    I know that I've done that before many months ago; first try in recent memory... a 43

    I'm sorry but I'm pretty sure it's impossible to score an 18 on that game. On some of the holes it's just impossible to score a hole in one. I scored a 34 and for that I played superbly!

    Agree with Barmy, there are 2 or 3 particular holes that I tried very hard and couldn't get in one. The fact that you can't hit the ball too hard in some holes (the one with ups and down greens) because whenever you want to hit hard and the pointer is out of the green box, it won't hit hard, just the strenght you can get with the pointer inside the green box.

    It’s definitely possible, because I’ve done it. There are, however, a few holes where you have to get the speed and/or angle just right; miss it by just a bit and you won’t even come close to a hole-in-one. IIRC, the most sensitive one (I don’t recall the #) was the one with 3 long horizontal “alleyways” – hit it up a bit and to the left, bounce it back to the right , and bounce it back again to the left. The “up and down” ones also fall into this category.

    The really hard part is getting all 18 holes-in-one in the same game.

    Like I said, I was bored one weekend.

    It takes many years for good golfers to mature properly.

    I just realized I gave the wrong link. The game I played before was a more "full-screen" version of the same game. I've changed the link above; I think the previous game wasn't allowing you to get enough speed on certain holes.

    I just remembered what I think is my greatest moment in gaming (Fallout 2):

    The time I was the first among all my friends to find Navarro and subsequently the Enclave Power Armor. I was God to them.

    I took 7v1 on Random Map on AOK(no conquerors) and won....also took on 3 of the top 4 players on Herofest(custom map...really popular for AOK) with a buddy of mine and rolled them.

    Got a 5 hs shot on Counter-Strike: Source last week with an AWP in a 5v5 match, and later that same game got a 6 man nade(killed a teammate, and their whole team). Quite a good night for me.

    What difficulty was it? I think I've done it a few times on hardest (conquerors mostly), and since it sometimes feels too easy, I've downloaded a few custom AI's that makes the computer play much more like people do when you play online. It rocks.

    it wasn't against the computer...it was against "intermediate" people online. Intermediates can generally do a 2v1 on hardest against the computer....as you could guess from the feat, I was considered expert..

    Managed to get the kill rating "Holy s***! Someone kill him!" In DOTA the other day. Think thats... 11 or 12 kills in a row.

    Finished the Atlantic Accelerator stage in the original Syndicate.

    Got to the final stage of Blizzard's Skibi's Tower Defense solo.

    Got there again with a friend.

    Managed to win Virtua Fighter II two times in a row after beating my friend, who was supposed to be better at it than me. I didn't know anything about playing it, I just pushed the buttons like a maniac.
