How to unlock the Bluffin' Brilliant achievement in Kinect Sports Season Two - Definitive Guide

This achievement is titled, "Bluffin' Briliant".

First, play the Whistling Bluff hole on Pro difficulty. This will place the pin location to the far right of the green. You will notice from the opening aerial flyover that there is a sloped fairway located to the right of the enormous rockface.

Second, because you're playing on Pro difficulty, you may have to restart the hole multiple times in order to get "calm" wind conditions. Your driver has the prefect maximum distance for this achievement when conditions are calm.

Finally, aim your tee shot to the right. You should notice a narrow opening formed by a smaller boulder just separated from the main rockface. Aim for this opening. You'll notice this opening has a small uphill ridge from your vantage point giving way to a steep slope behind it. The idea is to get your ball over the crest of the ridge and onto this slope which will feed directly to the hole.

Depending on how hard you swing, you'll either bounce your ball up over this ridge and onto the slope or you can do as I did and swing with maximum effort, ricochet your ball off of the smaller boulder, pinching it between it and the main rockface where it ultimately settles on the slope and trickles its way down and into the hole below.

Swing away Merrill. Merrill...swing away.

Ditto on the low winds. I would also add that you should line up your shot so that with the long axis of the bunker.

Finally after so many attempts! Got it without any wind and just like the guide explains. Except it was so tough for me to know exactly how to line up the ball. I just got lucky and finally made it. Once and I don't know how I got it to roll down the hill and also without any wind but it just missed the hole. This was the toughest achievement of them all for me for the dlc.

I agree with the low winds. Got it first try with that method with practice swings.

Good tip!

Just wanted to add i managed this with low winds to the left. Just aimed a little more to the right i think it help a bit to keep it on slope as i was having trouble keeping it rolling all the way down the slope , it was falling off to the right onto the fairway. I also didn't have to bounce it off the rock.

Good guide. I just wanted to add that I too had low winds from the right. I aimed slightly right, hit with full power. The ball landed on the little strip of grass between the rockface and the smaller rock, bounced a little and then slowly ran all the way down into the hole.

Took many attempts, but I finally got it.

My successful attempt was actually with Low wind conditions. I just aimed slightly to the right to compensate.

i actually used the high wind to my advantage, because i was having trouble with the ball stopping short when the wind was calm. aimed just to the left of where i wanted the ball to go, and boom, hole in one!

Agree with previous, low wind from right to left worked great. Managed to curve it and hit the slope so that it rolled right in.

I would advise NOT doing this in calm wind. Unless you get lucky and get a perfect bounce off the rock (I bounced off the rock over 10 times with no luck), its much much easier to do this with a wind blowing from right to left. That way if you angle the shot right you can get it on the slope without hitting the rock.

I used this video found on YouTube.
Select PRO Difficult, and make sure that the wind is low. If it isn't, simply restart the match.
I hope this video helps you, like it helped me!! :)

Good tip by WakeFrog and xDJNellieNell to go to the right of big rock, pro difficulty and calm conditions. But I managed this shot without bouncing off the smaller boulder. The trick for me was to watch the hole indicator in the upper left. Initially the arrow points down. I moved my position until the arrow swung up and pointed to the left. As soon as it dit that I took a hard shot from that position. The ball landed on the sloping ridge but as close to the big cliff as possible. Then the ball rolled all the way into the hole.

I drew out some MS paint maps of all the holes.

Enjoy!!!! Feedback is appreciated! I have ones for the albatross, and the hole in one on whistling bluff.

This one can be won with either low wind or no wind. Start up a match on Whistling Bluff and if there is no wind, aim for the very left side of the rock on the right side of the course. Ideally, you want it to ricochet off the left side of the rock and roll down the slope into the hole. If you have low wind, aim a little more to the right as shown in the video below, and everything should work the same.
