42. was doing pretty good until the last one (7). someone posted this on a design message board and the highest score i saw posted was something insane like 32.

Friday is important enough to be a world event.

I love you. And I don't even like golf. (45, but I did MUCH better on the first 12 holes. I did really stupid things after that.)

39: 2,1,1,2,2,4,2,2,3,2,1,1,3,2,5,3 (never completely figured out what was uphill and what was downhill until it was too late)

Hole 8 has a bug in it. You can get stuck on top of one of the brown things (the top one). I was doing well, too. :(

1, 2, 1, 2, 2, 2, 1, 2, 2, 2, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 7, final: 38

Yes, I suck.

This is me playing this game: 1, 1, 1, 1 (yes!), 3... restart.

Hole 11 also has a bug - if you try to bounce your ball in the narrow space between the brown bar and the left wall at high speed, the ball can fly out of the playing area. This was most disappointing, and happened at least twice.

And it only took you (at least) 1 hour and 9 minutes :) Long live MeFi, land of the procrastinators!
posted by adrianhon at 4:11 AM on April 19, 2002

I was technically shooting for 29 or less, but after 1 hour and 9 minutes I decided 32 would have to do. I once got 11 on the 17th hole.
posted by gleemax at 4:15 AM on April 19, 2002

Can't remember which hole but if the ball gets out of the playing area it wont go back in and bounces off the little "par indicator."

The windmill is evil.

5 under first round, i wanted to break something on 14 :) but a second round 32, woo!

I just did it once. . .67. . . .April is indeed the cruellest month. I'm clearing my calendar for the afternoon to improve my score. . maybe I just won't go home tonight. . .

Hmmm. I got 52, but that includes 14 strokes on number 11. (I got caught by that bug.)

Also good is this golf game.

I got a 33 yay!

42, but i'm not done trying yet.
posted by whoshotwho at 10:31 AM on April 19, 2002

OK, 41, which isn't as good as some of you people, but damn it I got a HOLE IN ONE on the windmill one. YEAH!
posted by Watsonne at 11:03 AM on April 19, 2002

33, and I would have broken 30 if it wasn't for hole 18, which I putzed around on for a 5 count. Grrrr.

My best shot so far is getting the rare "albatross" on hole 17. The ball moves quicker than my eye can follow as it bounces off the walls at least 10 times. But it can be done.
posted by grum@work at 11:12 AM on April 19, 2002

I got a 29! A hole in one on the 18th hole.
posted by riffola at 12:39 PM on April 19, 2002

OK, this doesn't speak to my productivity today, but I just realized that the stupid windmill hole has two pipes on either side of the windmill, which will shoot you straight into the section with the hole. Can't get a hole in one that way, but at leat I'm not hitting 13 over par!

Sigh...
posted by Watsonne at 2:05 PM on April 19, 2002

first try, woulda hit par except for a 10 on last hole.

41 second time around.

This is going to be an unproductive afternoon...
