Important notes (Showdown)

  • Some tee boxes can feel slightly inconsistent; retrying the same method usually converges.
  • Other combos that can ace: 49° + 93% power and 50° + 95–96% power — 100% power is often easiest to repeat.
  • Retry tip: Hold R to retry before the timer starts if you miss — it may not count for the hole-in-one achievement, but you can still finish ahead of other players.

Gauntlet — spawn / tee context (far left on both tee boxes).

Spawn requirement (Gauntlet)

Less consistent than Showdown overall. This line is most reliable from the far left side of both tee boxes; with that spawn, aim carefully for a high success rate.

Step 1 — Aim alignment
Use the transparent white aim bar: place the flag icon arrow in the center of that bar.

Notes (Gauntlet)

  • 100% power + 51° and/or 52° are called out as reliable when you can commit to full bar.
  • Variants that also work for some players: 52° from certain tee positions, or 51° with 93–100% power from the left start — try what fits your spawn.
