Here’s a brief overview of the game:

Spacious Courses

The unique enjoyment of golfing offered only by the Hot Shots Golf series remains in tact, and is even more refreshing with spacious, open courses made up of nine holes. Outside of golfing, you can talk with other players on the open course lawn, fish in the pond, and move around in the cart in a game bustling with activity.

Create Your Own Avatar

Enjoy various game modes with your very own “My Character.” Not only can you customize your appearance and fashion to your liking, you can gradually power them up through gameplay. Develop your My Character and aim for the best score.

Play on Your Own, or With Everyone Else

Compete your golf skills against fellow in-game characters in the tournament-based “Challenge Mode,” practice courses you’re not good at in “Single Stroke,” carefully develop your My Character, and take on various courses.

On the open course, players from all over the world will compete their golf skills against each other. Challenge these players with your My Character and enjoy the “Hot Shots Golfer” life. Up to four people can also play New Hot Shots Golf in party play with a single controller.

Doesn't HSH win *every* GR videogame golf tourney? I remember he always did when we had the GR Mario Golf World Tour weekly championships on 3DS .

Oh, absolutely, Peter . If I get the game, I'll join in too. the 3DS game was pretty cool because you could play your tournament round whenever you wanted to during the week; and you could check out the other player scores as they completed their rounds. I wonder if Everybody's will work in the same way?

Which gives the final points tally as (showing EG points where they were needed to differentiate between positions). In the end there was only 363 points between 2nd and 3rd or about 1.5% of the points tally for the whole competition).



Congratulations to Hugo who triumphed even though playing off a scratch handicap the whole time. His consistency was probably what won it for him in the end but his -23 round on Friday did place him 11th in the whole world.

Thanks again for taking part, hope it was worth the effort!
