I do like a good golf game. I guess the idea was that as you collect coins your stroke count goes up? Not too obvious, but a solid game overall.

Nice little game, nicely implemented. I'm not sure how it relates to the theme, but good job anyway - I particularly liked the music :)!

I really enjoyed this game, especially the retro feel. The ball got stuck outside the walls a few times, but it didn't stop me from having a fun time. I didn't understand that the coins were bad for your score at first, but after I realized, it made the game even more fun. Thanks for making it!

I didn't realize the purpose of the coins until I read jon's comment, now I feel a bit silly!

I absolutely LOVE the aesthetic of this game. I want to play this on my 5200.

I think that the twist with the coins was very creative! For me, the game stuttered and lagged a good bit, but that may have just been my browser.

Simple game, though the title screen should probably have something saying "Press Z to start" or such (I thought it was still loading so I just sat there for a minute).

Cool game! I think it would have been better to allow the player to adjust the strength of the shot. It gets a little bit annoying to have to wait

The shooting would've been better like a regular golf game (press once to start the strength meter, then again to shoot), because waiting around was a little tedious. Otherwise, cool little game!

Somehow I one time hit a wall at an angle that made me completely reverse direction instead of just bouncing like normal, might be related to the same glitch where you can get stuck in out of bounds. Also, when you go out of bounds you can still shoot the ball before it teleports you back to the start and it raises your score.
