Club members sign
in at this counter
and go to the
Caddie Master's
office to get a
start time.

This is the visitors'
counter. Non-members
sign in here.
The Caddie Master
then gives them a
start time.

This course has
many bunkers and
water hazards.
Avoiding them
can be tough.

If you dunk your
ball, it's a 1-stroke
penalty. Bunkers
are sand traps.
Escaping from
them is tough.

I want to increase
my drive by twenty
yards.
If I do, I can use a
short iron on my
second shot!

Approach shots are
more important
than tee or iron
shots. If you miss
the green on the
2nd stroke, only
a good approach
can save par.

To avoid hazards,
don't use a driver
on the tee shot.

...low trajectory
in headwinds,
high trajectory
in tailwinds...
...low trajectory...

Everyone thinks so
much before playing,
they choke!

Aren't there a lot
of golfers waiting
to start?

You placed in the
Club Tournament,
<name>!
You haven't even
been a member
long. Impressive!

Say, aren't you,
<name>, the
new Club Champ?
It must be great
to be the Champ!

Most people get
nervous in their
first Tournament,
but you placed,
<name>! That
takes real talent!

Most people choke
from the pressure of
Club Tournaments,
but you won,
<name>! You're
a golf master!

Palm Club's trees
make it tough to
attack the course.

The Palm Club
Tournament is a
step above ours.

The farther you
drive the ball, the
more likely it'll
curve. Distance has
advantages, but so
does control.

Getting on green
in 2 strokes below
par is a par on.
With a par on,
you're sure to
avoid a bogey.

If you try to get
on green in 2
strokes on a short
par 5, you could
end up getting
a worse score.

Did you know a
fairway that turns
is a dogleg?
Attacking a dog-
leg requires
careful aim.
If your attack's
too bold, you could
land in a trap!

It's called a dog-
leg 'cause it's
bent - just like
a dog's leg.

First time I saw
you, <name>, I
knew you had it.
Now that you've
placed, will you
aim to be Champ?

First time I saw
you, <name>, I
knew you'd win!
I'm sure that
someday, you'll
get to meet Mario!

Going to play a
Match Game with
the Club Champ?

After playing a
round, assess your
play and practice
hard! All good
golfers do that.

You placed at Palm
Club, <name>?
Wow! Most golfers
brag, but I guess
you're above that!

Hmm...I guess that
takes some skill.

Hmm...I guess that
takes some skill.

You won at Palm
Club, <name>?
You can't fool me!
We've already seen
the rankings!

Marion's Champ
winning at Palm
Club is big news!
I can tell you've
already got plans
for Dune Club.

Marion's Champ
winning at Palm
Club is big news!
I can tell you've
already got plans
for Dune Club.

Nice, <name>!
You placed in the
Palm Tournament!
I guess we can't
call you a
beginner anymore!

Great, <name>!
You won the Palm
Tournament!
We'll have to call
you Club Champ
from now on!

Dune Club is
a tough desert and
mountain course.

I've heard loft
can help in the
Dune Tournament.

When your drive
increases, control
can be a problem.
But you need a
long drive, so it's
one or the other.

You need birdies
for lower scores.
If birdies were a
sure thing on long
par fives, golf
would be easier!

You've gotta plan
which holes you'll
attack and defend.

It's true what they
say about over-
confidence leading
to mistakes.
You've gotta have
a well-laid plan!

You placed at Palm
Club too? And in
no time at all!

So, you're now
being called Palm
Champ, <name>?

Oh, a Club Champ!
Playing a Match
Game, are you?

Dune Club's so
tough, you'll need
practice rounds.

It's <name>!
I heard you placed
at Dune Club!
Being good enough
to place is really
amazing!

It's <name>!
I heard you won
the Dune Tourney!
I'm totally
shocked that you
could win!

You placed at Dune
Club? Too cool,
<name>!
And to think, I
thought of you as
a rookie!

So you've won the
Dune Tourney, too?

I can't believe
someone from
Marion Club won the
Dune Tournament!

Links Club is a
sea-side course.

Off the fairway
it's all heath.
Man, it's tough!

Golfers who take
advantage of Links'
two fairway types
always win. Balls
really run on the
odd-colored grass!

Once you get both
distance and
direction down,
golf becomes a
thinking game.

Heath, pot bunkers
and serious run
make Links Club
tough. To make par,
you have to plan
which holes you'll
attack and which
you'll try to
save.

Which holes you'll
attack depends
on the wind.
Even on par fives,
you may need to
cut with an iron.

It's said your own
play is the key
to a tough course.

So you placed at
Dune Club, too?
Some effort, eh?

So, you're Dune Champ,
huh, <name>?
You'll take Links, too.
You're not far from
the so-called
Grand Championship.

A Club Champ?
Playing a Match
Game, are you?

Everyone who's
played Links Club
says it's tough!
When you see its
hard fairways and
that heath...Oh!

You placed at Links
Club? That's great
<name>!
If you keep it up,
you'll take the
Grand Championship!

I heard you placed
at Links Club.
The Grand
Championship's in
reach, <name>!

Wasn't Links Club
tough? The run
there really messes
with your sense of
distance.

They say the Links
Tournament tries
your patience.
Just save par and
wait for a chance
to present itself.

To win at Links,
you need both chip
and roll techniques.

Every chance
brings risk...
that's Links Club!

They say whatever
creates the wind,
created Links.

They say something
big happens when
you make Grand Champ.

<name> would be
the one to ask.

So you placed at
Links Club, too.
Some effort, eh?

DUMMY

With a Club Champ?
Playing a Match
Game are you?

Isn't the heath in
the Links rough
a real pain?
No matter how strong
you are, you'll need
a 7I to get out.

Hey! Isn't that
Grand Champ,
<name>?
Way to go in
that Links Club
Tournament!

Hey, they said you
won the Links
Club Tournament.
Wow! I think that's
like, so cool!

Finally, Marion
Club's produced a
Grand Champion!

Did you really beat
Grand Champ <name>?
All golfers were
shooting for <name>.
Now, I guess we'll
be after you,
<name>!

C'mon, quit the
modesty act!

So you're the one
who beat the Links!
What do you say
you teach me how
to attack it?

Apparently a lot
of Grand Champs
have played Mario.
But none have
been able to
beat him.

They say Peach's
Castle is way
up in the clouds...

I hear invitations
to Peach's Castle
come unexpectedly.

I hear <name> got
one going from
Marion to Links.

You've come a long
way, <name>.
Grand Champion
is the top!

I guess you'll be
going to Peach's
Castle, <name>.

It'd be so cool
to play at
Peach's Castle...

Finished playing
today, <name>?
Oh, giving
your tired body
a rest outside?
That always lifts
the spirits! Well,
take your time!

Oh, refreshing
yourself before some
more training?
Hey! Try stopping
by other courses
in the process!

Hey, <name>!
Going outside?
Check out other
courses, too. It'll
improve your game!

Once in a while
you should play
other courses, too.

Hey, <name>!
Going outside?
Check out other
courses, too. It'll
improve your game!

Once in a while
you should play
other courses, too.

Hey, <name>!
Going outside?
Going to check out
Links Club before
the Tournament?

I can't wait to
see you become
Grand Champion!

Hey, <name>!
Going outside?
Practicing up to
take the Grand
Champion title?

I can't wait to
see you become
Grand Champion!

Hey, <name>!
Going outside?
Head for Links Club.
Something good'll
come of it.

<name> was up
that way when his
invitation came.

A Grand Champ
should stop
by Links Club, too.

<name>!
You're hanging out
with <name>!
Oh, you want to
copy the Club
Champ's technique!

<name>!
You're hanging out
with <name>!
What a match - the
current and form-
er Marion Champs!

<name>, will
you and <name>
play
a Match Game?
That'll be some-
thing if you beat
Palm Club's Champ!

<name>, will
you and <name>
play
a Match Game?
With the Palm
Club Champ, that'll
be a round to see!

<name>, will
you and <name>
play
a Match Game?
Well, if you want
to improve, stick
with the best!

<name>, will
you and <name>
play
a Match Game?
I'd like to see
you go up against
the former Champ!

Playing a Match
Game with <name>,
<name>?
He really hits
the ball, so don't
out-pace yourself!

Playing a Match
Game with <name>,
<name>?
Wow! A match be-
tween you and the
former Dune Champ?

Playing a Match
Game with <name>,
<name>?
A Match Game with
the Grand Champion -
that's amazing!

Playing a Match Game
with <name>,
<name>?
A round with the
former Grand Champ
will be a thriller!

Play <name>, and
you'll find golf's
not all power.

Playing the Champ
to practice for
<course> will help.

Playing <name>'ll
give insight into
attack options.

Playing <name>'ll
give insight into
attack options.

Playing 
<name>'ll
give insight into
attack options.

Practicing for

by playing
Palm's former Champ?

You can learn to
drive and chip by
playing <name>.

Playing Dune's form-
er Champ to pre-
pare for <name>?

<name>, is
that Grand
Champion <name>?
I wonder...
who will win?

<name>, is
that former Grand
Champion <name>?
I wonder...
who will win?

There's a book:
"Proper Word Usage."

There's a book:
"Golf Rules."

There's a book:
"Strategic Golf."

There's a book:
"Golf Sayings."

I know lower clubs
have less control,
but dang!
Bunker shots don't
necessarily have
to make the green!

Good approach shots
can really help your
score!

It's easy to come up
short if you don't
use distance clubs
in a headwind. In a
tailwind, use small
clubs...Oh! You know!

The Club Champs are
here in the lounge
today.

I want to be a
Club Champ so I can
hang there too!

If you're going up
there, you'd better
know who's who.

Those are all the
Club Champs! I'll
tell you who's who!

Those are all the
ex-Club Champs! I'll
tell you who's who!

The intellectual on
the right is Links
champ, <name>.
He's the best of
the Club Champs.

The stud next to him
is Dune Champ,
<name>,
the second best!

The lady is Palm
Champ, <name>. She's
next in line.

The little guy on
the left is <name>.
As Marion Champ,
he's at the bottom
of the ladder.

Did you get that?
You didn't get it?
OK, listen up...

If you want to be
a Club Champ, know
your rivals!

Don't forget the ex-
Champs you beat in
your rise to the top.

The intellectual on
the right's former
Links Champ, <name>.

They said he
was the best...

The stud on his
left is the former
Dune Champ.

<name>'s long drive
used to be
second best.

The woman on the
left is former Palm
Champ, <name>. Her
steady play had
her at 3rd, until
<name> showed up!

The little guy is
the former Marion
Champ.

Come talk to me
once you get
some confidence!

Sure! I'll let
you play me!

I'm the Club Champ
here at
Marion Club!
Did you learn
something from
our little game?
You won't improve
if you don't learn
from the Champ.

Oh! You can study
my game to become
a better golfer!
Maybe I should let
you play me again?
Come talk to me
once you get some
confidence!

Sure! I'll let
you play me!

I'm the former
Marion Club Champ.
You're Champ now, eh?
I guess I thought
you were someone
else...

To think, you stole
the championship
from me!
If it's a Match
Game, I won't lose!
How about it?
Will you try me?
So you're just
going to run, huh?

I'll show you by
winning this match!

I am <name>, the
Marion Club Champ.
You beat me in
a Match Game, but
I'm still Champ!
If you're confident
in your Match Game,
try <name>, the
Palm Club Champ.

I am the former
Marion Club Champ,
<name>. I lost
to you in the
Tournament and a
Match Game! You're
too good for me.
You're the Marion
Club Champ, now.

DUMMY

I'm the former
Marion Club Champ.
Are you Grand Champ?
I'm the Marion Club
Champion. Are
you the Grand Champ?
There's no way I'll
lose a match to
the Grand Champ!
How about it?
Will you try me?
I'll show you by
winning this match!

I must have
mistaken you for
someone else...

I am <name>, the
Marion Club Champ.
You beat me in
a Match Game, but
I'm still Champ!

Hi! I'm <name>,
Palm Club
Champion. So you beat
<name> in a Match Game?
Oh, but you look like...

You must be good
if you beat the
Marion Club Champ.
How'd you like
to try me in
a Match Game?
I'd be happy to
go up against
you anytime.

Well, <name>,
show me what
you've got!

DUMMY

Hi! I'm <name>,
Palm Club
Champion.
That last match was
close, wasn't it
<name>?
Want to try
me again?
I'd be happy to
go up against
you anytime.

Then show me just
how good
you've gotten!

Hi! I'm <name>,
former Palm Club
Champion.
Aren't you the one
who took my title?
Oh, it wasn't you?

You're the Club Champ,
but how's your
Match Game?
Won't you play
a match with me?
Oh, it's OK if
you're nervous.
We'll do it later.

It's time to pay
you back for
the Tournament.

Hi! I'm <name>,
the Palm Club
Champion.
I lost our little
match, but there's still
the Tournament!
If you want another
Match Game, see
the Dune Club Champ.

Hi! I'm the
former Palm Club
Champ, <name>.
I lost the match
and my title.
Now I'm just another
golfer. But don't stop
there! You keep
right on going!

Hi! I'm <name>, Palm
Club Champion.
You new recruits sure
improve quickly!

Hi! I'm <name>, the
former Palm Club
Champion.
I'll go up against
you in a Match
Game anytime.

Hi! I'm <name>, the
former Palm Club
Champion.
So, you're the
Grand Champion?

Hi! I'm <name>,
Palm Club
Champion.
So, you're the
Grand Champion?
I want to see
what the Grand Champ
can do.
Won't you play a
Match Game with me?
You stole my Palm
Club title.
I owe you for that.

Well, wasn't it you?

Hi, I'm <name>, the
Palm Club Champ.
I lost the Match,
but I'll get you
in the tournament.

I guess the Palm
Club Champ lost in
a Match Game.
You're the one
who beat <name>,
right?
Sheesh! I guess not...

Well, if you beat
<name>, I wanna
see you play!
How 'bout it? Can
you play <name>, Dune
Champ, in a match?
I've got nothing
to say to a
chicken!

You beat <name>, but
I'll school you!

I'm <name>, the Dune
Champ. Heard of me?
So, did losing to
me bug you?
You don't care?!?
You're no Champ!

Huh-huh! I know
that feeling.
What about it?
Let me do it
to you again?
Well if you've got
no guts, beating
<name> means nothing!

<name>, you
beat <name>,
but I'll
show you!

You're <name>,
the new Dune Club
Champ, right?
D'ya know I'm the
guy you stole the
title from?
Remember this -
I'm <name>...
and I'm gonna get
that Dune
Championship back!

You took the
Tournament, but
now you think
you can take me
in a Match Game?
Then I challenge you!
I'll take you in a
Match Game any day!

All right! Thanks
<name>...
Don't think it's
the tournament all
over again!

I'm <name>, the
Dune Club Champ.
I lost the match,
but not the
Championship!
You beat me, so
<name> is next for you!
Good luck! Hah!

I'm the former Dune
Champ, <name>.
I lost it all.
I'm nothing next
to you.
Now that you've
beaten me, I can't
wait to see you
play <name>!

I'm <name>, Dune Club
Champ. All the Club
Champs are here!

You're the new
Dune Club Champ,
<name>, huh?
Well, I swear I'll
take the Dune
Championship back!

Aren't you the
Grand Champ?
Don't you know
I'm <name>, the guy
you stole the
Dune title from?
You're Grand Champ
<name>, huh?
Did you know I'm
Dune Club Champ,
<name>?
So the Grand
Champion wants
to play me?

You'll play me,
<name>?
All right!
Don't think it's
the Club Tournament
all over again!

Well remember this...
I'm <name>!
I'm the Dune
Club Champ!

I'm <name>, Dune
Club Champ!
I may have lost the
Match Game, but the
Club Championship
is different!

DUMMY

Hello. My name is
<name>,
Links Club Champ.
I see you have
beaten <name> and the
others, one-by-one.
Now that you've
beaten them, you're
here for me, right?
Most regrettable...
I hoped to see
just what kind
of play defeated
the others.

Splendid! I shall
show you the skills
and experience of
<name>!

DUMMY

Hello. My name is
<name>,
Links Club Champ.
<name>, did
our match teach
you nothing?
Your skills cannot
defeat me after all.

Then I'll play you
until you learn. 

DUMMY

My name is
<name>, former
Links Club Champ.
<name>, I've
lost the title of
Champion to you.
Therefore, I must
play until my
honor is avenged.
Will you play me?
So now that you're
Champion, you're
done with matches?
I won't dignify
such cowardice
with a match!

Hah! Now you shall
repent, insolent
title thief!

I acknowledge
your skills in
Match Games...
...but experience
shall speak for
Club Tournaments!

You've won all the
match games with
the Club Champs!
You have no more
enemies, <name>.
As the best golfer,
you shall receive
an invitation to
Peach's Castle.
I wish you luck
against Mario in
Mario Land.

I am <name>,
Links Club
Champion.
I am the greatest
of the great!
The pleasure's mine.

My name is
<name>, former
Links Club Champ.
Some day, I shall
avenge your theft
of my title.

My name is
<name>, former
Links Club Champ.
I lost my
Grand Champion title
to you. 
Therefore, I must
play until my
honor is avenged.
Will you play me?
Then let me avenge
my title of Links
Club Champion!

DUMMY

My ball rolled
off of the mound
and into the pond!

I told him it's
a risk to aim too
close to the water.

From here, you
can watch them
make silly mistakes.
Mario would never
miss a shot
like that!

The Club Champs are
here in the
lounge again today.

The ex-Club
Champs are in the
lounge again today.

The area up the
steps is the Club
Champs' hang-out.
The seats with the
best views are re-
served for them.

The area up the
steps is for the
ex-Club Champs.
The seats with the
best views are
reserved for them.

Got a second?
Tch! I was gonna
tell you something!

On a bunker shot,
I chipped it in.
I'm so excited!

I topped a bunker
shot and it just
flew! But it hit
the pin and sank!
Shots like that
keep me hooked!

...so I aim for the
green from between
these 2 trees. I'm
sure I've got it,
but it hits a
branch and I triple!

Got a second?
Tch! I was gonna
tell you something!

When I played Links,
my ball kept roll-
ing into the rough!
A fairway that rolls
that much isn't
fair at all!

Originally, Links
Course was
created naturally.
Humans are power-
less before nature.

Of all the courses,
Links is the only
one I hate!
I hate the layout
and that heath!

Got a second?
Tch! I was gonna
tell you something!

At Links Club the
heath's so tall,
that once you're
in it, you can't
get out! And that
fairway just rolls
your ball right
into it, too!

Distance is cut by
the heath but ex-
tended by the fair-
way. Scores climb
when you can't
figure distances.

...so in the heath,
the grass catches
my shaft and spins
my head! That's why
everyone hits wick-
ed hooks & slices!

<name>, have
you already been
to Peach's Castle?
You've earned
the right. You
should go!

A course in the
clouds...the view
must be astounding!

You took the Grand
Champion title.
You've finally
reached golf's
pinacle of success!

You are amazing!
Someone finally
beat <name>!

I guess all I can
do is admit
you're the best,
even if you're not
Marion Club Champ.

I guess all I can
do is admit
you're the best.
Be sure to be the
first Grand Champ
to beat Mario.

So you were aiming
for Grand Champion
the whole time. No
wonder you never
gave Palm Club
a 2nd thought.

Congratulations on
the Championship,
<name>.

The way you handle
your clubs, I knew
you'd take it.

You showed 'em
in the Links Tournament,
<name>.

The thing I don't
get is why you
never took Dune!?!

You showed 'em
in the Links Tournament,
<name>.

Now I want to
see you beat
Mario!

I've failed,
<name>. You
have bested me.

Surely you'll be
invited to meet
Mario.

I challenged Mario
many times, yet
victory eluded me.

You may be able
to defeat him. Yes!
Defeat him for me!

The former Club
Champs used to
hang out in the lounge.

The area up the
steps was for
former Club Champs.

Marion Club
Director's Office

Hello, <name>!
It's your 1st day
as our student!
Follow our advice,
and you'll be
a great golfer!

Now, <name>,
let me introduce
the club's staff.

I'm the pro here
at Marion Club.
Nice to meet you.

The golf master,
Mario, is the idol
of all golfers.
I know what it's
like to want to
be like Mario!

If you become a
pro, you may get
to meet Mario!

I'm the Caddie
Master here at
Marion Club.
I'm responsible
for the course and
can answer questions.

Look after
<name>, OK?

Use Marion Club's
facilities to
improve your game.

Select "Clubhouse"
to come here
anytime.
See you
on the green!

Practice hard at
Marion Club. When
you find new joy in
golf and know its
depths, then you'll
be a master.

Great things await
if you build a
reputation as an
expert. To do so,
you must first face
the Club Champ!

Train at Marion Club
to enter the Club
Tournament.
Place here and you
can enter other Club
Tournaments.

If you need me,
ask at the Caddie
Master's Office.

You placed in the
Club Tournament in
such a short time.
You should test
your skills in
Palm's Tournament.

I'm afraid Marion
Club is the lowest
club around. We're
hoping you can
raise our stature
at Palm Club.

It's great you
placed in the Club
Tournament, but
don't stop there!
The Club Champs are
all here. Play them!

I hear you placed in
the Marion Club
Tournament. Now,
polish your skills
and face the
Club Champion.

You won the Marion
Club Tournament?
Congratulations!
You should try the
Palm Club
Tournament next.

I'm afraid Marion
Club is the lowest
club around. We're
hoping you can
raise our stature
at Palm Club.

It's great you
won the Club
Tournament, but
don't stop there!
The Club Champs are
all here. Play them!

So you won the Marion
Club Tournament? Now 
you must polish your
skills and face the
Palm Club Champion.

I hear you placed
in the Palm Club
Tournament. Don't
you think you're
good enough to com-
pete at Dune Club?

As one who placed
in the Palm Club
Tournament, you've
proven your ability.
Our expectations
just keep rising!

Your next goal is
the Dune Club
Tournament.
The Club Champ,
<name>, is famous for
his drive.

You placed in the
Palm Club
Tournament, too?
Won't you be
wanting the Club
Champ title, too?

So you entered the
Palm Tournament as
Marion's Champ?

Beating <name> to
become Club Champ
is something else!
With those skills,
you could enter the
Dune Tournament.

You've proven your
skills by winning
Palm's Tournament.
Our expectations for
you just keep
rising!

<name>, Palm Club's
Champ, is a skilled
golfer.
Beating her for
the win really
means something!

I hear you won the
Palm Club
Tournament. Now,
polish your skills
and take the Dune
Club Championship.

You've already
placed at Dune?
Great, <name>!
The only course
left for you is
Links Club!

Placing in Dune's
Tournament is
incredible,
<name>! Now
you can enter the
Links Tournament!

Placed in Dune's
Club Tournament,
eh, <name>?
Your final object-
ive is the Links
Club Tournament!

You placed in the
Dune Club
Tournament, too?
Won't you be
wanting the Club
Champ title, too?

As <course> Champ,
you sure performed
at Dune Club!

I'm amazed that
you beat
<name> to
become Club Champ!
Links Club's Champ,
<name>, is the Grand
Champion.

Beating <name> in
Dune's Club Tour-
nament's something
else! You'll beat
<name> at Links Club
at that pace!

<name>'s long drive
is a fearsome
weapon.
But you beat him,
so I guess you're
someone to fear.

I hear you won
the Dune Club
Tournament.
If you win at Links
Club, you'll become
Grand Champion...

Placing in the
Links Tournament
is something else!
After coming so
far, will you try
to take on Mario?

So you placed in
the Links Club
Tournament? Great!
Your dream of becom-
ing Grand Champion
is before you!

The Links Club
Tournament is the
championship for
the best golfers.
Placing makes you
one of the best!

You placed in
Links Club
Tournament, too?
You'll be wanting
the title of Grand
Champ soon, eh?

As <course>'s Champ,
you sure per-
formed at Links!

You did it,
<name>! You
won at Links!

Taking the Grand
Champ title so
quickly is amazing!

You took the Grand
Champ title,
<name>!
You'll definitely
be invited to
Peach's Castle.

They say the Grand
Champion gets
invited to Peach's
Tournament. You're
Grand Champ now.
You'll be invited.

Fear not the
outcome, but face
Mario, you must.

Good luck in
Peach's Tournament,
Grand Champ!

We're expecting your
best round yet at
Peach's Tournament.

Fulfill the golf-
ers' dream - win
Peach's Tournament!

Congratulations
on beating Mario,
<name>!
I've put your
victory trophy in
the Memorial Room.

<name>, when
the golfers hear
of your victory,
you'll be a hero!
That day will
come very soon.

Even a pro like me
can't beat the one
who beat Mario.

Perhaps you'll
become an idol
for all golfers.

So, you already
beat Mario!

Our greatest wish
is now fulfilled!

You have achieved
every golfer's dream!

Our pro doesn't
look too happy.

No, I think it's
amazing <name>
beat Mario.

Then why are you
so quiet?

Wasn't defeating
Mario every
golfer's dream?

But now that
<name>'s
done it,
what happens
to that dream?

Golf with no dream
is no golf at all.

Surely golf with
no dream loses
its appeal.

But we should be
happy <name>
beat Mario...

So you mean that
<name> has...

I can understand
both sides.

To realize a dream
is a wonderful
thing...
but to lose a
dream altogether
is a tragedy.

What if...
what if we cover
it up for a while?

Isn't it better
to let it leak
out slowly?

Perhaps. It'd
reduce the golfers'
shock.

And we'll save
<name>'s
reputation, too!

That's brilliant!

OK, <name>?

You've worked hard
to become the
one to beat Mario.

I'm sorry to do
this, but can you
keep it a secret?

Please be patient.
We'll make it
known in due time.

Thank you for
understanding.

Congratulations on
your victory.
I've put your
trophy in the
Memorial Room.

<name>, when
the golfers hear
of your victory,
you'll be a hero!
That day will
come very soon.

Even a pro like me
can't beat the one
who beat Mario!

Perhaps you'll
become every
golfer's idol.

Marion Club
Director's Office

If your level
increases, extend
your drive first.
Long drives are one of
golf's many charms.

Maintain balance.
Drive is important,
but so is control.

A wide meet area
means fewer missed
shots.

The golf master,
Mario, is my idol!
My dream is to play
a round with him.

That stupid
bunker! Hmph!

On a duff it's
"Nice Shank!"
...or so they say.

Three putts
ain't par!
...or so they say.

I'm just a novice
golfer. I don't
know anything.

I'm about to
change. Ask me
later.

LEAVE ME ALONE!
Hee-yah!

<name> took
562 points of
damage!
...That's how bad
it hurt.

Mario's the hero
of the golf world,
but Peach, Bowser,
Yoshi, DK, Baby
Mario and Luigi
are all good, too.

Who cares about
aim? I just love
to hammer balls!

Shooting from the
rough is easy with
a wide meet area.

I wish I could get
a high, soaring
shot on approach
with my SW. I
know, I'll raise
my trajectory!

If you only focus
on increasing
your drive, you'll
ruin your form.
That's why control
gets worse!

Having the longest
drive is a huge
advantage. But if
aim concerns you,
then a long drive
is not for you.

There are 14
driver shots in a
round but at
least 22 iron
shots. You know
which to practice!

To make good iron
shots, you need a
fade, right?

The longer your
drive, the higher
your shot is. High
balls are suscep-
tible to wind
- a major problem.

There's a limit to
what spin can do to
your trajectory.
You should pay
attention to your
shot's height, too.

For those strong
winds at Links,
use a low shot.

Strong ocean winds
are a shock the
first time around.

You've improved
a lot, <name>.
Now, improve your
drive and other
skills to become
a perfect golfer.

Changing trajec-
tories based on
the course your
playing is the
fun of improving.

Doesn't using spin
expose the ball
to wind shifts?

If you use run to
attack the green, use
a low trajectory.

Grand Champ
<name>, you're
good enough now!
To beat Mario, all
you need to do is
know the course.

I hear all the
players at Peach's
Castle are masters.
I wonder if the
"Grand Champ" can
beat them?

I wonder what
kind of course
Peach's Castle is?

I'm so jealous!
I want to
play Mario!

It's cold inside.

You found Mario
Golf for the N64!
Give it a shot!

It's Toad!
Oh, it's just a
toadstool.

It's a picture of
Peach!
And it's signed!

A fishing rod?!?
Oh! It's Lakitu's
Locker.

It's Baby Mario's
diaper!
Ew! It stinks!

You found a
Yoshi egg! It's
about to hatch!

You found a Shy
Guy mask.
Very nice...

You found Koopa's
shell, but where's
Koopa?

A Piranha Plant
bouquet!
Don't touch!

A yellow cap and
a fake moustache...
Could it be...?!?

It's a wind-up
Bob-omb!
I want to wind
it up, but...

It's Donkey Kong!
Oh, it's just a
wooden gorilla.

AHHH!!! It's Boo!
Huh?!?
It disappeared!

Yikes! It's
Chain Chomp!
Shh! It's asleep!

It's empty.

She's tough!

Today is the Palm
Club Tournament. OH!
I'm so excited!

Dang! If only I
hadn't gotten
that double bogey!

You must be good
if you placed in
the tournament.
Someday, I'm gonna
place, too -
just like you!

Congratulations!
You won the Palm
Club Tournament!
Beating
<name> is a
real accomplishment!

A practice round?
Play all you like,
<name>.
You're always
welcome here!

I hear Dune Club's
layout is really
tough.
You gotta know
the course if you
wanna win!

Why do I get so
nervous before the
Club Tournament?
My heart is
trembling!

Once I knew I could
place, I mis-hit!
I need practice!

While I was missing,
you extended your lead!
If that's the case,
I have a ways to
go before I place.

You beat <name> for
the Championship
That's amazing golf!

<name>, you'd
better watch out!
I'm gonna be Club
Champ, too. I'll
catch you someday,
just wait!

You'll need all
your techniques on
the Links Course.

There are great
golfers everywhere!
That's the Grand
Championship
for you!

Well I sure didn't
win, but neither did
you.
I may lose to
<name>, but I
won't lose to you!

You didn't
beat me...
The course
and the wind
beat me.

It's not that I
lost to you...
I lost to the
course and to
the wind.

Dang! If only I
hadn't gotten that
double bogey!

<name> is quite the
favorite among the
women golfers.

That last group
to start moving
is really slow.
If they go too
slow, they'll blow
my rhythm!

Well, we're a sorry
couple of losers!
But our time'll come!

You placed 'cause
you didn't let the
tournament faze
you. I got psyched-
out and couldn't
play my best!

Training's the key
to success, right?
I'm training, too!

Everyone's getting
into golf since
you became Champ.

Getting on in 2 on
the long hole is
my impossible dream.
If I could hit as
far as <name>, I
could get an eagle!

Oh, man! Somebody's
trouble shot's delayed
our start!

When my start was
delayed, I
missed my rhythm!

I was watching your
play...You're smooth!
You can place!

Play the course
1 hole at a time...
That's how you win!

The Club Champion
is the peak for
any player!
The king of that
crew is the
Grand Champion.

The Links Champion
is the real champion.
He or she gets to
claim the title of
Grand Champion.

Even after playing
it many times,
Links is still hard.

Aw! Check out my
score! Yeah, it's a
hard course, but...
I rushed myself
trying to match
your pace...

Play the course
1 hole at a time...
That's how you win!

I'm gonna be Grand
Champ someday, just
so I can meet
that legendary
golfer, Mario.

I want to beat <name>
and become Club Champ!

<name>,
Palm Club's
Champ, is everyone's
favorite.
Do you think
she'll be my friend
if I beat her?

Well, <name>
won again.
She's an awesome
golfer.

I didn't know
what I'd do
if you'd won!
I have to be the
one to beat
<name>!

I can't believe
you won! It's
so unfair!
I was supposed to
be the one to
beat <name>!

You were amazing
in the tournament,
<name>! WOW!

Once you see 
<name>'s power,
you'll lose
all hope!

As long as I play my
best, I'll place in the
Dune Tournament.

My plan was to play
my best game, but
I couldn't keep up!

You're good!
I won't even
compare our games!

From tee to cup,
you were perfect!
Unforgettable!

Winning the Club
Tournament takes
perfect play.
And you were
better than perfect!

The Links Champ,
<name>, is a player
with no weaknesses.

If you can't master
Links Club, you
won't beat <name>.

I didn't place,
but I won't let it
get me down.
Once I know the
course layout, I'll
place for sure.

My wedge was off
today, and I couldn't
seem to make score.
But once I get my
SW swing back,
I'll beat you!

I never even
dreamed you'd win
before me!
Once I get my
1W swing back,
I'll show you!

Golf is hard... If
my wood swing is
on, my iron's off
and vice versa. At
this pace, I'll
never beat you!

<name> is
wonderful!

If you place here,
you can enter the
Dune Tournament.
Winning's impossible...
I wonder what place
I'll get.

I tried so hard,
but I still
couldn't place.
I guess the Palm
Tournament really
is a higher level!

If you'd stepped up
your game, you could
have won...

<name> sure is a
strong golfer.

Nice job! I knew
you'd win after
seeing you play.

Champ, I'm going
to beat you and
become Grand Champ!
I'm extending my
drive just for
that purpose!

Look at <name>'s
physique...
He's so macho!

<name>'s tee shot
was amazing!
Today's winner will
have to go through
him first!

What is it about
<name>'s golf?
Can you really get
that score with just
a long drive?

I can't hit like
Tiny, so my focus
is on accuracy.

Getting the
longest drive is
hard, but I should
have a chance at
getting closest
to the pin.

They say you can
meet Mario when
you become Grand Champ.

When you're Grand
Champ, you can meet
Mario...

I'll be the one
to beat <name> and
nobody else!

If you play well but
don't make par,
it's your technique. 

So you placed?
I'm a trifle
annoyed, but...
congratulations.

You reached the
peak, Grand Champ
<name>!

From now on,
you'll be
everyone's objective!

When you're Grand
Champ, you can meet
Mario...

Practicing?

Practicing alone?

Will you practice?

Do you plan
to practice?

Are you quitting
this Match Game?

Did you have a
change of heart?

What?!? Forget
to do something?!?

Is this match...
postponed?

OK then...

Let me know when
you're ready for me.

If it's a Match
Game, I'll play
you anytime.

I've nothing to
say if you
don't want to play!

Nervous, are you?
Fine. I'll play
when you're ready.

Something's wrong!

Taking on Mario?

Going against Mario?

Playing Mario?

Challenging Mario?

As Grand Champion,
make sure you win!

With your technique,
you should be able
to beat Mario!

Get going! And beat
the Great Mario!

Perhaps you can
cast down the
legendary Mario!

Hey,
you got me.

Aww,
you found me.

Well!
You're good.

Tch! Who told you?

I'm rooting for
you, <name>!
Good luck!

You're working
hard, <name>!

Keep right on
refining your
technique!

Are you having fun,
<name>? Just
watching you
inspires me to
work harder.
It really does!

Yo! <name>!
How's it going?
I'm on your side!

<name> got
a 1-UP Mushroom!

Practice here?
Keep practicing?

<name> quit
practicing.

Huh? You wannna know
what I'm doin'?
When you're close to
the green, use an
approach shot to
hit with control. It
can improve your
score.

Lie determines the
proper approach
technique to use.

Do you know the
pitch and putt
technique?
This shot is a base
for approach shots.
You should try it
with all your clubs.

It's a chip shot, the
basis for approach.
Learning other
techniques after
mastering it leads
to success!

The condition of
the ball and the
ground will affect
the approach. Consider
lie and the green's
slope when you hit.

Did you think approach
shots only used the
SW or PW?
That's OK at first, but
you can't attack with
a wedge.
Use different clubs
and try shooting for
the pin!

Learning that in
such a short time
is impressive.

Do you know how to
put spin on a ball?
Try it on approach
with something
besides a putter.

Use the + Control Pad
after the Shot Gauge
begins moving.
Press up to make
the ball roll.
Press down to make
it stop quickly.

Putting spin on
the ball makes
the approach fun.
Using backspin
means its all up
to you!

Avoid hazards as
best you can.
But if you always
avoid them, you'll
never get a birdie,
so practice up!

Is spin helping
your approach?
Yeah, it really helps.

Spin shots are
helpful. Can you
do one?
They're tough at
first... It takes
getting used to.

After the Shot Gauge
starts moving, press
the + Control Pad
before the gauge
stops. Up will make
the ball roll, and
down will make it
stop more quickly.

I hear there's a
mysterious club
maker out there.
If you see any odd
terrain, check it out.

It's best to shoot
thinking you'll miss
the green.
If you miss and get
a bad lie, you
can't save par.

You must not shoot
on top or to the
side of a hill!
A tiny problem on
a tough approach
can end it.
Are spin shots
actually helping
your approach?
It sure does help.

Spin shots are
helpful. Can you
do one?
Press the + Control
Pad while the shot
gauge is moving.
Press up to make
the ball roll.
Press down to put
backspin on the
ball.

They're tough at
first... It takes
getting used to.

I hear there's a
strange club employee
out there.
If you see any odd
terrain, check it out.

It'd be amazing
if you became
Grand Champion!
To beat Grand
Champ <name>
is every
golfer's goal.

Everyone's trying to
be like you.
That's because
you can enter the
the Links Tournament.

If <name>, the
rookie, can make it,
so can we!

Shooting for a
downhill pin from
out of the rough
and behind a mound
is a hard approach.
Want to try me?
Aw! I wanted to
play someone who
placed at Links!

I can get within
3 yards 7 times
out of 10.
If you get within
3 yards more than 7
times, you win.

Omigosh! You did
it <number> times
out of <number>!

Too bad! You
only did it <number> times
out of <number>.

You win,
<name>.
My approach is no
match for yours.

My approach is no
match for yours.

I won! <name>,
you should practice!

Cutting across a
hill is a tough
approach.
I bet I can beat you
at this approach.
How about it?
Well, if not this
time, let's do it
another time.

I can get within
3 yards 7 times out
of 10.
If you can do it
more than 7 times,
you win. Ready?

You're good,
<name>! Out of
<number> tries, you made <number>!

Oh, <name>!
Only <number> times
out of <number>?

That's <number>
for you. I lose.
With your approach,
I'd reach the top!

With your approach,
I'd reach the top!

I win, <name>.
Come see me after
a little practice.

Let me congratulate
you on the
Grand Championship.
With that, I declare
that I will take
it from you.

Everyone's got their
eyes on you.
Beating the Grand
Champion is every
golfer's dream!

One of these days,
<name>, I'm
going to beat you!

Shooting for a
downhill pin from
out of the rough
and behind a mound
is a hard approach.
Want to try me?
Aw, I wanted to see
what the Grand Champ
could do!

I can get within
3 yards 7 times
out of 10.
If you get within
3 yards more than 7
times, you win.

Omigosh! You did
it <number>	times
out of <number>!

Too bad! You
only did it <number> times
out of <number>.

You win, <name>.
My approach can't
even compare
to yours.

Your approach
doesn't even
compare to mine.

I won! <name>,
you should practice!

Say hi to Peach
for me if you go
to the castle.

With your skills,
I could be
Grand Champion!

I use running in my
approach. Want me to
teach you?
The lower the club,
the more the ball
rolls.
When choosing a
club, consider run
from the green edge.

Running is easier
when there are no
obstacles within
60Y of the green.
Use a 3I to 9I to
approach the green!

When aiming for the
pin from a clear
spot, use run!

First, choose an
approach,
then a club.

Use a 5I to carry
the ball to the
green and roll it in.

See? It's simple!
Want to try?
First, choose
an approach.

Next, choose
a club.

OK. Now shoot!

At first it's
tough. But it's useful,
so practice hard!

You've got the
idea. Try putting
spin on it, too.

To practice on
your own, just
pick a spot.

What do you know!?!
Using a putter to
approach!

I'm using a chip
approach. Want to
learn it?
Chip shots use
carry and run to
approach.
The theory is to
attack using carry
and run.

If obstacles are
within 60Y of the
green, you can't
roll on. Instead,
carry it to the
green and then roll.

In these conditions,
use a chip shot.
You need a 20Y
carry to get 1 putt
away and save par.

First, choose
an approach,
then a club.

I'm gonna use
a pitching wedge.

Did you get that?
Want to try?
First, choose
an approach.

Next, choose
a club.

OK, shoot!

It's tough. A
sense of distance
is the key!

Good job!
I have to practice
to keep up!

I don't think any
shot's easy at first.
Try hard!
You're likely to use
the chip shot, so
practice it a lot.

I'm practicing a
bunker shot.
Interested?
With a bunker shot,
you explode sand to
free the ball.
That technique is
called an explosion.
You need the right
club to explode
sand and free the
ball. For a bunker
guarding the green,
use your SW.

A bunker that guards
the green is a guard
bunker.
From ball to pin,
I'd say it's about
20Y.

First, choose
an approach.

Next, choose
a club.

Carry it 15Y and
roll it 5Y. I'll
try it with a SW.

See? It's simple.
Want to try?
First, select
an approach.

Then, choose
a club.

OK, shoot!

It's hard at
first, so keep
practicing.

Yeah, you've got
it. Try putting
spin on it, too.

To practice on
your own, choose
a spot and swing!

I'm trying running
approaches on
sloped greens.
Getting a sense of
distance is hard.
Want to try?
Choose a club to
match the distance
from ball to green.
It'll help you get
a sense for putting
on sloped greens.

On a sloped green,
try to get a sense
of the distance to
be climbed. Also keep
in mind that you
can't calculate the
run from the
fairway.

That's a serious
climb from the
ball to the pin.
If I don't get my
ball up that hill,
I won't make par.

First, check the
distance.

Then a club, but...

It's only 2Y to
the green edge, so
I'll use a putter.

Got it? Do you
want to try?
First, check the
distance.

Then, choose
a club.

OK. Shoot!

I guess it's hard.
A sense for dis-
tance is the key.

Hey, you're good!
I'm gonna train,
so I won't lose!

On a sloped green,
getting the ball
to the same level
as the pin is a
successful putt.

You can't approach
a pin at the near
end of a green that's
guarded by a
hazard, right?
Huh? Can you do a
lob shot, <name>?
Yeah, I need to
master that, too.

I wish I could get
the ball right to the
pin on those shots.
You can with a
lob shot.

Approaching a pin
that's 5Y from a
guard bunker is a
tough shot, but a
20Y lob shot puts
you right there!

First, select
an approach.

Next, choose
a club.

I want a 20Y carry
and a 5Y run. I'll
use my SW. Start
the cursor, then
press down on the
+ Control Pad
for backspin.

Hmm, not bad!
Want to try?
First, select
an approach.

Next, choose
a club.

OK. Give it a try!

It's a tough but
necessary shot, so
practice up!

You missed 'cause
you didn't use
backspin.
You should practice
putting spin on
the ball.

You did it! You're
a quick learner!

Use the spot over
there to practice
on your own.

Aiming for the pin
from below a steep
climb to the green
is hard. You can't
save par then, right?
If you don't think it's
hard, you must be good.

To attack, roll the
ball to the pin.
Use a high ball, and
you'll end up with a
big miss.

The 10Y from ball
to green is flat,
but the next 10Y...
It's 5Y from there
to the pin, so it
has to stop there.

First, select
an approach.

Next, choose
a club.

I can't judge how
the fairway rolls,
so an iron is best.
A 7I's low shot can
carry it and roll
it up the green.

Did you get that?
Want to try?
First, select
an approach.

Next, select a club.

OK. Shoot!

It's hard. A sense
of distance is
the key.

Nice job! Try
this shot with
topspin, too.

On sloped greens,
just nearing the pin
is fine.

Hey! You did it!
And with a putter!
You did that
'cause I said I
needed an iron,
didn't you?

Going over a mound
from the rough to
a downhill pin is
hard. If the pin's
close on an angled
line...No way, eh?
If you can make
that, you can
make anything!

Don't be pressured
by hard approaches,
but approach so
you can still try
an uphill putt
even if you miss.

It's almost impos-
sible to get to
the pin, but I'll
try. Find the line,
and hit a soft ball to
stop near the pin.

First, choose
an approach.

Next, choose
a club.

Carry the ball up
the mound and roll
it to approach.
Use the PW and
put backspin on
the ball.

There! Now I can
hole out in 1 putt.
Want to try?
First, select
an approach.

Next, choose
a club.

OK. Give it a try.

It's a real
delicate shot,
so keep trying.

It didn't work
'cause you didn't
use backspin.
Practice putting
spin on the ball.

Wow! You did it!
You've got it!

Use that spot there
to practice on
your own.

Cutting across a
steep slope is hard,
don't ya think?
It takes an eye to
read lines...
You've got it!

Reading the ball's
line is the key
to that shot.

High shots need
better aim, so
they're tough.
So, carry it to
the green and roll
with the slope!

First, select
an approach.

Then, choose
a club.

You want carry and
run to be about
the same.
I think a 5I with
no spin should
work well.

I think I can make
that slope in 1
putt. Want to try?
First, choose
an approach.

Next, choose
your club.

OK. Hit the ball.

Yeah, it's tough.
Your power and the
line are key.

Hey-hey! Nice work!
Try it with
topspin, too.

If you can get
below the pin,
that's great!

Try again?

Want to try again?

Want to
practice here?

Keep practicing?

<name> quit
practicing.

Lesson character.

Do you know what
you need for a
good shot?
You have to adjust
your aim according to
the ball's lie.

Distance isn't
enough for a
good shot.
A plan of attack for
each hole and good
shots are key!

Sometimes, you
can't use a 1W
'cause of trees
and hazards. You
just have to do it
with a short club.

It's a good idea to
learn terms for
different shots.
For a rightie, curving
left is a hook, while
right is a slice.

You want to drive
the ball farther? 

Then master a
high shot to use
with tailwinds.

Then you like
accuracy more?
Then use a low shot
in headwinds - it'll
be affected less.

An accurate shot is
one of golf's basic
principles.
But that kind of
shot takes diligent
practice.

If your tee shot's
right on, hazards
are no sweat. But
if not, adjust
your impact point
to compensate.

Power shots are
limited, so don't
use 'em all up.
Make a perfect
power shot and
you won't lose it.

Can you hit
farther now?
I'm jealous. But
hitting farther means
less control.

Do you want to
hit farther?
Don't forget, a long
drive is every golfer's
dream.

Amazing! You know
a moderate drive
means steady scores.
Assess worst-case
scenario risk on
trouble shots.

If you don't miss
on trouble shots,
you can come back.
Putting your mind
to it tends to
work quite well.

<name>, can
you hit a hook
and a slice?
Yeah, as much as
you've played, you
should be able to.

Experience is all
it takes, so don't
rush yourself.

Obviously, trouble
shots are really
tough shots. Since
they're so hard,
you can't make
them every time.

Don't give up if
there's any chance
at all.

I wonder when
<name> got
such a good shot?

Just don't mis-
hit, and you'll
avoid trouble.
But whatever
trouble you're in,
just be confident.

Aim for a spot on
green that's
easy to putt from.
If it's a straight
line, you just
might sink it.

Want to see who's
best at shooting
from the trees?
I'm confident I
can make this
trouble shot.
I wanted to com-
pete against some-
one of your level.

Whoever gets out
of the woods and
closest to the pin
wins. I'll go
first.

A SW is good for
just getting out
of the woods.
But to get on
green, I'll gamble
on a longer club.

Normal power
should work.

I'll use side- and
backspin to curve
it past the trees
and onto the
green. It's tough.
No mis-hitting!

Hmm, not max-power,
but it'll work.
OK. Your shot!

Hmmm, you're closer
than me. Dang!
You win!

You're farther
away! You lose!

Master trouble
shots, or you've no
chance of winning.

Master trouble
shots, or you've no
chance of winning.

<name>! Wanna
see who can hit an
"eyeball" the best?
Come try me if you
win the Links
Club Tournament.
OK. Aim for that
green from this
bunker.

You can't use just
any shot to get on
green from here.
However you do it,
closest to the pin
wins. Me first!

Hmm... Not too bad.
OK. Your turn.

Yes! That was great!
All right. Now
it's your turn!

Tch! You're closer
than me. Well,
I guess you win.

YAY-HEY! You're
farther away, so you
lose this match.

I'll practice some
more and try
you again.

I'll practice some
more and try
you again.

Congrats on winning
the Links
Championship.
Practicing after
making Grand Champ...
You're dedicated!

The Grand Champ
has the privilege
of entering Peach's
Tournament. I
hear Mario's not
the only expert!

Winning Peach's
Tournament proves
you're the best.

Some champs get
stuck-up and quit
practicing after
reaching the top.
But you're here,
so I know you're
not like them.

You beat <name>, so
you're the best
right now.
I can't wait to see
how your match with
Mario turns out.

I'm practicing
driver tee shots.
Want to see?
It applies to any
shot, but be wary
of height on long
drives. In a head-
wind,  you'll lose
distance.

The more strategic
the course, the
sharper your aim
should be on the
tee shot. Even if
the fairway seems
open, you have to
know your target.

Thinking in real
terms, my 2nd shot
should land here.
But if I want to
use this tailwind,
I should hit high.

First, choose
a club.

On a 4- or 5-par
hole, a 1W should
be fine for me.

I gain distance with
a power shot, so I'll
use that.

This is real practice.
Want to try?
First, choose
a club.

Next, choose
a power shot.

OK, give it a try!

If you're not used
to power tee shots,
it takes practice.

I think that's OK
normally, but try
for more accuracy.

WOW! A perfect
power shot!
You're talented!

For a wood shot,
practice with normal
power first.
Once you can do
those, work on your
power shots.

Hey, NICE SHOT!
You've got talent!

I'm doing iron shots.
Want to watch me
practice?
An iron is an
offensive club for
attacking the green.
Shorter irons are
more accurate for
an easier approach.

The 1I, 2I and wedges
are used based on
their distances.

Irons with loft
are easily affect-
ed by wind, so club
selection's important.
Watch! I'm aiming
for the green.

Normal power is
enough for accu-
rate iron shots.

Next, select
a club.

In a tailwind, I use
one club lower than
normal.

Getting on with the
2I was lucky.
Want to try?
First, choose a
club, but consider
the wind.

Next, choose your
power. Isn't
normal fine?

OK. Now swing.

Passing the green
on an iron shot
means trouble.
Try practicing
some more.

Long iron shots
are tough, but get
closer to the pin.

You have an amazing
sense for distance
and direction!

Practice iron shots
by aiming for the
middle of the green.
Shooting for the
pin's too risky, so
start off easy.

Eh? I'm working on
intentional shots.
Yeah, purposely
curving my shot.
Want to try?
If you're right
behind a tree, you
can't aim for the
green, right? With
a hook or slice
you can. Try it!

On harder courses,
if you can't hook
and slice, you won't
make score. Intentional
shots help if you're
stuck between traps.

That tree blocks
you from getting
a good lie from
here. You could
hit a high ball,
but try sidespin.

You need accuracy,
so just use
normal power.

Next, select a club.

Use the 1W for
distance from the
tee, as usual.
Once the cursor
starts moving,
immediately press
the + Control Pad
in the direction
opposite the one
in which you wish
the ball to curve.
Keep holding the
+ Control Pad
until impact.

OK. It went well.
So, will you try?
There's another way
to do it, though.
Move your impact
left or right to
trade distance
for curvature.

First, select
Normal Power.

Next, choose
a club.

OK. Hit it!

Timing's key with
intentional shots,
so keep trying.

That much deviation
is enough. Try it
on the course.

It's supposed to
be tough, but you
did it! Nice job!

You hit a tree but
still curved it
in! Very nice!

You didn't touch
the + Control Pad...
That's why.
Keep trying until
you get used to
using sidespin.

Keep trying until
you can easily
shoot around trees.

I'm practicing
wind shots. Want
to study with me?
Use lower clubs in
tailwinds and higher
ones in headwinds.

If you ever hit it
right but didn't
get to the pin,
it's probably
'cause you didn't
gauge the wind.

If your club only
gets you to the
middle of the
green, you'll come
up short. But a
higher club puts
you over, so you
have to consider
strength, too.

For an accurate
iron shot, normal
power is fine.

Next, choose
a club.

It looks like a
headwind. I'll try
a bigger club.

Hmm! Pretty good!
My club selection
was right - that's
why! OK. Do you
want to try?
In a tailwind, use
a smaller club, so
you don't overshoot.

First, normal
power should do.

Now choose a club.
Use something a
little bigger.

OK. Give it a try.

Keep practicing, so
you won't over-
shoot the green.

The secret to strong
winds is adjusting
clubs and power.

You have a good
iron shot. Getting
that close is OK!

In theory, you attack
a two-tiered green
from head-on.
But if there's a
hazard, isn't it
dangerous?
You think it's
easy, <name>?
Hmm, I guess it's
hard for me 'cause
I'm not so good.

Avoid the hazard
by aiming for the
back of the green.
Hit a high ball
right at the pin.
It should work.

It's impossible to
approach this kind
of hole with a
standard shot, so
try dropping right
down onto the pin.

Normal power
should be fine.

Next, choose
a club.

Once the gauge
starts moving,
press down on the
+ Control Pad.

Keep holding the
+ Control Pad
until impact.

That was so-so.
Want to try?
First, choose
a club.

Next, set your
power to normal.

OK. Give it a try.

Just hold the +
Control Pad down.
Keep practicing.

That's it! Polish
your technique to
get closer.

That's great for
such a hard shot!
You have talent!

You can use high
trajectories in
many situations.

Landing in the trees
on a missed shot is
trouble.
Want to learn a
good recovery shot
for that situation?
Usually, you curve
left or right to avoid
an obstacle,
but there's actually
another route.

You can use a
slice or hook, but
there's another
way. You can try
shooting over or
under the trees.

Usually, you can't
get to the green
through trees,
but you might be
able to if you use
a low trajectory.

First,  choose your
shot, but...
power shots fly
higher, so use
normal power.

Next, choose
a club.

Big clubs are best
for low trajectories,
so use a 2I.

If I could hit it over
there, that'd be
great.
Now it's your turn, OK?
First, you want to
hit with normal
power.

Now choose a club.
In light rough,
a 3W or bigger is
trouble. You can't
go wrong with a 2I
or thereabouts.

OK. Let's see it!

Hmm...You didn't get
it onto the
fairway...This is
a trouble shot, so
you have to get
back to the fairway.

That's really good
for a trouble
shot!

On trouble shots,
consider all
possibilities before
choosing your shot.

Oh! You landed on
the next fairway over!
It's fine if you
land on the fair-
way, but...

Land in the trees,
and you should
settle for a bogey,
but sometimes you
can risk going for
the green, right?
Anyone who misses
wants to do
whatever it takes
to recover. I
can't always ignore
that feeling.

For high risk
shots, you should
just play it safe,
but sometimes you
have to take risks
in competition.

Use a SW if you're
just trying to get
out of the woods,
but consider all
the options if you
want the green.

Normal power
should do.

Now choose a club.

I'm curving towards
the green to get
out of the trees
and on green. As
soon as the gauge
moves, press the
+ Control Pad
to curve the ball.

You have to hold
it until impact.

See! I'm on the
green and can try
for a birdie.
Want to try?
First, choose your shot.

Next, choose
a club.

OK. Hit the ball.

You're not hitting
straight, so don't
hurry.

That's it. Refine
your technique to
get closer.

That's great for
such a hard shot.
You learn quickly!

On these shots,
consider all
options, then shoot.

When it's buried
in sand, the meet
area gets smaller.
When the pressure
is on, aren't
birdies tough?
Nice shots aren't
easy if the meet
area is small.
You have think of
these shots as
a gamble.

To approach the
green, you have to
take a risk.
Keep that in mind
as you listen to
me.

You lose distance
when the ball's
buried in sand.
But you can get a
birdie with just
a little distance.

When shooting a
long drive, a nice
shot means success.
You need distance
to approach the
green, so use power.

Now choose a club.

If it's buried
in sand, a 2I is the
best choice.

OK. Here I go.

There, I did it.
Don't worry about
the bunker, just
swing. Now it's
your turn, OK?
First comes power.
For more distance
choose a power shot.

Next, choose your
club and be
bold about it.

OK. Stay focused
and swing.

Oops, it didn't go
so well...
If you worry about
the meet area,
you'll miss.

You got out of the
bunker, but didn't
make the green.
Next time, get
on the green.

That's really good
for a trouble shot.

Watch your timing
when the meet
area is small.

Good. Refine your
technique to get
closer to the pin.

It's you.
Do you know the
saying: "Putting
has no form?"
But you have to
reach the cup.
It'll never sink,
otherwise.
It means that to
sink the ball,
any form is fine.

The arrows on
the green point
downhill.
Read the arrows to
see where the ball
will roll.

Balls roll downhill
quickly, so putt
softly.
If you can, hit it
harder when putting
uphill!

My dream is to win
the Club Tournament.
Becoming Club
Champ is the
greatest honor.

They say Mario's
putting is
unbelievable!
If only I could
putt like Mario...
I'd lower my score!

Never up, never in
- climb the hill
to reach the pin!

He was stepping
over my putting
line!
It's better than
stepping on it,
but what manners!

Huh? If you want,
I'll move my marker.

Who's dragging their
feet as they walk
on the green?
You have to fix
any damage done
by your spikes!

I don't get to putt
first, so...
Wait a second,
let me mark
my ball.

You play golf in
groups, so don't
impose on others!
If you just read
the lines, you
won't take so long.

Have your hands ever
quit working when
addressing a putt?

Why are my hands
shaking?
Shaky hands when
putting is called
yips, but me?!?

I have the habit
of not paying
attention to my
putt. I've already
lost 3 strokes
because of it!

The say half of
your score comes
from putting.
You should spend
as much time on
putts as the pros!

Never up, never
in. No matter how
good my putt is,
I can't seem to
reach the cup!

The harder the
course, the harder
the greens.
I just can't
understand
complicated lines.

Putting up and
across a slope
is tough.
If I can, I want
my uphill putts
to be straight.

A person's putt
depends on their
personality.
Aggressive people
bounce in from
the far lip.

People who putt
the exact distance
to the cup are
putting masters.
The final roll
barely carries it in.

Some people use a
putter from near
the green, but
distance is the problem.

Experience tells
all when it comes
to sloped putts.

Even after making
Grand Champion,
your goal of
defeating Mario
still lies before
you.

The undulations on
greens on Peach's
course are huge.

Don't think you've
mastered golf just
because you're
Grand Champ. Golf's
an endless battle
with the elements.

In golf, course
conditions change
depending on wind
and pin position.
You never get the
same ones twice.

You can't overcome
undulated greens
with putting alone.
You have to be
able to position
it on the green.

I'm no master like
Mario, but my
putting's great!
How about it?
Will you take
me on?

Did you win
the <course>
Club Tournament?
Did you place in
the <course>
Club Tournament?
Hmph! Then who?

How about it? Can
you take me on?
I thought we could
play together...

OK. Let's do it.
I can hit that
circle 7 times
out of 10.
If you do it 7 or
more times,
you win! Let's go!

Omigosh!
Out of <number>,
you made <number>!

Aw, too bad.
Out of <number>,
you made <number>.

You're something
else, <name>!
Now I know just
how good your

They say once you
pick up golf,
you'll never quit.

Even here there
are total golf
fanatics!

And they've begun
aiming for the
strongest!

Aiming for that
target from that
tee isn't practice!

I'll acknowledge your
skill if you hit the
target from here.

Hmph! Today's
golfers have no
tenacity! Pity!

You're all wrong!

I'm telling you,
you have to shoot
from here!

Tch! Today's
golfers are
pitiful!

You're good for
one so young!

I'm thoroughly
impressed by
your golf skills!

Keep up that pace
and perfect your
swing!

Golf is in your
blood! You shall
be a master!
Come see me when
you are confident
in your powers.

Your studies are
lacking. Earn more
experience!

The door is locked.

Shoot from here?
Hmm, you improved!
Are you going to
show me how much?

This target is
slightly different
from the last.
Shoot from here.
It takes a fine
golfer to sink it.

Don't you get it?
I'm telling you
it's here!

Hmph!

You're something else!

By the way, is
your shot a fade?
Mmm...I could tell
just by watching
your form.

If you like, I'll
change your fade
into a draw...
You only get one
chance... Shall I
change your shot?

By the way, is
your shot a draw?
Mmm...I could tell
just by watching
your form.

If you like, I'll
change your draw
into a fade...
You only get one
chance... Shall I
change your shot?

Changed your mind?
Came to change
your shot?
I'll only do it
once. Shall I make
your fade a draw?
Your shot has
been changed from
a fade to a draw!

I'll only do it
once. Shall I make
your draw a fade?
Your shot has
been changed from
a draw to a fade!

If you change your
mind, let me know.
I'm always here.

Mario's equal, eh?
When you're better
than that, I'll be
watching you.
Keep training and
don't regress!

Great! Now for the
next challenge!

Those darn kids!
Balls everywhere!

Won't anyone help
me pick up these
balls?

Can you do me
a favor?
Yeah, whoever hit
the balls all over
should clean up.

I want you to hit
these balls into
that circle.
See? Get 'em in the
circle, like this!

But don't take
too long...I'm
pretty impatient.

You're too slow.

Tch. I'll do these.
You do the next
bunch!

No help at all...!

Mmm, those are fine.
I'll do the rest.

We finally finished!
Come and help me
next time, too. OK?

We did it! Thank you
so much!

Amazing! You could
manage this place!
Want to try?
I thought so. Too
bad. You've got
what it takes!
But you really did
help me out!
Thank you!

Yes! I'm so happy!
Now you clean up
instead of me!

See you around.

HAH! Just kidding!

Didn't mean to
scare you. Thank
you for your help!

I clean, then they
mess it up!
It makes me sick!

Want to play?
Just like I said,
it's all rhythm!

Ah, no good. But
unplayables are
the absolute worst!

I'm begging you,
please. Give up.

But I can get on
green from here!

"What am I doing?"

His tee shot
landed over here.

Every time I shoot
for the green,
I dunk it...

So call it unplay-
able and mulligan,
or give up, right?

No! No! NO! There's
got to be a way
to do this!

But, you're in the
rough, so your wood
won't reach, right?
A power hitter's
one thing, but you
can only hit 130Y.

Don't you think?
You think so, too?
See! Give up!

Then let's see
you try it!

Maybe it's
impossible?

Keep trying?
Then go to it!

Yup. Give up!

HAH! See!
It can't be done!

I guess not...

Awesome shot!

You can make it
from here!?!

But I don't think
I could make that.

NICE ON!

You can do it
like that!?!

Here I go!

You did it!

I did it!

Thanks! You showed
me the way!

Well, let's hole
out before we
lose daylight!

Gimme back my hat,
you stupid crow!

I'm gonna get
that hat back!

OH! You idiot!

The crow's
flying away!

AH! It went off
to eat my hat!

Oh! That dang crow!
It's gone again!

If the ball hits
the pin, it should
scare the crow and
make it drop my
hat. Can't you get
my hat back?

Hey! The crow came
back! Now's your
chance to get it!

Play from here?
It dropped my hat.

You did it! YES!
You got my hat
back from the
crow!

Now I can finally
go home!

Thank you! I'll
never forget you!

Will someone
please come play
with us?

We want to play
the Dune Club
course...

We need another
member to play an
alternate game...

Hey, you entered
the Dune Club
Tournament, right?
I'm terrible, so I
can only play if my
partner's good.
They'd let me play
with someone who
placed.

I thought so! Will
you play with me?
Please!
Yeah, I'm just
a liability.

Really? Awright!

We can play
alternate rules!

A team of 2 takes
turns hitting the
same ball, OK?

This low-level
player is hoping
for an upset.

When you're as good
as <name>, there's
no denying it!

With a champ like
<name>, there
is no denying it!

Please start now.

We can play Dune
Club, thanks to
<name>.

Yeah, thanks a lot!

Compete by taking
turns hitting one
ball.

Will you start,
<name>?
OK then, me first?
We lost...

But it was fun!

Plus, we got to
play Dune Club!

Let's play
alternate rules
again!

OK, let's go.

It's a tie...

But it was fun!

Plus, we got to
play Dune Club!

Let's play
alternate rules
again!

OK, let's go.

We won!

We won, thanks
to <name>!

It's all your
doing! Thanks,
<name>!

I can't believe
it! Nice win,
<name>.

Let's practice, so
we don't lose to
<name> again.

Hey, <name>!
Thanks for the
other day. That
was really fun!
Want to play again?
...Aw, alright.
Maybe next time.

Yeah? All right!
Which rules,
stroke or match?

...maybe next time.

Will you test your
skills on this
short course?
Get on in 1 stroke and
sink it with 1 putt
on each hole!

Only Mario's got-
ten on in one
on every hole...

Wanna try stroke
play on this
short course?
So, what did
you shoot?

Hmm...Looks like
it didn't go well.

Today's golfers
have a ways to go.

Oh-hoh! You made
it on in one
on every hole!
But not being able
to hole out with
1 putt hurts.

Oh-hoh! Shooting
<number> is great!

But not getting
on in one
doesn't cut it.

Why, <name>!
You got on in one
and shot a <number>!

That's amazing!

Today's golfers
give it their all!

You've equaled Mario,
<name>! You can play
here anytime!

So, will you play?
The coaches here
are first rate!

Coach's eye turned
my slice into a
long-distance hook!

If you want to
improve, get the
coaches' opinions.

You've got good
distance for an
amateur.
You've got a
strong hook with
a high trajectory.

If you want to
compete, you need
more distance.
Fix that hook,
and lower your
trajectory.

You want your
shot judged?

It's a ball that

You can't get a
tight shot if you
waver on impact.
Avoid shots with
narrow meet areas!

It's hard to judge
a shot at less
than max. power.
If that's your
best shot, hit
with heavier clubs.

impact.
Learn rhythm and
timing through practice.

That CAN'T be a
serious shot!?!
If it is, you need

I don't judge
mis-hits.

You shot a hook,
so you must have
some skill.
But I only judge
natural shots.

know a slice?
Hit straight if
you want advice.

A ball with topspin!
Show off!
I see your skill,
now show me your
shot!

You put backspin
on the ball!
I can't judge your
shot that way.

I don't evaluate

Hey! You want me,

If you want me to,

Where to start...
It's pretty well
balanced.
But my club makes
