Just a question here, if anyone noticed, I love mini golf the most out of all the games so far, but something odd happened with the scoring.

Take a look at number 3 or 4, a lower score than number 1, so I thought maybe it's the seconds how long you play, yet that is lower too? The combination is still lower than number 1 as well? Can anyone explaign this at all?

Okay, it starts off with the maximum amount of strokes you can have. As you hit the ball, it subtracts one from the score. Therefore, you want the highest score, not the lowest.

Why did they change it... I mean, golf was so simple being backwards... Isn't there a way to change it so that you get a classic golf score? Or do we have to live with it backwards...?

You want the highest score in this game... and yeah, get used to it ;)

It's not on there anymore because it was cleared with th rest, but I actually had a negative score once, although in the high score list it turned it into a score of 0.

I think with the scores being 180-minus-something it makes it easier to generate the hall of fame or whatever.
