So, let's share our tips for the holes on this great game... as well as best scores. I'll try to update the OP periodically with suggestions by everyone.
Hole 1 Living Room (par 6, personal best 3)
Aim just a tap left and hit 100 power for your first shot. Then bank off the left rail of the ramp with ~75 power, bounce off the gift box, and you're at the base of the final ramp. Up and in!
Hole 2 Kitchen (par 6, personal best 4)
- Can anyone figure out a consistent way to get the first shot to end up at the base of the ramp out of the sink? I've done it once, but never again. That costs a stroke every time on this hole since I have to take a short shot to get lined up on that second ramp.
- (I also wish they'd get rid of the steam off the coffee cup, it's annoying and often makes the game jerky)
Hole 3 Toilet (par 6, personal best 3)
Aim left (tip of arrow into the darker green square of the ramp) with 70-85 power to end up at the top of the large downhill. Try to be on the far right edge of the downhill for best placement at the next jump.
Hole 4 Computer Room (par 7, personal best 6)
Nothing too sneaky here, other than I do know it's possible to shoot off the ruler ramp and all the way onto the upward spiral towards the hole (bouncing off the cassette tape to the right of the final ramp)
Hole 5 Dining Room (par 7, personal best 5)
Start by shooting straight ahead at 75-85 power. That should put you right in line for the green "U".
Hole 6 Toy Room (par 3, personal best 2)
Hit slightly up onto the ramp to the right with 40-45 power. Go down the big hill right on the center line and you're done.
Hole 7 Garage (par 6, personal best 6)
So far, the best method I've found is to start by going straight ahead at 100 power to end up on the far side of the green triangle. A careful shot should then use the ramp to jump the barrier, bounce off the box near the start point, and back towards the car wax jug.
Hole 8 Attic (par 6, personal best 5)
Use the aim you're given and hit 100 power to end up near the book. Up and into the tube. Hit 100 power again along the green zig-zag. Ideally you'll bounce off the open book at the end of it and be back against the green. Aim across the gap to the end table, almost at the spine of the book standing on edge. You can shoot full power, bounce off that book, and up and around to the hole.
Hole 9 Roof (par 5, personal best 7)
In my opinion, by far the hardest hole. I've heard rumors on here that there's some secret shortcut, but I've yet to find it. The best thing I've found is that you can use a full power shot to jump over the barrier at the top of the one ramp (the one where you're supposed to go through a small hole in the middle at the top of the ramp). If you're lined up at the side of the ramp instead of the middle, aim right up the edge at full power to jump over the barrier.
Otherwise, just start off with a full power shot straight ahead. Then a pretty strong shot up and around to the next "level" of the hole.
You must have a different version to me. All my holes are on a tabletop and I have never got a low enough score to get to stage two.
Anyway well done, I would be happy to get par.

The holes are all basically on table tops, but in different rooms. If you select "practice" mode you can see the names for each hole.
And hey, part of why I started this thread is to help you get to silver and gold levels :)
Thanks for the tips. I haven't got to the Silver cup level yet. Three or four times I came close and choked each time. Once I even had a 3 shot cushion at the last hole with the ball on the table of the green but I choked big time.
There is a shortcut on the rooftop, been awhile I will try to play it tonight so I can describe it well.
Also on the first screen there is another shot that can put you right in front of the last ramp but it is impossible to do consistantly at least for me. I have managed a two on this hole a half dozen times using this shot.
Looking at the first hole now - is your trick shot to aim to the left of the candy bar and jump over the knife? That's the only possibility I see, but I haven't succeeded yet.
And on the last hole, I think I've found a shortcut but haven't pulled it off yet either. After the second shot, when I assume you're on the "second level" of the hole, there's a fast food-type cup. Behind it there's a piece of wood running up the space between the 2nd and 3rd levels. If you're positioned right, you can I think shoot up this piece of wood to get onto the top level at the opposite end from the normal route.
edit: Just got really close on the first hole. I put the tip of the arrow right on the center line of the green tiles and used about 90 power. Jumped the knife, but bounced off the plate at the wrong angle.
edit 2: I can now consistently jump the knife, but not always get it lined up right for the ramp up to the hole. Still easier than my old route though.
edit 3: Man, I wish I could do screencaps in this - it'd make things so much easier to explain!!!
Your first hole is what I was talking about, though I think I was shooting for 93 power.
The last hole is also what I was talking about, just try to land near the corner of the board near the edge and angle a bit and I think it was about 80 power to get up to the top level which from there it is pretty simple.
Now if you could come up with some good tips for hole 4 I would appreciate it. I seem to consistantly do worst on it.
Great thread! Since I happen to play similarly to what's already been described, I'll just give my tricks for Hole 4, where I've gotten 5/7 and routinely get 6/7 (though the hole is indeed, IMHO, the trickiest of the course and I botch it quite often :))
1. Aim at the center (dark green) square's upper left corner and shoot at 69 power. This will line you up at the center of the next ramp.
2. Aim slightly to the left of the central line and shoot at 55 power. This will leave you right in the middle of the space in front of the ruler.
3. Aim at the center of the ruler and shoot at 85 power. This will leave you at the entrance of the spiral.
4. Aim at the middle of the diagonal pad right in front of you and shoot at 100 power. The ball should go around the spiral and stop before the final ramp.
5. Aim slightly diagonally and shoot at 65 power. Be especially careful not to shoot too strongly here! Depending on angle the ball will go straight into the hole, otherwise it will be a very simple shot for a birdie.
Is there any chance I can get it to work on my WM 2003 x50v?
