Putts take two taps. Hit the strike zone's centre line to fly straight; better clubs bend less. No more grass hiding your ball by the greens.

There is a chest for your things, a chess table with the same games and stakes as the Chess Park, and a row of four Fortune Engines on the north wall.

Every stroke now starts facing the pin. And if you leave the game in the middle of a round, you come back in the clubhouse, not out on the course.

New characters with a wallet now start on Tutorial Island. A guide, a gold arrow and a goal box walk you through every station, then the ferry rows you home.

Cats prowl the town, a stone bridge crosses the mountain trail, and metal armour now hampers spells and arrows. Five tiers of mage robes and of ranged armour to wear instead.

The swing works on phones: one touch is one press, so you always get the strike tap after the power tap. The course is smooth mown turf, the ponds sit in the ground, and a cobbled road with lamps runs from Saltmere's streets to the clubhouse.

Isla the club pro sells four club sets, from the Starter (500 GOLD) to the Master (40,000): better clubs hit further and give you more room on the swing meter. You need a set to play.

The best rounds go on the board by the clubhouse door, lowest first. Par is 71.

Press to start the swing, again for the power (hit the gold MAX mark for a bonus) and again on the line for a clean strike. Watch the wind, the lie, the bunkers and a lot of water. On the greens the drifting dots show the break.

Fergus the starter sends you out alone or with a group of up to four. Play for fun, or for GOLF: winner takes the pot, or so much a stroke. The @ashvale Bank holds the stakes and pays out when the round is done.
