Notably the EA flop challenge in Around the green. Make one flop. Dumb. I spent an hour trying to do this and it's just too unpredictable, which is characteristic of flop shots. Challenges that feel like nothing more than a casino with terrible odds are not fun.Same for the wood and hybrid challenge in the titileist challenge. Hit 3 within 15 feet? Give me a break. Way too much variation in landing zone and roll speed. Not fun.Requiring that kind of precision on shots that are by their nature not that precise is just frustrating. Just landing on the green with a wood would be very acceptable to even the best golfers. 15 from the pin would be a bonus.

The Open Jordan Spieth challenge starts in the middle of the crowd on PS5 and the only shot you have is straight into someone’s backside!

I wonder if they tested it prior to release.

@Buzmaniii I went through the trees also. Definitely takes several tries to get it right...probably not how you are supposed to do it, hahaha. As long as it is complete though!

Yeah, I was a glutton for punishment, so I kept trying it! It does seem the only way is to hit a high draw 9-iron and take your chances through the tree. I wasn't able to get all 5 on though. It's hard to imagine getting one close.

@Buzmaniii I didn't have any problems with this one. For your golfer on identity make sure your bank flight is set to high. I went right over the trees with a PW normal shot.

Haha yeah I’ve spent a good couple of hours in total trying to make that flop shot. Complete lottery.

@ApexAZ Oh yea...some of them are not easy. I got lucky on the flop, still took a while though. Wish the max level was a tad higher and they gave you more XP for how long some of them take.
