I've been looking forward to this video. A couple nuances: on hole 9, I think the best shot for the eagle is to hit the ball hard. I've never gotten it into the hole by hitting softly as in the video, but even the shot in the video would have had a high chance of going in if it were hit a bit harder because the angled rocks in the corner are so friendly, the only friendly rocks on the course except for on hole 13. The odds could be equal either way and this is just an observation based on a poor sample size, but I get way too many eagles on hole 9. On hole 7, I use the extreme right edge of the ramp. When I shoot straight, it seems like I always have to take a second shot to correct the position. From the extreme right edge, my odds are much better. But you do have to rely on good power and great line.

[@InnerPrincessVR]

Agree on both counts. Worth noting though that increased speed for hole 9, or smaller aiming area on the ramp for hole 7 both make the shot harder. This will affect the line accuracy on hole 9 (and although there’s a fair gap to aim for, that might already be a tough length of putt for some abilities), and on hole 7 the consequence of missing the ramp altogether is potentially damaging. The best shot though does undoubtedly come off the very fine right edge of that ramp

[@lancetschirhart7676]

​@@InnerPrincessVR ​ Yes, it's hard to keep a straight line while adding power for me too. That hasn't tripped me up on Hole 9 yet, but it definitely keeps me from the eagle on Hole 7. For those neither willing to take the catastrophic risk needed for the eagle, nor willing to bend over and take the par while pretending to like it, there is another option for Hole 7. The danger of Hole 7 is landing yourself in a position where going out of bounds on the second shot is a definite possibility but one that seems unlikely enough not to sacrifice a stroke to avoid. That is a recipe for disaster when the trajectory off the ramp is so sensitive to angle. My vote for best route goes to the one that eliminates this fiddly and uncertain element and guarantees a second shot to the green. It improves the chance for a birdie but also increases the chance of bogey over taking the safe par. But one man's "Safe Par" is another man's "Punishment For Selecting A Route That Relies On Luck," and since your highness is obviously too skilled to be dicking around with luck and pars, she should take some time to examine this route closely in Practice. It wouldn't surprise me at all if you had the magic touch to get birdies on this hole already, but I'll just assume you take a lot of pars. The first step is to restrict the ball to landing on the right edge of the central green. There are two ways to do this reliably without risking going out of bounds, and the easier one is to take a soft shot off the center-left of the first ramp, bouncing the ball onto the pillar directly left of its dark, carved protuberance. There must be a word for it, but I don't know that word. At 10:02, the ball takes this exact line. Use that line, just soft enough to bounce off of the pillar. This will ricochet off of the left wall very near the spot the ball ricochets off of at 10:07 Even if you overshoot the pillar entirely there's a good chance this will work, as it did in your video. There's room for error in this shot and a small chance to land perfectly aligned with the ramp, but the objective and most likely outcome is just to send the ball over to the right edge softly enough to stay in bounds. Anywhere in that area is fine. From some of these positions, there's that soft little chip-shot over the short rock and off the wall, near where the ball touches down at 10:40, but nearer to the hole. It'll land the ball within about a foot of the hole. It's not a hard shot, but I sometimes overshoot (out of bounds) or undershoot (catastrophic) which is why it isn't my preferred way to the green. Angle your club perpendicular to the ramp so that you are aiming left and slightly backwards. Then aim another 30 degrees backwards or so. This will bank off of the left wall and then off of a large rock that will send the ball in a perfectly direct line over the ramp and onto the green. The angle to aim at is actually fairly consistent no matter where you are, but the way to learn this is not to think about it in terms of angle alone. Angle is hard to memorize. That would be like learning the Arizona Hole 10 shot, which is a hard shot. Instead, just note that the wall has a slight angled kink in it within a foot of where you're supposed to ricochet. Use that as a benchmark to note the point where you're supposed to ricochet in relation to the king in the wall based on how far your ball is from the hole when you make the shot. Hit this , which changes a little bit depending on how close the ball is to the hole. If your ball hits this rock, anywhere at all, you're on the green. If you miss, the ball could land anywhere. There's a good chance you'll be aligned with the ramp, making the missed shot into a "safe par" kind of putt. There's a good chance you'll end up on the right edge, where you can take the shot again and not mess up this time. There's a slightly smaller chance (since it's a slightly smaller area) that you'll end up far left or in the top left corner. That is the unlucky scenario where you would need to add a stroke to correct and then take the bogey. So if you miss the shot, probable par. If you make the shot, you'll putt for birdie. How long the putt is depends where the rock was hit. It could be an eagle, it could be far away. Sorry, that got a bit long. And remember, my video taking stuff doesn't work right now.

Another great informative video with flawless technical realization. I am proud to be your partner in the European team that will fight against the rest of the world under the captaincy of the incomparable Symo.

Great job as usual. In my opinion this course is definitely the hardest in the game!

[@InnerPrincessVR]

The designers must have been in a bad mood when they made it...

@@InnerPrincessVR are you doing a fox hunt on the new course if so do you know where the past clue is?

Good luck! Let us know how you get on.

Great content!

[@ethangilbert7305]

I would say that the first hole is very consistent when bouncing off the corner. It has never failed me in a game and after a bunch of tries it has only went off the edge 3 times in practice. It seems very consistent and could yield a better shot for 2 and a possible worse shot for 2 but if your careful it should almost never go out of bounds

[@kevincrayton9054]

been waiting for this one lol

Sorry it’s taken so long, the back 9 is going to be a mission!

Hi, have you done a course guide video for the easy version of Seagull Stacks? I looked but haven't found one. Thanks!

[@InnerPrincessVR]

Not published yet, but working on it at the moment

[@misstessamarie]

Have a Hole in ones video for seagull stacks? Both versions? I’m stuck on a few hole that I just can’t figure it out

[@InnerPrincessVR]

They're on the to-do list, but won't be soon, sorry!

[@bobwiley6221]

I HATE this course. Hit it just a little bit too hard and triple bogey. Hit it just a little bit too soft, and triple bogey. But it is a good feeling when you hit it spot on! The absolute worst thing is the side stones. You never know where the ball is going.

[@dogsarmpits]

Like the narration.
