3 click swing feedback on power
Can a dev have a quick look at the old Links golf 2003 and make the 3 click this fast for a proper challenge please. Hard mode should be hard.

@TriumphRiderwas it the Off The Tee challenge you were trying, and possibly using the Power Drive shot? If so note that as you switch between this and the regular drive you'll see how the shaded dispersion zone is much larger for the power drive (it's intended as a risk/reward shot). Even the regular drive has a fair size dispersion zone and might explain what you saw but it feels more likely with a power drive...
I can appreciate where you are coming from, the problem is though I account for all of that when I play. I'm not new to golf games and all are different but you can get the gist of what you have to do and account for when playing.
I was playing the Consecutive Birdies challenge when it happened...but regardless, I have to admit it seems there is always some "justification" or "reason" even when someone posts an example on here.
Listen, they have already had a patch because the game has issues...and it still does. That isn't even debatable. There are greens that are still inconsistent.
Another thing is, and I can't speak for everyone, but the blue indicator accounts for A LOT. I can have level ground and 12mph wind and the indicator tells me the shot movement...or uneven ground and no wind and the indicator STILL tells me the movement. Now with that said, I can see the dispersion zone also. What I hit was a perfect shot according to the meter in both backswing and downswing, on a pretty straight fairway with Bubba Watson's stats...and the result was the same as if I hit the ball with a Twizzler. It was well outside the dispersion zone (which, by the way, the fairway would have to seriously bottleneck for the zone to be wider) and far from perfect.
We can't say, there is randomness in the game AND at the same time ask people to constantly post videos to prove what they are saying. I get posting is good for possible identification of a bug, glitch, etc. However, when you say there is deliberate randomness applied to the game, then is the justification either i think you did XY&Z wrong OR yep, randmoness...which would mean there is nothing wrong with the game, but if that was the case why are there patches? I think what most people take issue with is a sports skill game should be accurate if you have met all the parameters for the task. Not have an element of randomness that can cause you to fail. This also doesn't mean the game has to be easy...just consistent.

You can't totally prevent the random element though, which is why I was asking about shot type in case it gave you a way to complete the challenge. I was asking questions to try to help you, not somehow prove that you were wrong. There are loads of issues with people misunderstanding the game as it basically doesn't explain things at all! I'm also asking questions because if something is impossible or a bug then I want to see it resolved for everyone's benefit, including my own. When I suggested a video it was because it could either help demonstrate that there is a real issue that needs addressing, or potentially highlight something that you could do differently to make a challenge easier or increase your enjoyment of the game.
- @Ultrasonic_77 Well, I can understand as a basic golfer just starting out shots are not going to be perfect. I can completely understand a certain level of (what I would call) unexpectedness. Meaning, you are new and your shots may be off a bit here and there, bit will get better as you increase stats.
However, randomness implies...GOOD LUCK! Hahaha. Like, you might hit a good one, you might crap the bed regardless of your stats.
I get you are trying to provide assistance...it just seems because they have included so many technical aspects, it becomes an easy way to give them an out even if it may not really be the cause.
To be honest, I haven't played too many games where they include randomness or a basic uncertain outcome when all the parameters are followed. That would essentially mean if you were playing an FPS they could say, yea you were lined up square on the enemies head and only 25% of your shots landed...so sorry, randomness. Haha.
On these spotlight challenges you are essentially playing as the pros so there should be a somewhat decent degree of skill entered into the equation...randomness really shouldn't be much of a factor unless you are using a created golfer.My golfer is rated higher than the pros (92) and the dispersion area for some shots is still huge even with almost max stats on control and recovery. Pick, flop, high flop, long flop, spinner, all have big "landing areas." I can hit the same flop shot and be over 10ft off in any direction. On power drives my dispersion can be the width of the whole FW. If you have a tight hole or need to barely clear a tree on the right/ left the luck of the shot can really screw you over even if you execute perfectly. Originally i thought over swinging might play a factor, but now with 3 click even a perfect/perfect shot will do the same. For approaches I use finese shot whenever possible because my circle is tiny, but it spins less so can't use it with low irons or big down winds
- @jitter77 Yep...this is what I was talking about. It seems they have almost taken a lot of the "skill" out of the game. As ultrasonic mentioned with randomness, it seems they have left a lot up to chance. That shouldn't be so much of a factor, ESPECIALLY with a character at 92.
Also, we need to talk about getting you a woman...92? You serious, my guy? Hahaha
