It looks like one of my favorite between serious game ways to pass the time has gotten some update love. Shot Online Season 2 officially launched today bringing with it a ton of updates. There is a new playable character, Camilla, and a new course called Pearl Green Island which is said to have a difficulty rating somewhere between Rufus and Cad.
Among all the other enhancements, one I know I’ve been looking forward to for awhile is the caddy system. I haven’t had a chance to personally check out the enhancements yet but it will be nice to finally be able to use the caddy I’ve paid so much for. Previously the caddy just doled out gifts on occasion, now the caddy will have some more functionality to it.
Full Press Release below:

You want to know something really funny. I have a birthday card from last year with that exact picture on it sitting on my desk at work. Small world.

Heh, that is a small world. I just picked that up randomly on the web. I liked it because it shows how my usual par putt ends up - just short.

If that’s your usual par putt, then I would have to say you’re a little better than me. I could have that left for a birdie on a par-5 or have it for a quadruple bogey.

Damn, now I’m going to have to go play golf on my lunch break lol. It’s been awhile since I’ve hit a hole in one in ShotOnline, I hit 7 in just a couple months playing when I first started.
I recommend it, it’s much easier than putting!
