95%) impact up (left/right according to wind, right if starting with 1W) BBA

1W RIGHT TO LEFT WIND	Power impact up right BBA

SECOND SHOT impact up right BBA APPROACH impact up (right) BBB 35.96-41.32s, 38.71-38.96s in rain POTENTIAL FOR A LOT WORSE

TAILWIND TEE SHOT Power aim left of bunker impact down right BBA APPROACH Power 1W aim for pokey impact down right BBA Putt for Eagle 34.17-34.40s

NO WIND Tee (aim for mushroom) bba Approach power 1w aim for fairway impact down right bab Putt for eagle 31.46-32.15s

1W aim for right fast fairway impact right BAB Impact up right early BBA Club up impact (up right) BBB Tailwind and on fairway power aim impact down right bba, putt for eagle 33.59s 37.68s in rain 15 FIFTEEN

Club up aim left of pin 90% (95% in headwind >13mph) impact up (right) BBA

Notes/Objective: Find a flat surface to land on so that the super backspin 3W stops on a dime. There’s more room to do that with the back-right hole location. You’ll get put in 4W by default, but it does not spin as quickly here. Left pin 14.23-17.81s, 13.80-16.65s in rain Right pin 14.60-18.43s, 13.91-16.08s in rain

	16 SIXTEEN

TEE SHOT impact (up in tailwind) (right) BBA

IF >=13mph S/SE wind	SECOND SHOT 70% impact up BBA
     or not in the fairway	APPROACH	   3w aim 95% impact up BBA

APPROACH Power 1W aim for hole impact up right BAB

If your aim is true, a straight putt from any point on the island should be all you need.

Notes/Objective: If your shot is flat enough, you can actually skip it on the water. There’s hardly any other way to reach this green in two, particularly without a tailwind, much less with any consistency. 29.68-32.67s, 33.59-36.96s if you have to lay up

	17 SEVENTEEN

TEE SHOT Aim for right edge of bunker below play panel impact (up if full power or tailwind) (right) BBA

APPROACH (Power in rough) (3w/3i whichever closest) (aim for left front edge of green) impact (up back pin) (right) BBA

Notes/Objective: There aren’t that many safe spaces to land on this fairway and several of them put the play panels in play. Unless you don’t adjust enough for a right to left wind, you should not put any play panels in play. 25.29-29.74s

	18 EIGHTEEN

	GIVE UP if -13 or better; or

TEE SHOT 85% impact up right early BBA (end on right side of fairway)

SECOND impact up right early BBA (end in rough between heavy rough and rock)

APPROACH (Power in heavy rough)(aim for bottom of green) impact down right BBA

Notes/Objective: Lay up city. Second shot does flirt with some OB, though. Approach is really flat and the green is, well, anything but. 32.55s-36.03s

-3 to win
