How to unlock the Aces High achievement

    I tried St. Andrews #9 a million times without success before I decided to try something else. I found hole #4 at TPC Boston to be the better choice, as you can use a 3 iron instead, thereby increasing your accuracy.

    With the Max Stats suit on, I had the flag at almost exactly 100% with my 3 iron, sunny weather, calm wind and medium pin difficulty (easy pin is way harder on this particular hole). Got it on the fifth try. The shot was at 100% with the wind blowing towards the hole at 1 mph.

    To sum it up:
    18 holes, TPC Boston #4 only
    Sunny weather, calm wind, medium pin difficulty
    Use the 3 iron and wear a Max Stats suit. I strongly recommend spending the MS Points to unlock this early on to avoid all the training sessions after each round.

    Good luck :)

    RagnarokrAwaitsThanks for the solution. Got second round after about 25 rounds on St. Andrews #9. Way better solution.

    --I uploaded the Hole In One I made to Gamernet, so please feel free to download it to help aid you in getting the achievement.

    The NerevarineYour solution is okay but I found the following settings much easier:

    Weather: Sunny
    Green Speed: Slow
    Golfer: Luke Donald

    In particular, when the wind was 1-3 mph towards you it made it a lot easier to keep the ball from rolling past or over the hole.

    Also those GamerNet challenges for HIO on Andrews 9 get removed for some reason, and yours is certainly gone as well. I just posted one, but it will likely be gone soon.

    Make a course using St. Andrews #9 and just wail away on it. It is a short, driveable par 4. I haven't sunk this yet, but I've been within 3 feet 10+ times and even hit the pin once. This is also a good way to accumulate eagles and birdies.

    UPDATE: I finally got this one, using about 70% (estimate) backspin and clubs tuned for maximum roll distance (minimum loft). I kept bouncing past the hole; rolling it up to the hole is your best bet, as the green is super-flat and you don't need a lucky bounce.

    I tried the harder pin placements but found the "easy" placement was the most reliable target. Also note that there is a slight ridge in the fairway just short of the green, so you'll want to adjust your aim ever-so-slightly to your right. (Assume approximately 1 mph crosswind to your right.)

    WARNING: I have heard from multiple sources that mulligans invalidate this and most other achievements in TW10. I recommend making an 18-hole course of St. Andrews #9 and playing it through. This will also ensure that the course conditions stay mostly the same, though the wind will vary slightly from hole to hole.

    The GlobalizerI've heard that mulligans invalidate achievements. I'll update the solution to note this.
