Hello Tildes, today I’d like to share the latest version of my personal golf game. This is a short golf game that I’ve always wanted: runs on any device, no ads, no account, built for a few minutes at a time. It looks simple, but it’s a more detailed game than it appears. The project was directed and designed by me, and built with Claude Code.
This week only: I’ve added a new hole, Long Odds, with its own leaderboard. You choose three letters and an emblem when you post your score to the board. After a week, the challenge is over, and the leaderboard will be frozen. Good luck topping the board!
How to play: A swing tutorial will appear for first-time players, and you can see it again from the +/more menu. The game sets your aim and suggests your club, so all you really need to do is swing. To get a better score though, you’ll need to think like a golfer would. Play the right club out of the right lie, shape the shot with your timing - a draw or a fade - if it helps, and aim exactly where you want the ball to go.
For anyone who played earlier this week, I’ve added a putting green grid so distances there are easier to measure.
About the name: there are thousands of golf games out there, so for now I’m just calling this one BL’s Golf Game.
All feedback, good or bad, is appreciated. I’ll be in the thread to answer any questions you have. Thank you for your time.
