If you dunk your ball, it's a 1-stroke penalty. Bunkers are sand traps. Escaping from them is tough. I want to increase my drive by twenty yards. If I do, I can use a short iron on my second shot! Approach shots are more important than tee or iron shots. If you miss the green on the 2nd stroke, only a good approach can save par. To avoid hazards, don't use a driver on the tee shot. ...low trajectory in headwinds, high trajectory in tailwinds... ...low trajectory... Everyone thinks so much before playing, they choke! Aren't there a lot of golfers waiting to start? You placed in the Club Tournament, ! You haven't even been a member long. Impressive! Say, aren't you, , the new Club Champ? It must be great to be the Champ! Most people get nervous in their first Tournament, but you placed, ! That takes real talent! Most people choke from the pressure of Club Tournaments, but you won, ! You're a golf master! Palm Club's trees make it tough to attack the course. The Palm Club Tournament is a step above ours. The farther you drive the ball, the more likely it'll curve. Distance has advantages, but so does control. Getting on green in 2 strokes below par is a par on. With a par on, you're sure to avoid a bogey. If you try to get on green in 2 strokes on a short par 5, you could end up getting a worse score. Did you know a fairway that turns is a dogleg? Attacking a dog- leg requires careful aim. If your attack's too bold, you could land in a trap! It's called a dog- leg 'cause it's bent - just like a dog's leg. First time I saw you, , I knew you had it. Now that you've placed, will you aim to be Champ? First time I saw you, , I knew you'd win! I'm sure that someday, you'll get to meet Mario! Going to play a Match Game with the Club Champ? After playing a round, assess your play and practice hard! All good golfers do that. You placed at Palm Club, ? Wow! Most golfers brag, but I guess you're above that! Hmm...I guess that takes some skill. Hmm...I guess that takes some skill. You won at Palm Club, ? You can't fool me! We've already seen the rankings! Marion's Champ winning at Palm Club is big news! I can tell you've already got plans for Dune Club. Marion's Champ winning at Palm Club is big news! I can tell you've already got plans for Dune Club. Nice, ! You placed in the Palm Tournament! I guess we can't call you a beginner anymore! Great, ! You won the Palm Tournament! We'll have to call you Club Champ from now on! Dune Club is a tough desert and mountain course. I've heard loft can help in the Dune Tournament. When your drive increases, control can be a problem. But you need a long drive, so it's one or the other. You need birdies for lower scores. If birdies were a sure thing on long par fives, golf would be easier! You've gotta plan which holes you'll attack and defend. It's true what they say about over- confidence leading to mistakes. You've gotta have a well-laid plan! You placed at Palm Club too? And in no time at all! So, you're now being called Palm Champ, ? Oh, a Club Champ! Playing a Match Game, are you? Dune Club's so tough, you'll need practice rounds. It's ! I heard you placed at Dune Club! Being good enough to place is really amazing! It's ! I heard you won the Dune Tourney! I'm totally shocked that you could win! You placed at Dune Club? Too cool, ! And to think, I thought of you as a rookie! So you've won the Dune Tourney, too? I can't believe someone from Marion Club won the Dune Tournament! Links Club is a sea-side course. Off the fairway it's all heath. Man, it's tough! Golfers who take advantage of Links' two fairway types always win. Balls really run on the odd-colored grass! Once you get both distance and direction down, golf becomes a thinking game. Heath, pot bunkers and serious run make Links Club tough. To make par, you have to plan which holes you'll attack and which you'll try to save. Which holes you'll attack depends on the wind. Even on par fives, you may need to cut with an iron. It's said your own play is the key to a tough course. So you placed at Dune Club, too? Some effort, eh? So, you're Dune Champ, huh, ? You'll take Links, too. You're not far from the so-called Grand Championship. A Club Champ? Playing a Match Game, are you? Everyone who's played Links Club says it's tough! When you see its hard fairways and that heath...Oh! You placed at Links Club? That's great ! If you keep it up, you'll take the Grand Championship! I heard you placed at Links Club. The Grand Championship's in reach, ! Wasn't Links Club tough? The run there really messes with your sense of distance. They say the Links Tournament tries your patience. Just save par and wait for a chance to present itself. To win at Links, you need both chip and roll techniques. Every chance brings risk... that's Links Club! They say whatever creates the wind, created Links. They say something big happens when you make Grand Champ. would be the one to ask. So you placed at Links Club, too. Some effort, eh? DUMMY With a Club Champ? Playing a Match Game are you? Isn't the heath in the Links rough a real pain? No matter how strong you are, you'll need a 7I to get out. Hey! Isn't that Grand Champ, ? Way to go in that Links Club Tournament! Hey, they said you won the Links Club Tournament. Wow! I think that's like, so cool! Finally, Marion Club's produced a Grand Champion! Did you really beat Grand Champ ? All golfers were shooting for . Now, I guess we'll be after you, ! C'mon, quit the modesty act! So you're the one who beat the Links! What do you say you teach me how to attack it? Apparently a lot of Grand Champs have played Mario. But none have been able to beat him. They say Peach's Castle is way up in the clouds... I hear invitations to Peach's Castle come unexpectedly. I hear got one going from Marion to Links. You've come a long way, . Grand Champion is the top! I guess you'll be going to Peach's Castle, . It'd be so cool to play at Peach's Castle... Finished playing today, ? Oh, giving your tired body a rest outside? That always lifts the spirits! Well, take your time! Oh, refreshing yourself before some more training? Hey! Try stopping by other courses in the process! Hey, ! Going outside? Check out other courses, too. It'll improve your game! Once in a while you should play other courses, too. Hey, ! Going outside? Check out other courses, too. It'll improve your game! Once in a while you should play other courses, too. Hey, !

There's a book: "Golf Rules." There's a book: "Strategic Golf." There's a book: "Golf Sayings." I know lower clubs have less control, but dang! Bunker shots don't necessarily have to make the green! Good approach shots can really help your score! It's easy to come up short if you don't use distance clubs in a headwind. In a tailwind, use small clubs...Oh! You know! The Club Champs are here in the lounge today. I want to be a Club Champ so I can hang there too! If you're going up there, you'd better know who's who. Those are all the Club Champs! I'll tell you who's who! Those are all the ex-Club Champs! I'll tell you who's who! The intellectual on the right is Links champ, . He's the best of the Club Champs. The stud next to him is Dune Champ, , the second best! The lady is Palm Champ, . She's next in line. The little guy on the left is . As Marion Champ, he's at the bottom of the ladder. Did you get that? You didn't get it? OK, listen up... If you want to be a Club Champ, know your rivals! Don't forget the ex- Champs you beat in your rise to the top. The intellectual on the right's former Links Champ, . They said he was the best... The stud on his left is the former Dune Champ. 's long drive used to be second best. The woman on the left is former Palm Champ, . Her steady play had her at 3rd, until showed up! The little guy is the former Marion Champ. Come talk to me once you get some confidence! Sure! I'll let you play me! I'm the Club Champ here at Marion Club! Did you learn something from our little game? You won't improve if you don't learn from the Champ. Oh! You can study my game to become a better golfer! Maybe I should let you play me again? Come talk to me once you get some confidence! Sure! I'll let you play me! I'm the former Marion Club Champ. You're Champ now, eh? I guess I thought you were someone else... To think, you stole the championship from me! If it's a Match Game, I won't lose! How about it? Will you try me? So you're just going to run, huh? I'll show you by winning this match! I am , the Marion Club Champ. You beat me in a Match Game, but I'm still Champ! If you're confident in your Match Game, try , the Palm Club Champ. I am the former Marion Club Champ, . I lost to you in the Tournament and a Match Game! You're too good for me. You're the Marion Club Champ, now. DUMMY I'm the former Marion Club Champ. Are you Grand Champ? I'm the Marion Club Champion. Are you the Grand Champ? There's no way I'll lose a match to the Grand Champ! How about it? Will you try me? I'll show you by winning this match! I must have mistaken you for someone else... I am , the Marion Club Champ. You beat me in a Match Game, but I'm still Champ! Hi! I'm , Palm Club Champion. So you beat in a Match Game? Oh, but you look like... You must be good if you beat the Marion Club Champ. How'd you like to try me in a Match Game? I'd be happy to go up against you anytime. Well, , show me what you've got! DUMMY Hi! I'm , Palm Club Champion. That last match was close, wasn't it ? Want to try me again? I'd be happy to go up against you anytime. Then show me just how good you've gotten! Hi! I'm , former Palm Club Champion. Aren't you the one who took my title? Oh, it wasn't you? You're the Club Champ, but how's your Match Game? Won't you play a match with me? Oh, it's OK if you're nervous. We'll do it later. It's time to pay you back for the Tournament. Hi! I'm , the Palm Club Champion. I lost our little match, but there's still the Tournament! If you want another Match Game, see the Dune Club Champ. Hi! I'm the former Palm Club Champ, . I lost the match and my title. Now I'm just another golfer. But don't stop there! You keep right on going! Hi! I'm , Palm Club Champion. You new recruits sure improve quickly! Hi! I'm , the former Palm Club Champion. I'll go up against you in a Match Game anytime. Hi! I'm , the former Palm Club Champion. So, you're the Grand Champion? Hi! I'm , Palm Club Champion.

So, did losing to me bug you? You don't care?!? You're no Champ! Huh-huh! I know that feeling. What about it? Let me do it to you again? Well if you've got no guts, beating means nothing! , you beat , but I'll show you! You're , the new Dune Club Champ, right? D'ya know I'm the guy you stole the title from? Remember this - I'm ... and I'm gonna get that Dune Championship back! You took the Tournament, but now you think you can take me in a Match Game? Then I challenge you! I'll take you in a Match Game any day! All right! Thanks ... Don't think it's the tournament all over again! I'm , the Dune Club Champ. I lost the match, but not the Championship! You beat me, so is next for you! Good luck! Hah! I'm the former Dune Champ, . I lost it all. I'm nothing next to you. Now that you've beaten me, I can't wait to see you play ! I'm , Dune Club Champ. All the Club Champs are here! You're the new Dune Club Champ, , huh? Well, I swear I'll take the Dune Championship back! Aren't you the Grand Champ? Don't you know I'm , the guy you stole the Dune title from? You're Grand Champ , huh? Did you know I'm Dune Club Champ, ? So the Grand Champion wants to play me? You'll play me, ? All right! Don't think it's the Club Tournament all over again! Well remember this... I'm ! I'm the Dune Club Champ! I'm , Dune Club Champ! I may have lost the Match Game, but the Club Championship is different! DUMMY Hello. My name is , Links Club Champ. I see you have beaten and the others, one-by-one. Now that you've beaten them, you're here for me, right? Most regrettable... I hoped to see just what kind of play defeated the others. Splendid! I shall show you the skills and experience of ! DUMMY Hello. My name is , Links Club Champ. , did our match teach you nothing? Your skills cannot defeat me after all. Then I'll play you until you learn. DUMMY My name is , former Links Club Champ. , I've lost the title of Champion to you. Therefore, I must play until my honor is avenged. Will you play me? So now that you're Champion, you're done with matches? I won't dignify such cowardice with a match! Hah! Now you shall repent, insolent title thief! I acknowledge your skills in Match Games... ...but experience shall speak for Club Tournaments! You've won all the match games with the Club Champs! You have no more enemies, . As the best golfer, you shall receive an invitation to Peach's Castle. I wish you luck against Mario in Mario Land. I am , Links Club Champion. I am the greatest of the great! The pleasure's mine.

Therefore, I must play until my honor is avenged. Will you play me? Then let me avenge my title of Links Club Champion! DUMMY My ball rolled off of the mound and into the pond! I told him it's a risk to aim too close to the water. From here, you can watch them make silly mistakes. Mario would never miss a shot like that! The Club Champs are here in the lounge again today. The ex-Club Champs are in the lounge again today. The area up the steps is the Club Champs' hang-out. The seats with the best views are re- served for them. The area up the steps is for the ex-Club Champs. The seats with the best views are reserved for them. Got a second? Tch! I was gonna tell you something! On a bunker shot, I chipped it in. I'm so excited! I topped a bunker shot and it just flew! But it hit the pin and sank! Shots like that keep me hooked! ...so I aim for the green from between these 2 trees. I'm sure I've got it, but it hits a branch and I triple! Got a second? Tch! I was gonna tell you something! When I played Links, my ball kept roll- ing into the rough! A fairway that rolls that much isn't fair at all! Originally, Links Course was created naturally. Humans are power- less before nature. Of all the courses, Links is the only one I hate! I hate the layout and that heath! Got a second? Tch! I was gonna tell you something! At Links Club the heath's so tall, that once you're in it, you can't get out! And that fairway just rolls your ball right into it, too! Distance is cut by the heath but ex- tended by the fair- way. Scores climb when you can't figure distances. ...so in the heath, the grass catches my shaft and spins my head! That's why everyone hits wick- ed hooks & slices! , have you already been to Peach's Castle? You've earned the right. You should go! A course in the clouds...the view must be astounding! You took the Grand Champion title. You've finally reached golf's pinacle of success! You are amazing! Someone finally beat ! I guess all I can do is admit you're the best, even if you're not Marion Club Champ. I guess all I can do is admit you're the best. Be sure to be the first Grand Champ to beat Mario. So you were aiming for Grand Champion the whole time. No wonder you never gave Palm Club a 2nd thought. Congratulations on the Championship, . The way you handle your clubs, I knew you'd take it. You showed 'em in the Links Tournament, . The thing I don't get is why you never took Dune!?! You showed 'em in the Links Tournament, . Now I want to see you beat Mario! I've failed, . You have bested me. Surely you'll be invited to meet Mario. I challenged Mario many times, yet victory eluded me. You may be able to defeat him. Yes! Defeat him for me! The former Club Champs used to hang out in the lounge. The area up the steps was for former Club Champs. Marion Club Director's Office Hello, ! It's your 1st day as our student! Follow our advice, and you'll be a great golfer! Now, , let me introduce the club's staff. I'm the pro here at Marion Club. Nice to meet you. The golf master, Mario, is the idol of all golfers.

Your next goal is the Dune Club Tournament. The Club Champ, , is famous for his drive. You placed in the Palm Club Tournament, too? Won't you be wanting the Club Champ title, too?

You've proven your skills by winning Palm's Tournament. Our expectations for you just keep rising! , Palm Club's Champ, is a skilled golfer. Beating her for the win really means something! I hear you won the Palm Club Tournament. Now, polish your skills and take the Dune Club Championship. You've already placed at Dune? Great, ! The only course left for you is Links Club! Placing in Dune's Tournament is incredible, ! Now you can enter the Links Tournament! Placed in Dune's Club Tournament, eh, ? Your final object- ive is the Links Club Tournament! You placed in the Dune Club Tournament, too? Won't you be wanting the Club Champ title, too? As Champ, you sure performed at Dune Club! I'm amazed that you beat to become Club Champ! Links Club's Champ, , is the Grand Champion. Beating in Dune's Club Tour- nament's something else! You'll beat at Links Club at that pace! 's long drive is a fearsome weapon.

Fear not the outcome, but face Mario, you must. Good luck in Peach's Tournament, Grand Champ! We're expecting your best round yet at Peach's Tournament. Fulfill the golf- ers' dream - win Peach's Tournament! Congratulations on beating Mario, ! I've put your victory trophy in the Memorial Room. , when the golfers hear of your victory, you'll be a hero! That day will come very soon. Even a pro like me can't beat the one who beat Mario. Perhaps you'll become an idol for all golfers. So, you already beat Mario! Our greatest wish is now fulfilled! You have achieved every golfer's dream! Our pro doesn't look too happy. No, I think it's amazing beat Mario. Then why are you so quiet? Wasn't defeating Mario every golfer's dream? But now that 's done it, what happens to that dream? Golf with no dream is no golf at all. Surely golf with no dream loses its appeal. But we should be happy beat Mario... So you mean that has... I can understand both sides. To realize a dream is a wonderful thing... but to lose a dream altogether is a tragedy. What if... what if we cover it up for a while? Isn't it better to let it leak out slowly? Perhaps. It'd reduce the golfers' shock. And we'll save 's reputation, too! That's brilliant! OK, ? You've worked hard to become the one to beat Mario. I'm sorry to do this, but can you keep it a secret? Please be patient. We'll make it known in due time. Thank you for understanding. Congratulations on your victory. I've put your trophy in the Memorial Room. , when the golfers hear of your victory, you'll be a hero! That day will come very soon. Even a pro like me can't beat the one who beat Mario! Perhaps you'll become every golfer's idol. The director's Cookbooks are here. The director's mountain climbing books are here. thought of a pendulum swing! There's a book: "The Great Golf Encyclopedia." There's a book: "Dictionary of Course Layout." There's a book: "Complete Management Guide." There's a book: "History of Marion Club Tournament." There's a book: "Breaking the 100 Barriers!" There's a book: "Golf Rules for Beginners." There's a book: "Modern Golf Principles." There's a book: "Road to the Singles." It's a picture of every golfer's idol, Mario. Marion Club Director's Office If your level increases, extend your drive first. Long drives are one of golf's many charms. Maintain balance. Drive is important, but so is control. A wide meet area means fewer missed shots. The golf master, Mario, is my idol! My dream is to play a round with him. That stupid bunker! Hmph! On a duff it's "Nice Shank!" ...or so they say. Three putts ain't par! ...or so they say. I'm just a novice golfer. I don't know anything. I'm about to change. Ask me later. LEAVE ME ALONE! Hee-yah! took 562 points of damage! ...That's how bad it hurt. Mario's the hero of the golf world, but Peach, Bowser, Yoshi, DK, Baby Mario and Luigi are all good, too. Who cares about aim? I just love to hammer balls! Shooting from the rough is easy with a wide meet area. I wish I could get a high, soaring shot on approach with my SW. I know, I'll raise my trajectory! If you only focus on increasing your drive, you'll ruin your form. That's why control gets worse! Having the longest drive is a huge advantage. But if aim concerns you, then a long drive is not for you. There are 14 driver shots in a round but at least 22 iron shots. You know which to practice! To make good iron shots, you need a fade, right? The longer your drive, the higher your shot is. High balls are suscep- tible to wind - a major problem. There's a limit to what spin can do to your trajectory. You should pay attention to your shot's height, too. For those strong winds at Links, use a low shot. Strong ocean winds are a shock the first time around. You've improved a lot, . Now, improve your drive and other skills to become a perfect golfer. Changing trajec- tories based on the course your playing is the fun of improving. Doesn't using spin expose the ball to wind shifts? If you use run to attack the green, use a low trajectory.

It's so unfair! I was supposed to be the one to beat ! You were amazing in the tournament, ! WOW! Once you see 's power, you'll lose all hope!

I'm extending my drive just for that purpose! Look at 's physique... He's so macho! 's tee shot was amazing! Today's winner will have to go through him first! What is it about 's golf? Can you really get that score with just a long drive? I can't hit like Tiny, so my focus is on accuracy. Getting the longest drive is hard, but I should have a chance at getting closest to the pin. They say you can meet Mario when you become Grand Champ. When you're Grand Champ, you can meet Mario... I'll be the one to beat and nobody else! If you play well but don't make par, it's your technique. So you placed? I'm a trifle annoyed, but... congratulations. You reached the peak, Grand Champ ! From now on, you'll be everyone's objective!

Keep right on refining your technique! Are you having fun, ? Just watching you inspires me to work harder. It really does! Yo! ! How's it going? I'm on your side! got a 1-UP Mushroom! Practice here? Keep practicing? quit practicing. Huh? You wannna know what I'm doin'? When you're close to the green, use an approach shot to hit with control. It can improve your score. Lie determines the proper approach technique to use. Do you know the pitch and putt technique? This shot is a base for approach shots. You should try it with all your clubs. It's a chip shot, the basis for approach. Learning other techniques after mastering it leads to success! The condition of the ball and the ground will affect the approach. Consider lie and the green's slope when you hit. Did you think approach shots only used the SW or PW? That's OK at first, but you can't attack with a wedge. Use different clubs and try shooting for the pin! Learning that in such a short time is impressive. Do you know how to put spin on a ball? Try it on approach with something besides a putter. Use the + Control Pad after the Shot Gauge begins moving. Press up to make the ball roll. Press down to make it stop quickly. Putting spin on the ball makes the approach fun. Using backspin means its all up to you! Avoid hazards as best you can. But if you always avoid them, you'll never get a birdie, so practice up! Is spin helping your approach? Yeah, it really helps. Spin shots are helpful. Can you do one? They're tough at first... It takes getting used to. After the Shot Gauge starts moving, press the + Control Pad before the gauge stops. Up will make the ball roll, and down will make it stop more quickly. I hear there's a mysterious club maker out there. If you see any odd terrain, check it out. It's best to shoot thinking you'll miss the green. If you miss and get a bad lie, you can't save par. You must not shoot on top or to the side of a hill! A tiny problem on a tough approach can end it. Are spin shots actually helping your approach? It sure does help. Spin shots are helpful. Can you do one? Press the + Control Pad while the shot gauge is moving. Press up to make the ball roll. Press down to put backspin on the ball. They're tough at first... It takes getting used to. I hear there's a strange club employee out there. If you see any odd terrain, check it out. It'd be amazing if you became Grand Champion! To beat Grand Champ is every golfer's goal. Everyone's trying to be like you. That's because you can enter the the Links Tournament. If , the rookie, can make it, so can we! Shooting for a downhill pin from out of the rough and behind a mound is a hard approach. Want to try me? Aw! I wanted to play someone who placed at Links! I can get within 3 yards 7 times out of 10. If you get within 3 yards more than 7 times, you win. Omigosh! You did it times out of ! Too bad! You only did it times out of . You win, . My approach is no match for yours. My approach is no match for yours. I won! , you should practice! Cutting across a hill is a tough approach. I bet I can beat you at this approach. How about it? Well, if not this time, let's do it another time. I can get within 3 yards 7 times out of 10. If you can do it more than 7 times, you win. Ready? You're good, ! Out of tries, you made ! Oh, ! Only times out of ? That's for you. I lose. With your approach, I'd reach the top! With your approach, I'd reach the top! I win, . Come see me after a little practice. Let me congratulate you on the Grand Championship. With that, I declare that I will take it from you. Everyone's got their eyes on you. Beating the Grand Champion is every golfer's dream! One of these days, , I'm going to beat you! Shooting for a downhill pin from out of the rough and behind a mound is a hard approach. Want to try me? Aw, I wanted to see what the Grand Champ could do! I can get within 3 yards 7 times out of 10. If you get within 3 yards more than 7 times, you win. Omigosh! You did it times out of ! Too bad! You only did it times out of . You win, . My approach can't even compare to yours. Your approach doesn't even compare to mine. I won! , you should practice! Say hi to Peach for me if you go to the castle. With your skills, I could be Grand Champion! I use running in my approach. Want me to teach you? The lower the club, the more the ball rolls. When choosing a club, consider run from the green edge. Running is easier when there are no obstacles within 60Y of the green. Use a 3I to 9I to approach the green! When aiming for the pin from a clear spot, use run! First, choose an approach, then a club. Use a 5I to carry the ball to the green and roll it in. See? It's simple! Want to try? First, choose an approach. Next, choose a club. OK. Now shoot! At first it's tough. But it's useful, so practice hard! You've got the idea. Try putting spin on it, too. To practice on your own, just pick a spot. What do you know!?! Using a putter to approach! I'm using a chip approach. Want to learn it? Chip shots use carry and run to approach. The theory is to attack using carry and run. If obstacles are within 60Y of the green, you can't roll on. Instead, carry it to the green and then roll. In these conditions, use a chip shot. You need a 20Y carry to get 1 putt away and save par. First, choose an approach, then a club. I'm gonna use a pitching wedge. Did you get that? Want to try? First, choose an approach. Next, choose a club. OK, shoot! It's tough. A sense of distance is the key! Good job! I have to practice to keep up! I don't think any shot's easy at first. Try hard! You're likely to use the chip shot, so practice it a lot. I'm practicing a bunker shot. Interested? With a bunker shot, you explode sand to free the ball. That technique is called an explosion. You need the right club to explode sand and free the ball. For a bunker guarding the green, use your SW. A bunker that guards the green is a guard bunker. From ball to pin, I'd say it's about 20Y. First, choose an approach. Next, choose a club. Carry it 15Y and roll it 5Y. I'll try it with a SW. See? It's simple. Want to try? First, select an approach. Then, choose a club. OK, shoot! It's hard at first, so keep practicing. Yeah, you've got it. Try putting spin on it, too. To practice on your own, choose a spot and swing! I'm trying running approaches on sloped greens. Getting a sense of distance is hard. Want to try? Choose a club to match the distance from ball to green. It'll help you get a sense for putting on sloped greens. On a sloped green, try to get a sense of the distance to be climbed. Also keep in mind that you can't calculate the run from the fairway. That's a serious climb from the ball to the pin. If I don't get my ball up that hill, I won't make par. First, check the distance. Then a club, but... It's only 2Y to the green edge, so I'll use a putter. Got it? Do you want to try? First, check the distance. Then, choose a club. OK. Shoot! I guess it's hard. A sense for dis- tance is the key. Hey, you're good! I'm gonna train, so I won't lose! On a sloped green, getting the ball to the same level as the pin is a successful putt. You can't approach a pin at the near end of a green that's guarded by a hazard, right? Huh? Can you do a lob shot, ? Yeah, I need to master that, too. I wish I could get the ball right to the pin on those shots. You can with a lob shot. Approaching a pin that's 5Y from a guard bunker is a tough shot, but a 20Y lob shot puts you right there! First, select an approach. Next, choose a club. I want a 20Y carry and a 5Y run. I'll use my SW. Start the cursor, then press down on the + Control Pad for backspin. Hmm, not bad! Want to try? First, select an approach. Next, choose a club. OK. Give it a try! It's a tough but necessary shot, so practice up! You missed 'cause you didn't use backspin. You should practice putting spin on the ball. You did it! You're a quick learner! Use the spot over there to practice on your own. Aiming for the pin from below a steep climb to the green is hard. You can't save par then, right? If you don't think it's hard, you must be good. To attack, roll the ball to the pin. Use a high ball, and you'll end up with a big miss. The 10Y from ball to green is flat, but the next 10Y... It's 5Y from there to the pin, so it has to stop there. First, select an approach. Next, choose a club. I can't judge how the fairway rolls, so an iron is best. A 7I's low shot can carry it and roll it up the green. Did you get that? Want to try? First, select an approach. Next, select a club. OK. Shoot! It's hard. A sense of distance is the key. Nice job! Try this shot with topspin, too. On sloped greens, just nearing the pin is fine. Hey! You did it! And with a putter! You did that 'cause I said I needed an iron, didn't you? Going over a mound from the rough to a downhill pin is hard. If the pin's close on an angled line...No way, eh? If you can make that, you can make anything! Don't be pressured by hard approaches, but approach so you can still try an uphill putt even if you miss. It's almost impos- sible to get to the pin, but I'll try. Find the line, and hit a soft ball to stop near the pin. First, choose an approach. Next, choose a club. Carry the ball up the mound and roll it to approach. Use the PW and put backspin on the ball. There! Now I can hole out in 1 putt. Want to try? First, select an approach. Next, choose a club. OK. Give it a try. It's a real delicate shot, so keep trying. It didn't work 'cause you didn't use backspin. Practice putting spin on the ball. Wow! You did it! You've got it! Use that spot there to practice on your own. Cutting across a steep slope is hard, don't ya think? It takes an eye to read lines... You've got it! Reading the ball's line is the key to that shot. High shots need better aim, so they're tough. So, carry it to the green and roll with the slope! First, select an approach. Then, choose a club. You want carry and run to be about the same. I think a 5I with no spin should work well. I think I can make that slope in 1 putt. Want to try? First, choose an approach. Next, choose your club. OK. Hit the ball. Yeah, it's tough. Your power and the line are key. Hey-hey! Nice work! Try it with topspin, too. If you can get below the pin, that's great! Try again? Want to try again? Want to practice here? Keep practicing? quit practicing. Lesson character. Do you know what you need for a good shot? You have to adjust your aim according to the ball's lie. Distance isn't enough for a good shot. A plan of attack for each hole and good shots are key! Sometimes, you can't use a 1W 'cause of trees and hazards. You just have to do it with a short club. It's a good idea to learn terms for different shots. For a rightie, curving left is a hook, while right is a slice. You want to drive the ball farther? Then master a high shot to use with tailwinds. Then you like accuracy more? Then use a low shot in headwinds - it'll be affected less. An accurate shot is one of golf's basic principles. But that kind of shot takes diligent practice. If your tee shot's right on, hazards are no sweat. But if not, adjust your impact point to compensate. Power shots are limited, so don't use 'em all up. Make a perfect power shot and you won't lose it. Can you hit farther now? I'm jealous. But hitting farther means less control. Do you want to hit farther? Don't forget, a long drive is every golfer's dream. Amazing! You know a moderate drive means steady scores. Assess worst-case scenario risk on trouble shots. If you don't miss on trouble shots, you can come back. Putting your mind to it tends to work quite well. , can you hit a hook and a slice? Yeah, as much as you've played, you should be able to. Experience is all it takes, so don't rush yourself. Obviously, trouble shots are really tough shots. Since they're so hard, you can't make them every time. Don't give up if there's any chance at all. I wonder when got such a good shot? Just don't mis- hit, and you'll avoid trouble. But whatever trouble you're in, just be confident. Aim for a spot on green that's easy to putt from. If it's a straight line, you just might sink it. Want to see who's best at shooting from the trees? I'm confident I can make this trouble shot. I wanted to com- pete against some- one of your level. Whoever gets out of the woods and closest to the pin wins. I'll go first. A SW is good for just getting out of the woods. But to get on green, I'll gamble on a longer club. Normal power should work. I'll use side- and backspin to curve it past the trees and onto the green. It's tough. No mis-hitting! Hmm, not max-power, but it'll work. OK. Your shot! Hmmm, you're closer than me. Dang! You win! You're farther away! You lose! Master trouble shots, or you've no chance of winning. Master trouble shots, or you've no chance of winning. ! Wanna see who can hit an "eyeball" the best? Come try me if you win the Links Club Tournament. OK. Aim for that green from this bunker. You can't use just any shot to get on green from here. However you do it, closest to the pin wins. Me first! Hmm... Not too bad. OK. Your turn. Yes! That was great! All right. Now it's your turn! Tch! You're closer than me. Well, I guess you win. YAY-HEY! You're farther away, so you lose this match. I'll practice some more and try you again. I'll practice some more and try you again. Congrats on winning the Links Championship. Practicing after making Grand Champ... You're dedicated! The Grand Champ has the privilege of entering Peach's Tournament. I hear Mario's not the only expert! Winning Peach's Tournament proves you're the best. Some champs get stuck-up and quit practicing after reaching the top. But you're here, so I know you're not like them. You beat , so you're the best right now. I can't wait to see how your match with Mario turns out. I'm practicing driver tee shots. Want to see? It applies to any shot, but be wary of height on long drives. In a head- wind, you'll lose distance. The more strategic the course, the sharper your aim should be on the tee shot. Even if the fairway seems open, you have to know your target. Thinking in real terms, my 2nd shot should land here. But if I want to use this tailwind, I should hit high. First, choose a club. On a 4- or 5-par hole, a 1W should be fine for me. I gain distance with a power shot, so I'll use that. This is real practice. Want to try? First, choose a club. Next, choose a power shot. OK, give it a try! If you're not used to power tee shots, it takes practice. I think that's OK normally, but try for more accuracy. WOW! A perfect power shot! You're talented! For a wood shot, practice with normal power first. Once you can do those, work on your power shots. Hey, NICE SHOT! You've got talent! I'm doing iron shots. Want to watch me practice? An iron is an offensive club for attacking the green. Shorter irons are more accurate for an easier approach. The 1I, 2I and wedges are used based on their distances. Irons with loft are easily affect- ed by wind, so club selection's important. Watch! I'm aiming for the green. Normal power is enough for accu- rate iron shots. Next, select a club. In a tailwind, I use one club lower than normal. Getting on with the 2I was lucky. Want to try? First, choose a club, but consider the wind. Next, choose your power. Isn't normal fine? OK. Now swing. Passing the green on an iron shot means trouble. Try practicing some more. Long iron shots are tough, but get closer to the pin. You have an amazing sense for distance and direction! Practice iron shots by aiming for the middle of the green. Shooting for the pin's too risky, so start off easy. Eh? I'm working on intentional shots. Yeah, purposely curving my shot. Want to try? If you're right behind a tree, you can't aim for the green, right? With a hook or slice you can. Try it! On harder courses, if you can't hook and slice, you won't make score. Intentional shots help if you're stuck between traps. That tree blocks you from getting a good lie from here. You could hit a high ball, but try sidespin. You need accuracy, so just use normal power. Next, select a club. Use the 1W for distance from the tee, as usual. Once the cursor starts moving, immediately press the + Control Pad in the direction opposite the one in which you wish the ball to curve. Keep holding the + Control Pad until impact. OK. It went well. So, will you try? There's another way to do it, though. Move your impact left or right to trade distance for curvature. First, select Normal Power. Next, choose a club. OK. Hit it! Timing's key with intentional shots, so keep trying. That much deviation is enough. Try it on the course. It's supposed to be tough, but you did it! Nice job! You hit a tree but still curved it in! Very nice! You didn't touch the + Control Pad... That's why. Keep trying until you get used to using sidespin. Keep trying until you can easily shoot around trees. I'm practicing wind shots. Want to study with me? Use lower clubs in tailwinds and higher ones in headwinds. If you ever hit it right but didn't get to the pin, it's probably 'cause you didn't gauge the wind. If your club only gets you to the middle of the green, you'll come up short. But a higher club puts you over, so you have to consider strength, too. For an accurate iron shot, normal power is fine. Next, choose a club. It looks like a headwind. I'll try a bigger club. Hmm! Pretty good! My club selection was right - that's why! OK. Do you want to try? In a tailwind, use a smaller club, so you don't overshoot. First, normal power should do. Now choose a club. Use something a little bigger. OK. Give it a try. Keep practicing, so you won't over- shoot the green. The secret to strong winds is adjusting clubs and power. You have a good iron shot. Getting that close is OK! In theory, you attack a two-tiered green from head-on. But if there's a hazard, isn't it dangerous? You think it's easy, ? Hmm, I guess it's hard for me 'cause I'm not so good. Avoid the hazard by aiming for the back of the green. Hit a high ball right at the pin. It should work. It's impossible to approach this kind of hole with a standard shot, so try dropping right down onto the pin. Normal power should be fine. Next, choose a club. Once the gauge starts moving, press down on the + Control Pad. Keep holding the + Control Pad until impact. That was so-so. Want to try? First, choose a club. Next, set your power to normal. OK. Give it a try. Just hold the + Control Pad down. Keep practicing. That's it! Polish your technique to get closer. That's great for such a hard shot! You have talent! You can use high trajectories in many situations. Landing in the trees on a missed shot is trouble. Want to learn a good recovery shot for that situation? Usually, you curve left or right to avoid an obstacle, but there's actually another route. You can use a slice or hook, but there's another way. You can try shooting over or under the trees. Usually, you can't get to the green through trees, but you might be able to if you use a low trajectory. First, choose your shot, but... power shots fly higher, so use normal power. Next, choose a club. Big clubs are best for low trajectories, so use a 2I. If I could hit it over there, that'd be great. Now it's your turn, OK? First, you want to hit with normal power. Now choose a club. In light rough, a 3W or bigger is trouble. You can't go wrong with a 2I or thereabouts. OK. Let's see it! Hmm...You didn't get it onto the fairway...This is a trouble shot, so you have to get back to the fairway. That's really good for a trouble shot! On trouble shots, consider all possibilities before choosing your shot. Oh! You landed on the next fairway over! It's fine if you land on the fair- way, but... Land in the trees, and you should settle for a bogey, but sometimes you can risk going for the green, right? Anyone who misses wants to do whatever it takes to recover. I can't always ignore that feeling. For high risk shots, you should just play it safe, but sometimes you have to take risks in competition. Use a SW if you're just trying to get out of the woods, but consider all the options if you want the green. Normal power should do. Now choose a club. I'm curving towards the green to get out of the trees and on green. As soon as the gauge moves, press the + Control Pad to curve the ball. You have to hold it until impact. See! I'm on the green and can try for a birdie. Want to try? First, choose your shot. Next, choose a club. OK. Hit the ball. You're not hitting straight, so don't hurry. That's it. Refine your technique to get closer. That's great for such a hard shot. You learn quickly! On these shots, consider all options, then shoot. When it's buried in sand, the meet area gets smaller. When the pressure is on, aren't birdies tough? Nice shots aren't easy if the meet area is small. You have think of these shots as a gamble. To approach the green, you have to take a risk. Keep that in mind as you listen to me. You lose distance when the ball's buried in sand. But you can get a birdie with just a little distance. When shooting a long drive, a nice shot means success. You need distance to approach the green, so use power. Now choose a club. If it's buried in sand, a 2I is the best choice. OK. Here I go. There, I did it. Don't worry about the bunker, just swing. Now it's your turn, OK? First comes power. For more distance choose a power shot. Next, choose your club and be bold about it. OK. Stay focused and swing. Oops, it didn't go so well... If you worry about the meet area, you'll miss. You got out of the bunker, but didn't make the green. Next time, get on the green. That's really good for a trouble shot. Watch your timing when the meet area is small. Good. Refine your technique to get closer to the pin. It's you. Do you know the saying: "Putting has no form?" But you have to reach the cup. It'll never sink, otherwise. It means that to sink the ball, any form is fine. The arrows on the green point downhill. Read the arrows to see where the ball will roll. Balls roll downhill quickly, so putt softly. If you can, hit it harder when putting uphill! My dream is to win the Club Tournament. Becoming Club Champ is the greatest honor. They say Mario's putting is unbelievable! If only I could putt like Mario... I'd lower my score! Never up, never in - climb the hill to reach the pin! He was stepping over my putting line! It's better than stepping on it, but what manners! Huh? If you want, I'll move my marker. Who's dragging their feet as they walk on the green? You have to fix any damage done by your spikes! I don't get to putt first, so... Wait a second, let me mark my ball. You play golf in groups, so don't impose on others! If you just read the lines, you won't take so long. Have your hands ever quit working when addressing a putt? Why are my hands shaking? Shaky hands when putting is called yips, but me?!? I have the habit of not paying attention to my putt. I've already lost 3 strokes because of it! The say half of your score comes from putting. You should spend as much time on putts as the pros! Never up, never in. No matter how good my putt is, I can't seem to reach the cup! The harder the course, the harder the greens. I just can't understand complicated lines. Putting up and across a slope is tough. If I can, I want my uphill putts to be straight. A person's putt depends on their personality. Aggressive people bounce in from the far lip. People who putt the exact distance to the cup are putting masters. The final roll barely carries it in. Some people use a putter from near the green, but distance is the problem. Experience tells all when it comes to sloped putts. Even after making Grand Champion, your goal of defeating Mario still lies before you. The undulations on greens on Peach's course are huge. Don't think you've mastered golf just because you're Grand Champ. Golf's an endless battle with the elements. In golf, course conditions change depending on wind and pin position. You never get the same ones twice. You can't overcome undulated greens with putting alone. You have to be able to position it on the green. I'm no master like Mario, but my putting's great! How about it? Will you take me on? Did you win the Club Tournament? Did you place in the Club Tournament? Hmph! Then who? How about it? Can you take me on? I thought we could play together... OK. Let's do it. I can hit that circle 7 times out of 10. If you do it 7 or more times, you win! Let's go! Omigosh! Out of , you made ! Aw, too bad. Out of , you made . You're something else, !

They say once you pick up golf, you'll never quit. Even here there are total golf fanatics! And they've begun aiming for the strongest! Aiming for that target from that tee isn't practice! I'll acknowledge your skill if you hit the target from here. Hmph! Today's golfers have no tenacity! Pity! You're all wrong! I'm telling you, you have to shoot from here! Tch! Today's golfers are pitiful! You're good for one so young! I'm thoroughly impressed by your golf skills! Keep up that pace and perfect your swing! Golf is in your blood! You shall be a master! Come see me when you are confident in your powers. Your studies are lacking. Earn more experience! The door is locked. Shoot from here? Hmm, you improved! Are you going to show me how much? This target is slightly different from the last. Shoot from here. It takes a fine golfer to sink it. Don't you get it? I'm telling you it's here! Hmph! You're something else! By the way, is your shot a fade? Mmm...I could tell just by watching your form. If you like, I'll change your fade into a draw... You only get one chance... Shall I change your shot? By the way, is your shot a draw? Mmm...I could tell just by watching your form. If you like, I'll change your draw into a fade... You only get one chance... Shall I change your shot? Changed your mind? Came to change your shot? I'll only do it once. Shall I make your fade a draw? Your shot has been changed from a fade to a draw! I'll only do it once. Shall I make your draw a fade? Your shot has been changed from a draw to a fade! If you change your mind, let me know. I'm always here. Mario's equal, eh? When you're better than that, I'll be watching you. Keep training and don't regress! Great! Now for the next challenge! Those darn kids! Balls everywhere! Won't anyone help me pick up these balls? Can you do me a favor? Yeah, whoever hit the balls all over should clean up. I want you to hit these balls into that circle. See? Get 'em in the circle, like this! But don't take too long...I'm pretty impatient. You're too slow. Tch. I'll do these. You do the next bunch! No help at all...! Mmm, those are fine. I'll do the rest. We finally finished! Come and help me next time, too. OK? We did it! Thank you so much! Amazing! You could manage this place! Want to try? I thought so. Too bad. You've got what it takes! But you really did help me out! Thank you! Yes! I'm so happy! Now you clean up instead of me! See you around. HAH! Just kidding! Didn't mean to scare you. Thank you for your help! I clean, then they mess it up! It makes me sick! Want to play? Just like I said, it's all rhythm! Ah, no good. But unplayables are the absolute worst! I'm begging you, please. Give up. But I can get on green from here! "What am I doing?" His tee shot landed over here. Every time I shoot for the green, I dunk it... So call it unplay- able and mulligan, or give up, right? No! No! NO! There's got to be a way to do this! But, you're in the rough, so your wood won't reach, right? A power hitter's one thing, but you can only hit 130Y. Don't you think? You think so, too? See! Give up! Then let's see you try it! Maybe it's impossible? Keep trying? Then go to it! Yup. Give up! HAH! See! It can't be done! I guess not... Awesome shot! You can make it from here!?! But I don't think I could make that. NICE ON! You can do it like that!?! Here I go! You did it! I did it! Thanks! You showed me the way! Well, let's hole out before we lose daylight! Gimme back my hat, you stupid crow! I'm gonna get that hat back! OH! You idiot! The crow's flying away! AH! It went off to eat my hat! Oh! That dang crow! It's gone again! If the ball hits the pin, it should scare the crow and make it drop my hat. Can't you get my hat back? Hey! The crow came back! Now's your chance to get it! Play from here? It dropped my hat. You did it! YES! You got my hat back from the crow! Now I can finally go home! Thank you! I'll never forget you! Will someone please come play with us? We want to play the Dune Club course... We need another member to play an alternate game... Hey, you entered the Dune Club Tournament, right? I'm terrible, so I can only play if my partner's good. They'd let me play with someone who placed. I thought so! Will you play with me? Please! Yeah, I'm just a liability. Really? Awright! We can play alternate rules! A team of 2 takes turns hitting the same ball, OK? This low-level player is hoping for an upset. When you're as good as , there's no denying it! With a champ like , there is no denying it! Please start now. We can play Dune Club, thanks to . Yeah, thanks a lot! Compete by taking turns hitting one ball. Will you start, ? OK then, me first? We lost... But it was fun! Plus, we got to play Dune Club! Let's play alternate rules again! OK, let's go. It's a tie... But it was fun! Plus, we got to play Dune Club! Let's play alternate rules again! OK, let's go. We won! We won, thanks to ! It's all your doing! Thanks, ! I can't believe it! Nice win, . Let's practice, so we don't lose to again. Hey, ! Thanks for the other day. That was really fun! Want to play again? ...Aw, alright. Maybe next time. Yeah? All right! Which rules, stroke or match? ...maybe next time. Will you test your skills on this short course? Get on in 1 stroke and sink it with 1 putt on each hole! Only Mario's got- ten on in one on every hole... Wanna try stroke play on this short course? So, what did you shoot? Hmm...Looks like it didn't go well. Today's golfers have a ways to go. Oh-hoh! You made it on in one on every hole! But not being able to hole out with 1 putt hurts. Oh-hoh! Shooting is great! But not getting on in one doesn't cut it. Why, ! You got on in one and shot a ! That's amazing! Today's golfers give it their all! You've equaled Mario, ! You can play here anytime! So, will you play? The coaches here are first rate! Coach's eye turned my slice into a long-distance hook! If you want to improve, get the coaches' opinions. You've got good distance for an amateur. You've got a strong hook with a high trajectory. If you want to compete, you need more distance. Fix that hook, and lower your trajectory. You want your shot judged?
