How to play Mini Golf

Three original obstacle courses; wall bounces and friction.
Review a difficult moment
When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round. Use the example to check your reasoning.
Your goal
Sink all three holes within twelve strokes per hole. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
Step by step
- Aim a stopped ball.
- Set power and putt.
- Wait until it stops before another shot.
- Use Next hole after sinking.
Controls
Touch aim, angle/power sliders and Putt. Use the control method described here for this activity. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
A useful example
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. Verify the rule before continuing.
Watch out for this
The hole accepts only a sufficiently slow ball. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
