Wii Sports Resort Golf (18 Holes) | -28 *Personal Best*

That was crazy! I skipped -27 and got the third-best score in the world!! As of now, I'm not certain about returning to improve my score. For now, I'm happy with 44 strokes.

I made many cuts in the video, as I spent a long time preparing for many shots. I prefer to edit music over my videos, and as I film with my phone (I don't have a capture card) the original audio usually isn't usable. Since this is a pretty significant record though, I have uploaded the unedited footage - https://youtu.be/XzLvMrrUTLI

*Thoughts:*
Hole 2 - I would only continue to here after getting the previous Eagle. I would reset when missing the Ace, if it was with wind that is useful for Hole Five (NW, N & NE). Otherwise, I might carry on without the chip-in. This Ace was cool, I looked at setups for 5m/s & 9m/s, and judged my aim very well for this speed.

Hole 3 - I adjusted to the left before my first shot, in the hope that I'd be able to hit two full bars to approach the hole. I might've been able to, but it's always a bit risky to aim far left in fear of landing in the bunker. Instead I went with non-full power and got a great putt.

Hole 6 - I knew @minexenim9526's Eagle setup off by heart but still checked it while I waited. There is a phenomenon in this game known as "Power Lag" where your shot gets heavily overpowered (usually ruining your chances of a chip-in). It happens most commonly on this hole, so I waited a long time before hitting my second shot.

Hole 7 - Southeast wind is the only one I wasn't really sure how to play for this hole. I opted for catching the tree, but that meant for the pin placement I had (AL) the tree blocked my way. I was certain that if I played a regular shot I would hit it and land in the water, so I used backspin and got close enough for a putt.

Hole 9 - I was lucky to be given this wind, making it still possible to cross the lake to the green. I know it was a bizarre decision to play curve for shot two. The idea was that I'd have a better angle for the flag chip, but in reality just made it more likely that I would mess something up! Thankfully, I barely hit the edge of the bunker, and was able to hit a straight shot for a -15 Resort!

Hole 15 - I knew from experience that you can hit all Southeast winds with a full power Drive and land safely on the fairway, but I didn't have any setups or reference points for 'A' pins. Therefore, I relied on pure golfing intuition and hit an awesome chip-in!

Hole 16 - These were basically perfect conditions for a super easy Eagle. Being able to hit full bar Spoon took away some nerves. Not that many though, I was definitely terrified of messing up at this point.

Hole 17 - This pin is very difficult to do in wind conditions like this that require you to use Spoon. I undershot my approach but knew from the many, many, many times that I have choked on this hole that the green is shaped in a specific way for this putt to work. This was super clutch!

Hole 18 - I really don't know how to feel about what happened here. I tried to apply what I knew from the Albatross setup with 12m/s. I played it almost perfectly, but overpowering just by the tiniest margin sent me flying past the green and lost me a -29... still, -28 is a huge achievement that I'm very happy with, and I guess it leaves room for improvement :)

This run bopped @espenpedersen9540, @_Mur45ak1_, @Alaskaxp2 & @thelonebanana019 [-27]! It is still beaten by @viridian-progolferzaru [-29] & @alnik001 [-30]. Huge respect to all these talented players!
