An idea for your next attempt
Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules. Use the example to check your reasoning.
What the game asks you to do

The steps to play
- Aim a stopped ball.
- Set power and putt.
- Wait until it stops before another shot.
- Use Next hole after sinking.
How your actions work
Touch aim, angle/power sliders and Putt. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Look at the feedback after the action.
An example to follow
A soft final putt can sink where a fast crossing would not. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Check the stated objective.
Watch out for this
The hole accepts only a sufficiently slow ball. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
