Walkthrough for hard badge: Get Harry Quantum, the bouncing bonus rocks! You dont need all upgrades, i had only Hat, Shoes & Ball maxed, rest was lvl 4-5. Powerups: Get Superrun, Airboost & Powerswing for every level. Use Airboost & Powerswing always at start of level, then Superrun to run after the ball. Try to finish every level with 1-3 shots under par, you might even need 1-2 "hole in ones" at Stony beach! If your ball rebounds from a hill or lands in sand -> Press F5, and start that level again.
I know this playing style is annoying but i doubt there is an other way to the badge without cheating...

What is the purpose of an upgrading system when there's no progression involved whatsoever. All you do is play 2 different courses that are actually the same every round. To max out upgrades you'll probably have to play each course 20+ times. I bet nobody would find any more thrill after playing them five times. Let alone more. Neat concept and gameplay ruined by a pointless design.

Actually since the game penalizes you 5 seconds per shot you would need to complete each hole in 24 (3 shots) to 29 seconds (2 shots). So, pretty much you need to grind out all the upgrades and have full specials on every hole with no mistakes to have a chance.

Way to grindy. It shouldn't take 3 to 5 rounds to unlock the final item in 7 categories (21 to 35 playthroughs for the set!).

Hard achievement should be labeled Impossible. 9holes means 39sec per hole is what you need. With all the slow rolling of the balls until you even start moving etc this is such BS requirement. Ok game otherwise. 3 stars.

obviously the hard achievement doesnt count the time you take to get it in but the time the whole round lasts.. so if you dont click end early you have no chance at all and even if you do the little extra time you need each round can cost you the already ridiculously hard achievement..

A guide to the Hard badge.
Start the game, be as slow as you want, collect the coins etc.
When you start hole 9 (the last level), click Exit, confirm exit, then click Start round, then click New round. At this point the game will erase the accumulated round stats, including the total time which will rest to zero.
Click Exit again without actually starting a new round. Click Start round again, and now click Continue - even though the game has erased the total stats, it still remembers there is an outstanding round. Complete the hole 9, and your total time will be the hole 9's time.

So I bought a super stop, didn't use it and next round bought another so there was 2 in my inventory. Practiced a hole next and used one to get used to the mechanism and after starting a new round both super stops were gone from my inventory. Cost aside its still a bug. Fun game for sure. You all do good work!

for the hard badge aftertouch, super stop, and super run are a must, if something goes wrong exit out, choose start round, and continue. you have to re buy power ups so collect a bit of money first

Big thanks to ThePandero....finally got the "hard" badge,after months of trying....If you need to make money quickly,or reasonably quickly....win a round,any one will do,click continue til you get to trophy screen,then leave site...go check facebook or something..DO NOT CLICK CONTINUE ON THE 123 SCREEN...when you come back to game you should be offered the option of new game or continue...select continue..you should find yourself on the last hole of game just completed....play that and win another grand....:) etc etc
