Get recovery shot?

Somebody please help me! I’m doing the sponsor challenges and I’m stuck at get 2 and get 3 recovery shots. I’ve hit the rough, bunkers and water and still can’t get a star. Help me before I lose my mind. I can’t go on purposely hitting into the rough and bunkers, reminds me too much of real life golf.

  • I just have this a quick try and the recovery shot star unlocked after I'd hit three shots from the rough onto the green. The first two were flops and the third a finesse. I'd played one shot from a bunker onto the green but presumably that didn't count.

    I hate challenges that require you to deliberately play badly!

  • @banshee1012 Is the challenge just getting the shot onto the green? Does it include getting the shot w/in a certain distance of the pin? In some cases, I've found it easier to settle for get 1-2 of the challenges completed and moving on :-)

    Bunker play: Best shot choice is the "Pick" which pretty much stops the ball immediately or a foot.

    Rough: Adjusting for distance and rollout the issue? Green elevation plays a part, along with club selection & shot type. Hard to discuss w/o knowing the actual situation.
  • It’s the description I’m confused about. “Get 3 recovery shots” I’ve tried hitting from the rough onto the green and from bunkers. Not sure where I’m going wrong.

  • Following as im stuck on the recovery shots too, im on the ping challenge (think 2nd one) get 2 recovery shots, 6 long drives and beat Cameron Champ.
