WhiteShadow Takes the Lead!
WhiteShadow carded an unreal 38.99 in the Charity Challenge! He’s the first one to beat Sammy! I would imagine that his palms were a little sweaty as he lined up his shot on #9. Great job WhiteShadow!!
Let’s see if anyone can take over the #1 spot from him…
WhiteShadow was kind enough to offer some tips to let everyone know how he plays the game. I think many of you will find these helpful.
WhiteShadow’s Top 5 Tips
1. Practice the Perfect Swing – there’s no penalty for whiffing. Let the green bar run through without clicking to help get your timing focused for the Perfect Swing.
2. Skip Holes, Restart and Take Notes – skip holes you’ve already mastered to work on others. Since you can’t “really” skip a hole, just swing quick without worrying about score and move on to the next hole. Take notes vigorously. Note the wind club, stance, spin, swing and shot quality – distance to the pin and perfect swing mark. Like whiffing, there’s no penalty for restarting. Use Restart to quickly exit a bad round when you’re shooting for the low score.
3. #4 – with the wind at 2 MPH left-to-right, position arrow to the left of the pin by about one pin-length while in green view, move ball up about half-a-tick mark in your stance, set full backspin and take a full swing with the 2 Hybrid. You should be within a few feet every time, if not a hole-in-one.
4. #7 – with any wind, use the PW, full backspin and ball all the way up in your stance. Depending on the right-to-left wind strength, position the arrow further and further right of the pin. For example 3MPH position in the middle of the fringe off to the right, 4MPH a little further and so on. You’d be surprised how far right you need to position the arrow for 6MPH. Take a full swing and don’t get worried when you hear a heartbeat.
5. Turn the sound off if you are at work!
