Armed with a white ball, you are determined to demonstrate your skills at the golf course. 
Your goal is to get the ball in the hole in as few shots as possible.
Test your skills at calculating the right power and angle combination to achieve that.
Use E-S-D-X (also W-Z-C-R for diagonal moves) to place the cursor over the appropriate
controls for power and angle and press Q to select. Move the cursor over the shoot
symbol and press Q again to hit the ball. 
You can select POWER (from 5 to 100) and ANGLE (from 0 to 180), with 0 pointing straight
to the right and 180 straight to the left, effectively allowing you to shoot the ball 
in any direction. The looping arrow next to the + and - controls allows you to reverse the
current angle or power for quick adjustments.

Warning: wind, sand, water and ice will trap your ball, and so does shooting it 
beyond the screen boundaries. You have 3 balls in total, so aim carefully! How far can
you get?
