Mini-Putt 4

The first hole looks almost too simple: a bent green, a dark strip marked DROP and a yellow flag sign that reads Par 2. Then you notice the line of little dots that appears when you move the mouse, pointing the wrong way, and you learn the trick of this series all over again. Mini-Putt 4 is a free mini golf game you play in your browser. You drop your ball at the tee, aim with the mouse, set the power by how far you pull back and try to sink every hole in as few strokes as you can.

Key Controls

• Drop the ball, aim and putt: MOUSE and LEFT CLICK

How It Works

Mini-Putt 4, subtitled The Lost Holes, starts on a menu where you choose a course and the number of players. There are 3 courses: Pete's Putt-O-Ramma with its bright green lawns, Cosmic Golf in outer space and the Halloween themed Spooky Putt. Up to 8 players can share one computer, and each one types a name and picks a ball from 12 colors before the first hole.

Every hole begins in a darker DROP area, where you click to place your ball. Moving the mouse then shows a line of dots that runs away from the cursor, so you pull back on the opposite side of where you want the ball to go. The farther you pull, the harder the putt, and a click sends the ball rolling. The sign next to each green shows the hole number and its par, so you always know how many strokes the hole expects.

1. Pick a course and set the number of players.
2. Type a name and choose a ball color.
3. Click PUTT! to go to the first hole.
4. Click inside the DROP area to place the ball.
5. Move the mouse to aim, pulling back on the opposite side of the hole.
6. Click to putt, then line up the next shot from where the ball stops.
7. Sink the ball and move on to the next hole.

What Makes It Stand Out

• 3 themed courses: Pete's Putt-O-Ramma, Cosmic Golf and Spooky Putt each have their own look.
• Up to 8 players: Friends can share one computer for a full round.
• 12 ball colors: Every player picks a color, which keeps balls apart on the same green.
• Pull back aiming: The dotted guide shows direction and strength before every putt.
• Open ball placement: The DROP area lets you choose the starting spot on each hole.
• Par signs: Each hole shows a target score, like Par 2 on the first hole of Pete's Putt-O-Ramma.

Getting Started

• Use the whole DROP area in Mini-Putt 4. Placing the ball at the edge closest to the bend can shorten the angle to the hole.
• Aim from behind the ball. The dots point away from the cursor, so keep the mouse on the side opposite the hole.
• Start with short pulls. A small pull is often enough on the early greens, and a long one sends the ball into the walls.
• Check the par first. On a Par 2 hole the plan is a good first putt that leaves a short second one.

Going Further

Mini-Putt 4 rewards planning more than power. The greens bend and turn, so the best first shot often aims at a wall or a corner rather than straight at the cup. Watching where the ball stops after a soft putt teaches more than a hard one that bounces around the edges. With several players the round becomes a quiet competition, since every stroke shows on the same green. Switching between Pete's Putt-O-Ramma, Cosmic Golf and Spooky Putt also keeps the layouts fresh once you know one course well.

Mistakes Worth Avoiding

• Pulling toward the hole. The ball travels away from the cursor, not toward it.
• Hitting too hard. Strong putts rattle off the walls and often end farther away.
• Dropping the ball without looking. A poor starting spot can add a stroke on bending holes.
• Ignoring the par sign. It tells you how many strokes a hole is meant to take.
