This FAQ is for the SMS Completion Project on GameFAQs. Our goal is to write a guide for every SMS game that doesn't already have one. If you're having trouble with this game, I hope this FAQ will help you out. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright Information [COPYR] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This may be not be reproduced under any circumstances except for personal, private use.

You play each hole and add up your scores at the end. The one with the lowest total score wins. Easy huh? Match Play ---------- Match Play is a little different the Stroke Play. When one person scores better on a hole than the other person, the person wins the hole. The only way to win is to win individual holes. If you tie on a hole, the score is unchanged and you move on to the next hole. The person who won more holes wins. If you have a tie, you go to extra holes. The first to win a hole wins the whole match. ================= The Swing [SWING] ================= Once on the tee, press Button 2 to choose your club. More than likely you'll be hitting a 1W off the tee. Press Button 2 again to choose your stance. This doesn't really affect the shot in this game, so just move on. Now, you need to aim your shot. Remember to look at the wind in the upper left-hand corner of the screen. Now, a red meter will appear on the left side of the screen. Wait until it's the power that you want to hit the ball. That's all there is to it! =============== Putting [PUTTG] =============== Putting is probably the hardest thing in this game. When on the green, press Button 1 to look at the slope of the putt. Adjust your aiming, set the right power, and knock it in. There's really nothing else to explain here. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hole-by-hole Strategies [HOLES] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ====== Hole 1 ====== Par 4 468 yards This is a fairly long hole to start out your round. The drive is fairly simple. Just make sure you keep away from the bunkers down the left side of the fairway. The second shot is a lot tougher with three bunkers guarding the green. ====== Hole 2 ====== Par 3 177 yards This is a really easy hole to par. I recommend a 3-iron from the tee. Once on the green, you should have a chance at birdie. ====== Hole 3 ====== Par 4 330 yards You may be thinking, "OMG, my ball is gonna go in the creek!!" Don't worry, unless you really screw up in the power meter, you'll clear the creek and land on the fairway near the green. The second shot shouldn't be a problem unless you hit it in the creek. ====== Hole 4 ====== Par 4 399 yards With water down the entire left side, your best bet is to hit it in the right- hand portion of the fairway. Yes, there are bunkers, but you don't want to end up in the water, right? From here, the hole is fairly simple...just don't hit it in the water. ====== Hole 5 ====== Par 4 351 yards The large pond in the middle of the fairway forces you to use a shorter club. I would chose a 5W for this hole. With your approach shot, you're going to have to carry the ball to the green, since it's surrounded by bunkers. ====== Hole 6 ====== Par 5 495 yards When you first see this hole, all you can do is look stunned. This hole is made up of five islands. The teebox, three fairway islands, and the green. If you have the wind going with you, you can drive it to the second island. If not, you're going to have to hit to the first. If you made it to the second, you have a chance for the green. Again, if you didn't, you're going to have to hit to the third island, then to the green. ====== Hole 7 ====== Par 3 141 yards For this short Par 3, I recommend an 8-iron off the tee. This will put you on the green or just off the green. From there, it's a fairly easy chip/putt. ====== Hole 8 ====== Par 5 546 yards When you aim your tee shot, aim more to the left, since the default aim will get you an "OB". With your second shot, lay-up in front of the water and hit your third shot on to have a putt at birdie. ====== Hole 9 ====== Par 4 267 yards This short Par 4 is probably the easiest hole on the course. With the wind blowing with you, you can almost reach the green with your drive. If you don't walk away with a birdie, you've missed the easiest chance on the course. ======= Hole 10 ======= Par 5 534 yards This is probably the easiest Par 5 in the game. The tee shot is simple because you're already lined up to the middle of the fairway. Hitting a 1W without wind gets you to the end of the first straight patch. From here, you can hit a 3W to get you near the green in two strokes. You should at least manage a par on this hole. ======= Hole 11 ======= Par 3 210 yards A 3W is the ideal club on this Par 3. Depending on the wind, you may or may not avoid the bunker in the front of the green, but it's an easy chip out. Par is the ideal score on this hole. ======= Hole 12 ======= Par 4 309 yards This is yet another snake-like hole. Aim your tee shot well to the right to have the best chance to hit the fairway. From there, the only thing you have to worry about is the two bunkers guarding the front of the green. ======= Hole 13 ======= Par 4 270 yards Although it's a short hole, it can pose for a challenge when played wrong. On the tee, hit a 3-iron to hit if farthest you can without going into the pond. Once you're safely in the fairway, the shot to the green is simple. ======= Hole 14 ======= Par 3 192 yards For the last Par 3 on the course, I recommend a 3W off the tee. You may have to take a little off it, but the 5W doesn't quite get there. ======= Hole 15 ======= Par 4 414 yards You have two choices off the tee on this dogleg right. You can either hit a 1W and aim well right and flirt with the bunker, or you can club down and hit to the edge of the fairway. If you hit a good drive, the hole is a piece of cake. ======= Hole 16 ======= Par 4 375 yards This is a pretty tough tee shot. I would recommend a 3W and hit it in between the two fairway bunkers. With the green guarded by three bunkers, I advise that you should carry the ball to the front of the green to keep safe. ======= Hole 17 ======= Par 4 384 yards This hole may look very thin, but it's fairly simple. Hit your drive in between the fairway bunker and the tree in the fairway. From here, it should be about an 8-iron to the green. ======= Hole 18 ======= Par 5 471 yards Your first instinct is to avoid the long beach down the right-hand of the hole. The best spot for the drive is in between the water hazard and the beach. If you want to play really safe, hit a 3W or a 5W off the tee. From here, lay up to the edge of the fairway and play from there. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version History [VERSH] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 1.00 - Finished all sections. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contact Information [CONTI] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you have any questions, contributions, or comments, feel free to e-mail me at CFlames55117@yahoo.com.
