Swingerz Golf/Missions

A Missions
For these missions, I used an unupgraded Yoshiki with the Beginner's Ball and Beginner Clubs and no accessories. There are times when I quote a specific power percentage or club, but that may be different depending on what character you are playing with or if any of these items or players are upgraded.

Mission A1

 * Make 3 shots to within 16 ft of the cup
 * The first mission is relatively easy if you know the controls. There's only a 4 ft rise in elevation, you start on the fairway, the green is relatively flat, and you have a huge margin of error. This should be a piece of cake.

Mission A2

 * Make 3 shots to within 3 ft of the cup
 * There's a smaller margin of error for this one, but it is just as straightforward. Give the ball backspin (hold ) and hit it at 80% - 85%. You have seven chances, so don't worry if you miss a few.

Mission A3

 * Get 2 Excellent shots in succession with 50% power or more.
 * This one's mostly luck, but otherwise is a freebie. Don't worry about where the ball lands, just focus on moving the C-stick in a straight line. You could launch the ball off into a lake and still win as long as the shot was rated "Excellent".

Mission A4

 * Make 3 shots to within 7 ft of the cup
 * This is the first mission the presents a challenge. We're in a bunker, the hole is about 3 ft uphill, and the green is tilted to the left. There is a relatively generous margin of error, however, so it isn't too hard. Aim just a hair to the left of the hole and hit the ball at 55% - 60%. Whether or not the ball rolls close enough to the hole to count will depend mostly on luck. If the shot percentage (the percentage at the lower right of the screen) is around 80% or 90%, you should make it. Otherwise, just keep trying, as you have plenty of chances to make it.

Mission A5

 * Make 3 shots to within 10 ft of the cup
 * This one is almost a gimme after the last one. The hole is 5 yards uphill, but you're on the fairway and the green is flat. Hit the ball slightly harder than where the yellow flag is (75% - 80% if what I used), and you'll be just fine. If you're still having trouble with it, though, try adding backspin by pressing to minimize the time the ball spends rolling.

Mission A6

 * Make 3 shots to within 10ft of the cup
 * The first thing you want to look at it the shot percentage in the lower right. For this particular shot, it is (85% - 100%). This means that most likely, you will not hit it as hard as the power bar suggests. So give the ball backspin to minimalize the chance of strange bounces and hit it about a notch over the flag (I used about 90%). As long as the shot percentage is in the high 80s or low 90s, you should get it. Don't worry about it if you miss a few, though- it can't be helped.

Mission A7

 * Hole 3 putts in a row
 * This one is relatively easy introduction to a new style of challenge. Instead of getting it close, you are asked to actually get it in. On this particular shot, it is a downhill roll to the green, so don't hit it over the yellow flag mark on the power bar. It's a straight shot, so don't worry about aiming. Focus more on making sure to hit it at just the right amount of power- just under the yellow flag mark. It was just under 100% for Yoshiki.

Mision A8

 * Putt to within 10 ft of the cup 3 times.
 * Don't let the moving lines on the green fool you- this one is also a straight shot. Hit it with a little more power than the yellow flag advertises, and it might even go in. I hit it at 70% and it went in each time.

Mission A9

 * Putt to within 3 ft of the cup 3 times.
 * There's a lot of fairway between where you are and the cup, so hit it 20% - 30% harder than usual. I know it feels weird to hit it so hard, but it's uphill too, so it all evens out in the end. The margin of error is quite small, so don't worry if you miss the mark a couple of times. I hit it at about 75% with Yoshiki.

Mission A10

 * Hole out at par or under
 * This one almost doesn't feel like a mission. There's not much more I can say about this one than just do what you do during a normal game.
