Not too difficult. Choose the course Little Brook Manor. Play the first hole normally. On the second hold (par 3) take a shot to the green, anywhere will do but you want to get close to the bunker on the right. Once there, putt it into the bunker (I used 100%, this should put you around the center of the bunker which is what you want.) Now, pick the 9 iron and use X to change your shot to chip. Line up your shot (wind will not be a factor) and shoot 100% as straight as possible. It should have just enough power to roll in. It may take a few tries, just keep in mind +7 (10 total shots on a par 3) is the max stroke so you may have to restart and do the steps over again.

I have also posted video showing how I did it.

Please leave any questions or comments below, if you feel the need to give a negative vote let me know why smile

Edit: As Mr Liister pointed out this will also give you the Ferret achievement.

TRC G00SEWorks except the achievement did not unlock for me. Maybe an xbox live issue ?

DwaggieniteGot it on my 9th shot on the first attempt at the 2nd hole, thank you. BRILLIANT. If you're going for the bunker on the right, you want to aim about 1/4 of a square to the left of the pin.

JeffchobTook a few tries, and had to aim a little to the left of the hole due to the slight slope of the bunker and the green, but this is an awesome solution! Also, unlocks the Ferret achievement if you haven't already got it.

For those that don't know, if you miss the hole, bring up the pause menu, select 'declare unplayable', and hit LB to place you back in the bunker for a quick retry. You'll have this in no time...
