How to play Kinda Hard Golf

Aim
Drag the ball back in the opposite direction of your shot.
Shoot
Let go to hit. Longer drags hit harder.
Reach checkpoints
They save your spot so a bad shot does not send you to the start.
Get to the top
Finish in as few strokes as you can, ideally at or under par.

Golf that goes up

Kinda Hard Golf turns mini golf on its side. The hole is at the top of a climbing course, and you drag back to aim and let go to shoot. There is one new course a day for everyone, with a par to beat and checkpoints so a bad shot does not send you all the way back down.

Shots that work

Short drags are more accurate than long ones. Take two careful shots instead of one wild one.
Bank off walls. Many routes are easier off a wall than straight up.
Aim to land flat. A ball that lands on a ledge stays, one that lands on a slope rolls back.
Reach a checkpoint before taking risks. Once it is saved, a miss costs strokes, not progress.

Solutions, cheats and past courses

There is no cheat, and a written solution does not help much, because the hard part is the feel of the drag. Watching how others play a course on Reddit or Discord can show you a route you did not see. If you want to practice, look for older courses on the site and try them before today's.
