    Warning: Gaining this trophy can be pure luck even with the best aproach tactic.

    Select the Course "Little Brook Manor".

    1. Watch the wind. Best option is to have the wind below 6 Mph in any directon. But prefered towards the whole or crosswind. Note that direction and speed are purely random but can depend on the time set. If the wind is not in favor for you, just start over the course. Another option is to manually change the clock on your system settings while you play the game.

    2. On the first hole, select a Sand Wedge, aim for the middle of the fairway and shoot with aprox. 90% power so that you'll land in about 25x yards distance to the hole.

    3. If you need to cover a few more yards, use a Lob Wedge with low power in the needed diretion

    4. When your ball lays in about 250 yards to the pin, aim directly for the hole. Slightly adjust to the side to eventually compensate the wind. Now you gotta have to hit the ball perfectly straight with 100% power.

    5. If the ball is flying directly into the direction of the pin you're good. When the ball hits the ground for the first time right in front of the fringe (the green edge) it should just roll enough to stop ~1 yard to the pin. If not, start over.

    Like I mentioned in the beginning. You'll need much luck, Trial & Error is mandatory.
