Thanks, that's interesting to hear. I need to think about how to make hard mode more discoverable.

I do think you can actually get good at zen mode as well, but it takes a bit of practice. Having played a lot, I can usually set up the trickshot I intended and get it most of the way there - and when it doesn't, it's usually quite funny anyway. It's definitely a steeper learning curve than DG.

I'm definitely coming round to the idea of a ghost arrow in hard mode. Your idea about a shot and a putt is also very good - perhaps that could even be the default mode..

Great feedback!

Oh I’ve got no doubt it’s possible to get good at zen mode — just a brutal learning curve for me that I wasn’t going to make it past without the helpful tip from another poster. :)

Yeah, perhaps it is a bit too hard for a mass appeal. I'll have a think about what I can tweak. :)
