Attempting to drive the green, he clips a branch and stops somewhere in the first cut - which is still puttable. “My stomach just went crazy,” he announces, with a 10 mph wind at his back. 16, Alaskaxp2 sees he is within reach over the final three holes. 15 going wide on his tee shot, coming up short from a bunker, yet saving par with a long put. 11 and 12, then buries a whopping 50 foot putt to move on about a dozen seconds faster. Alaskaxp2 went into a greenside bunker on his second shot, leading to a fourth stroke and par that put him slower than Darbian’s split time for the first time in the run. 8 at the Resort.Īlaskaxp2 was still ahead of Darbian’s split time after that disaster (by my unofficial reckoning against Darbian’s posted split times, posted here), but not by much. It all makes for a nice commentary on sticking with a speedrun even if you feel like you’ve blown it, as Alaskaxp2 must have after carding six strokes and three-putting No. It means that every run is going to have at least one or two bad holes - and the record runs are then going to have an awesome comeback from that. The motion controls are also not as precise as using a gamepad on other games, so the muscle-memory advantage of an expert in another game means nothing in trying to get maximum power (and hooks and slices are part of the game, too). Course conditions, generated at random, mean the wind can be at a player’s back for a big distance assist - or in their face, or blowing the ball laterally. What makes Wii Sports Resort Golf intriguing as a speedrun is the variability that is inherently a part of the game. Interestingly, Darbian also has a 5.57 time in Dragster- which was recently established as the fastest possible time in the game after a dispute threw out the previous 35-year-old record.

Wii Sports Resort Golf ordinarily wouldn’t be a top-of-mind game for thrilling speedruns - but it is to me now, in the details of the world record set last night by an up-and-comer to the competitive landscape.įirst, congratulations to Alaskaxp2, who joined 8 months ago, set his first No.
