This is a game of skill, a game of golf. Your objective is to land on the green as closely as possible to the hole. If you're close enough, you get points and can move onto the next fairway once you complete the fairways objectives. However, if you land too far from the hole, and you get nothing and have to try again.
Keep in mind wind and look out for bonus birds flying in the air. You only have a limited time to achieve your goals for every level, so play fast, aim well.
Power and direction need to be spot on if you're going to get any points at all. So use a bit of skill if you want to win!
