[TAS] [Obsoleted] Arcade Neo Turf Masters "maximum score" by mamuuuut in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/...
This movie has been obsoleted by tasvideos.org/...
TAS originally published on 2014-11-22
In Neo Turf Masters, you can pick one of six available golfers and compete on a number of golf courses around the world, including Japan (Fujiyama Oriental Golf Club), America (Grand Canyon Golf Course), Australia (Blue Lagoon Golf Course), and Germany (Baden Golf Course). The game features two modes of play: Stroke Play, in which the player attempts to get the best score by playing all 18 holes, and Match Play, in which two players compete to see who can win more of the 18 holes.
This run by mamuuuut ( tasvideos.org/... ) plays the toughest course (Australia) and aims to get the lowest (best) final score while showing off unusual or unexpected paths.

Those types of touches can REALLY make or break a golf game. I'm a fan of the newest everybody's golf because they added so much small touches like that,

[@thenumberquelve158]

The trophy you're holding at the end is literally just the Wanamaker Trophy for the PGA Championship. My headcanon is, once they saw you shoot 29 in this random course in Australia, they just flew the Wanamaker Trophy all the way from the United States and declared you the champion of golf for life.

[@charlesprichard5235]

Man wins golf "You mean he won a round of golf?" No he literally won all of golf

[@Sparty1966grad]

Totally right. Until someone can get a hole in one on a par 5, this is as good as it gets.

[@paxhumana2015]

The term Albatross is also known as a Double Eagle, particularly in the USA, and it means that a person has shot three under Par on a Hole. The rarest, as well as most difficult, shot to obtain in a game of golf is called a Condor, which is a shot that is at least four under Par. Moreover, a shot that is at the Eagle level or higher can also double as a Hole In One, depending on the hole, though getting a Condor that also doubles as a Hole In One has only happened four times in the recorded history of golf.

[@tommylakindasorta3068]

I was thinking, why had I not heard those terms before? And then I realized, I've never heard of anyone playing well enough to get one.

[@Eidenhoek]

@@tommylakindasorta3068 It's less about playing well, I'd think, and more about how you'd need an absurd amount of distance to get to the green that quickly.

[@XenoGuru]

​@Eidenhoek It could possibly be done on a shorter par 5 from the ladies tees. 🤷

[@speedymatt1236]

[@JoLiKMC]

I am absolutely _convinced_ this this game was made by the same people who made the _Metal Slug_ series. The music and sound design are _so_ very similar, even though the games could not be much different. And that makes this golf game absolutely _amazing._ (And this TAS makes the game seem even _more_ amazing. Nicely done, mamuuuut!)

[@BazZx]

well yes, it was made by SNK after all.

[@evieraotacon]

Ironically both games came out in 1996

[@pigfish99]

Nazca made this game, and did indeed make metal slug! They were brought into snk afterwords.

[@mostverticalproductions4808]

It is. Kinte, the director of Neo Turf, also served as planner for R-Type 2.
