For update 1.6.1 we are bringing back our Halloween pumpkin hunt event from last year, we've also updated the two more recent level expansions to include the Pumpkins as well. Hunting 10 Pumpkins will unlock you three Halloween themed balls :)
Pumpkin Hunting 101
What do I have to do?
To hunt a pumpkin you simply need to hit them with your golf ball. There are 60 purple pumpkins in the game (one per level), but you only need to find 10 to unlock all the rewards. There is no reward for hunting the orange ones, but feel free to smash them to your hearts content.
What do I get from doing this?
The above three golf ball designs are unlocked from completing this event. Each feature color options and an accompanying faceplate.
If you successfully hunted 10 pumpkins last year then this reward will remained unlocked.
How do I track my progress?
A progress bar and counter can be found on the main menu below a description of the event.
How long will it take me to complete this event?
This is not supposed to be a grind, and if playing as normal you'll probably complete it a couple of hours after playing a few different sessions. If were to do it solo in purely in practice mode you could probably do it in 10 to 15 minutes. Some levels will be harder than others to get the pumpkin, but theres enough of them that its just a bit of fun to enjoy the halloween theme rather than be an overall challenge.
Can I complete this in local play?
Yes :) If any local players hits a pumpkin it will count for the primary profile so you can enjoy sort-of a co-op activity while you hunt them down.
How long does the event last?
The event will conclude on November 14th at 10:00 AM PST / 6 PM GMT giving you more than a couple of weeks to complete it.
