An introduction to playing Mini Golf

Practice beyond the first move

Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Notice the feedback after each input.

What counts as success

Sink all three holes within twelve strokes per hole. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Try to explain the aim in your own words.

The steps to play

  1. Aim a stopped ball.
  2. Set power and putt.
  3. Wait until it stops before another shot.
  4. Use Next hole after sinking.

Controls

Touch aim, angle/power sliders and Putt. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. A new-round button replaces the current round.

See the idea in action

A soft final putt can sink where a fast crossing would not. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Check the stated objective.

Watch out for this

The hole accepts only a sufficiently slow ball. Check the rule before repeating the action. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
