True, but I have yet to get a guaranteed way for hole in one on #4 though I can get hole in ones more often then not.

Place the ball at the bottom left corner(relative to computer screen, "top" left corner relative to direction you have to hit the ball).
Use the yellow dotted line to aim just past the end corner of first wall you have to go around. The line won't be right on corner but about 2 dot-widths away from corner. Make sure the last dot is about 1/4th distance to back wall from hole(aligning vertically).
This should have you bounce off outside wall return to bounce of other outside wall, then actually bounce off end of 2nd inner wall back to outside wall and then towards hole. When it gets to hole it will go off upper outside wall then outside wall behind hole back to hole.
It could go into hole without last bank off outside wall but I have yet to, consistently, make "hole in ones" without the first 5 banks off the walls. If it misses the end of the inner wall it is almost certainly a miss.

If you miss the end of the inner wall move "dotted line" a bit farther away from corner of inner wall at first.

Par 2 is 80% luck for me, usually winding up with guaranteed Par 3.

Buck45 gave a good way to get hole in one. I usually use the other side of blocking wall but either side will work.
Place the ball to top corner, aim "dotted line" 0.5-1 dot width away from blocking wall corner, place 2nd end dot on inside of outer edge of back wall and swing.
