How to play Mini Golf
Make Mini Golf your next activity in the game library. Sink all three holes within twelve strokes per hole. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Compare the starting position with the example in the Guide. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
Three original obstacle courses; wall bounces and friction.
A careful first round
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Make the next step deliberately.
Your goal
Sink all three holes within twelve strokes per hole. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
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. Look at the feedback after the action.
A useful example
A soft final putt can sink where a fast crossing would not. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Keep the game’s format in mind.
Watch out for this
The hole accepts only a sufficiently slow ball. Compare the situation with the worked example. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
