Playing golf as the hole is a lot funner than it sound. The physics are a little slow though.

This game is a lot of fun! Very satisfying take on the angles

very cool take on the theme

Double challenge to golf having to predict the swing as well as aim the hole ... great idea!

Took me 29 strokes to finish the 9 holes (mostly because of the first hole, LOL).

Not a very visually appealing game, but I have to say the execution is pretty good, and I like the idea of the hole acting also like the golf instead of just you moving it around. It challenges you a little bit to try to guess where the hole and the golf is gonna meet after each stroke.

This is a really clever idea, and I enjoy trying to maneuver my shots around where the ball is aiming, but there is one problem that nearly kills it for me. Because you start a shot by clicking the hole before dragging, if the hole is near the edge of the screen, you basically can't charge up anything more than a very low power shot. This could easily be fixed by just allowing a shot to be started from anywhere on the screen. You could also increase the friction so the ball and hole come to a stop faster, but that's a bit more of a nitpick. This is still a really fun game, but ironing out these issues would make it even better. Great Job!

You are able to start a shot from anywhere on the screen. I just forgot to say that you could.

Oh I thought I tried it and it and it didn't work. That makes it even better. Nice!

Nabbed a 23. Nice reversal. I think a subtle dirt shuffling noise could really sell the player's movement some, and think the sand traps being slower for the ball but faster for the hole could further complicate things in an interesting way. 

A solid base to a classic reinterpreted.

Nice game but waiting for the balls to stop moving takes ages.
