This is a tool-assisted flawless playthrough (TFP)...
and to a lesser extent a tool-assisted speedrun (TAS)
You may have heard about TAS, but you might wonder what a TFP is
TFPs use emulators to create perfect gameplay videos
They concentrate on getting all items, similar to 100% speedruns
Speed is secondary though, yet TFPs can be incredibly fast

This run through the America course of Neo Turf Masters is the
sequel to my first one where I played through the German course
If you haven't seen the first run then stop now and do it!
You will have a hard time enjoying it after seeing this one :)
"This is Horse's report!"
The first hole took me hours to finish
I started to believe that my first run was just a fluke
But once I managed to get the hang of things,
the following holes were much easier to finish
I placed the ball for this hole in front of the trees to up the challenge
The trees were so close though that
I didn't have to take them into account
"This is Mouse's report!"
What did she say?
This course has quite a few Hole-In-One chances
This is the first and easiest one
"This is Nurse's report"
Seriously, what did she say?
In this run I discovered a groundbreaking new tactic that
allowed me to improve my efficiency compared to my Germany run
At this point, I was still unaware of the possibilities...
so I didn't go for an Albatross here,
even though there's an off chance that one is possible
"This is House's report!"
In retrospect, this hole looks as if a Hole-In-One would be possible
With maximum tailwind the ball could
probably bounce off the tree tops into the hole
This run makes massive use of luck manipulation
Most of the animations can be skipped
For each animation frame the game's
random number generator creates a new value
By exiting the animation at a certain frame,
I can influence wind speed and wind direction
Also, while the layout of the course is fixed,
the position of the hole with the flag pole on the green is not
There are three different locations for the hole on the green
which are also influenced by the random number generator
Usually, I let animations play out
But if you see some that are
cut short then you know why :)
This hole is also a potential Hole-In-One
This hole was an eye opener
I was determined to get an Eagle
The problem was that the hole was on much higher ground,
making it much harder of letting the ball just hop in there
So I used the rough grass to slow it down
and let it roll to the flag pole
In almost two decades of playing this game
I had never seen the ball just rolling into the hole from the field
Up to that point I thought that this would be impossible
I just wanted it to happen, so I kept on trying
And after endless attempts, it actually did :)
I couldn't believe my eyes
Seeing this happen changed everything
Suddenly, I was able to save strokes where I thought I couldn't before
I immediately put my new knowledge into action :)
From now on, the run would be a lot more exciting
And it sure is!
The rest of the run is a pure treat :)
Try to beat that record ;)
I didn't attempt a Hole-In-One here,
because I thought I couldn't bridge the distance
I thought I couldn't go beyond 340 yards in one stroke
I'm still not sure if a Hole-In-One would be possible here,
but there is a slight chance that it is
This contest made me realize that strokes
had the potential to go way beyond 340 yards
Just while subbing this video I have to realize
that I totally didn't win this contest
D'oh! >_<
Even though the hole looked easy, it took me
so long to finish that I just totally forgot about the contest
But hey, an Albatross is still a great way
to finish a hole - winning the contest or not :)
This hole was a pain to finish
Hole-In-Ones seem to be the easiest to do,
but they're a lot harder than two-stroke holes
Because you can tune the first stroke,
allowing you to have a plethora of possibilities for the second one
Should I ever redo the run, I'll try to improve on all
these holes where I think I could have saved a stroke
Or may be *YOU* could do it! :)

This was an easy hole by the way
This was an interesting hole
I maxed out the driving distance just short of hitting rough grass
The hard part was to get the ball to hop into the hole
It's quite hard to do that over such a short distance
Again, something that looked easy turned out to be a pain
Another hellish Hole-In-One
Having the ball hop into the hole or
shooting it directly in there seemed impossible
Slowing down the ball with the rough grass
and then having it roll into the hole made it work
Those 350 yards were the longest drive I had ever done at that point
By now my record stands at 363 yards
That includes the ball rolling through
rough patches and landing in a sand pit
So there's some real potential to break the 370 yard barrier
This was the second hardest hole of the whole run
It took more than half a day to get it done
But in the end, it was totally worth it :)
Which was the hardest hole of the run you might ask?
It's coming up :)
Prepare your slomo/rewind button,
because this one's a beauty and far too quickly over
This run required 5449 rerecords,
trippling the amount of the first run
The last hole required 2000 rerecords alone,
exceeding the total amount my first Neo Turf Masters run required
It took a whole day to finish...
The same time I needed to record my first run four years ago :)
The run took five days to record
and one day each for subbing and encoding
"Yoo ah a grate shampion!
Congratuashons!"
The Engrish is still awesome :)
Thank you for watching my run!
See you in Japan...
...in 2017 :)
