Mario Golf: Advance Tour

With a bit more practicing out of the way, and my players bumped up a few notches, I tried the Doubles Mushroom tournament. And it’s hard. You see, you sometimes have to hit “Play Panels” by landing on them, which in turn alter the layout of the hole. Of course, you can ignore them, but then you also make birdies near impossible. I wasn’t looking forward to bailing Neil out as well as defeating some difficult players on some hard …

Went and did some more training sessions to take my golfers up a few levels, mainly so that Neil stops being an idiot. Sadly, he still is, but my attempt at the Links Doubles was successful! I see that the Mushroom Tournament is now unlocked. Well, it was unlocked after the Singles, but I didn’t go and have a look.

Finished off all of the Club Slots events first of all, and then did some of the Links training thingies. After that, it was onto the Links Singles proper, and it’s hard. Much harder than any of the previous tourneys, mainly due to the horrendous wind conditions. It took two attempts to best it. Had a go on the Doubles for it then, but Neil was playing his worst so gave up.

After some more practice sessions in the Palms and Dunes training areas, I entered the Palms Tournament. Tried Singles first, and once again trounced the opposition. I hope this game gets a bit more challenging soon. Well, it did in Doubles, as Neil is now even more retarded than previously. Stupid, stupid boy keeps aiming correctly, but then only swinging for 75% of the shot making every single shot fall short. And, invariably, into a water hazard or bunker. Or …

Entered the Palms Singles tournament, and won it with relative ease – I even managed my first hole in one! Once again, I was losing to start with, but soon overtook everyone. I realised why too – it’s because the other players had played more holes. I though it was odd that “Nate Dog” went from 0 to -5 after a Par 3 hole… Then I practiced on the Marion putting green, learned about Approach Shots, and had a go …

Went and did some drive and approach practice on the Palms practice area. Was crap at the former, and acebest at the latter. Whilst I was in the area, I decided to have a go at the Palms Doubles tournament. It started off much harder than the Marion one, in part because my partner has become a retard for some reason. He actually aims for trees and bunkers. Idiot boy. After three holes, I was on +5 and the leader …

Thought it best to actually take part in some tournaments today, so went and competed in the Marion Doubles. Which I won, with easy (I was -5 at the end, compared to my nearest rival, on +6). Then I did the Marion Singles with similar success. I’m assuming the game actually gets harder, as it was really simple to come first in these two tournaments.

This arrived during the week, so I gave it a go today. Although a competent golf game, I’m a little unsure as to how the RPG elements work. I mean, I’ve gained a few levels (I played a practice round of doubles, had a go on the random club 3 hole game, and found a level-up mushroom), but altering some stats seems to be a bit hit and miss. For example, if I “spend” points on “Height”, for Ella (my …
