    Can we build one? Is there a guaranteed method for a hole-in-one on each hole? I stopped playing it before I figured out single shots for each hole. So here is a start - my terminology for the dots is that dot 1 is the dot furthest from the putter - dot six is the closest to the putter. Hole 1: Placement: Set the ball in the bottom left corner. Shot: Set dot two to on the brown edging on the right hand side of the narrow portion just above the black line of the horizontal edge below. Bingo. Dave Huff 'tis a silly place!

          I have a strategy that works always for 16 of the 18 holes. There are two that I get once in a while. Needs more careful observation as to what I did when I get a hole in one on these. Thomas

                I use a "positioning" factor. I set the ball down in the same place each time and use the finger pointer in an exact place OR the little balls that mark the strength of your shot to get the hole in one. Example: Hole #2 Click on the center of the bottom cup to place ball. Put your finger pointer on the right edge of the left wood barrier. Make sure your power line is parallel to the bottom wall. Hole #3 Click on the center of the cup to place ball. Put your pointer in the position in which the outer most "power" marker is aligned with the first grey wall. Make sure your power line is parallel to the side walls. Hole #4: Place your ball in the upper-right corner of the "drop pad." Look at the "walking stones" on the left of the course. Look at the 4th one away (clockwise) Notice the white border on the top and place the tip of the pointer finger on the bottom left border of the WHITE as illustrated:

                       \_\_\_\_\_\_
                

                there_____/ \
                | |
                \______/

                Hole #5: Place your ball in the upper left corner of the pad. Put your pointer in the position where the 2nd from the last ball of the power line is in the bottom right corner of the large grey wall

                      My screen isn't big enough to pull that off. Try this tho: Place the ball in the upper left corner. Place the BOTTOM EDGE of your hand (wrist area) where I display:

                      ^ This is the left edge!

                      Make sure the left ege of the hand aligns with the right edge of the left wall. (get it?) and the bottom edge of your wrist (black pixels) aligns with top edge (black pixels) of the top wall. Before you shoot! Move the hand down 1 pixel! Now shoot.

                            The IE window I mean. Do not maximize. Put it in normal mode and then resize the IE window such that the vertical size is made smaller than what you have now, keeping the horizontal size same. Not the resolution. I have a 1024 x 768 screen. Thomas
