PekoponTAS Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 So I bought Hot Shots Golf for the Vita today, and keep in mind I've never played a single game in this series before. I start my first "official course" after doing one hole in training mode and not reading the manual. I'm getting par on every hole, but not getting any trophies. Suddenly on hole 6 I mess up and get a double bogey. The next hole I get just a regular bogey. So there's no way I can win right? Well on hole 8 I spotted a good chance, and I took it. I lined up my shot, got 100% power and perfect aim, and sure enough it goes right in the hole for a hole in one. Suddenly trophies start popping up. I got "My first chip-in", "Rockin' Score" (get an eagle) and "Go for the Ace!" (Score a hole in one) Luckily for me I was paying attention, and managed to notice the "record replay" option, so I have my first hole in one recorded. Considering I've heard a lot of people have had trouble with this trophy, it makes me all the more smug that I got it before buying a single thing in the shop. Though I'm fully aware there was probably a lot of dumb luck involved in this. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GotFever Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Got the game yesterday too. Haven't managed a hole in one yet so congratulations! Starting to get a bit more comfortable with it now so hopefully won't be too ling for me. I've never played any golf game before so this is making a nice change from adventure games.

But this is 99% luck involved, so you can play and play and it won't happen in a month. I Have played ~270 full rounds (that equals nearly 5000 holes) and it happend only 3 times for me. First time I got Hole in One on Par 4, so it was also Albatros for me at the same time. Speaking of Albatros, I think it's even harder than Hole in One, unless you are very lucky:) I am still waiting for Homing Shot to happen for me and that will be a platinium.

Steve_LWL Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Awesome job on the hole in one. It definitely is sort of luck when it happens but it does take a bit of skill as well. Speaking of Albatros, I think it's even harder than Hole in One, unless you are very lucky:) You are definitely right. I'm still trying to get an albatros which almost seems impossible. I'm just going to have to do the same hole over and over till I get it. What a long platinum this is turning out to be. I don't know if I'll ever get it.

TheSecretPartner Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 (edited) Awesome moment today. Got my spiral and rising shots within 2 hours of each other. Edit: Just added my homing shot as well. Izzak is a monster. Edited May 29, 2012 by TheSecretPartner Add Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Izzak is a monster. Congrats mate!!! I decided not to grind it, just play Daily Tournaments normally, as I knew I will get it eventually and I like doing dailies (I am rank 2000 from 19800 players). Finally, I scored homing yestarday! This was my last trophy to get and DING! PLATINUM! After ~300 hundred rounds finally... This was my 10th platinum trophy - the most difficult and satisfying at the same time.
