Mini Golf: a guide for your next round
Bring your attention to one round of Mini Golf. Sink all three holes within twelve strokes per hole. Look at what changes after your first action. Read the objective before making your first input. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
Three original obstacle courses; wall bounces and friction.
Something to practise
Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Make the next step deliberately.
Your objective
Sink all three holes within twelve strokes per hole. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
Step by step
- Aim a stopped ball.
- Set power and putt.
- Wait until it stops before another shot.
- Use Next hole after sinking.
Your inputs
Touch aim, angle/power sliders and Putt. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
Put the rules into context
A soft final putt can sink where a fast crossing would not. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Read the matching step again.
Watch out for this
The hole accepts only a sufficiently slow ball. Compare the situation with the worked example. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
