Entertainment Package

The P3ProSwing has several other games in addition to the normal course and green games.  These include a Longest-Drive game, Closest-to-the-Pin game, and a Hole-In-One game.  You will need a Sports Vision USB Smart Dongle that has been programmed with the entertainment package code for Longest Drive, Closest-to-Pin and/or Hole-in-One in order to unlock the corresponding entertainment package games.

To use these new games, select the proper mode in the golf mode dialog.  These are shown below. 

Longest Drive

The longest drive contest will store the top 10 drives by default, and the names of the players that generated those drives.  As shown below, the Hole and Tee Box used for this contest can be specified in the Longest Drive Options dialog, along with the maximum number of scores (Max Scores) managed in the contest.  You may also use the Driving Range, as is the case below, in which case no tee box is specified.  If you are using the Driving Range, you also have the option of specifying the Grid, which will place an out of bounds marker on the left and right side of the range and ignore all balls that are outside those boundaries.  The grid may be disabled, or set to 40, 50 or 60 yards.

To play this game, swings are generated as normal.  If the swing places in the top number of scores, you will be prompted to enter the player’s name, as shown below.

At any time you can press the [ S ] key to show the top scores. 

Each time a player gets the longest drive, a swing file is generated and placed in the P3Pro directory.  The file is named P3PLongDrive_XX_YY_ZZ_AA_BB_CC.p3p, where XX/YY/ZZ is the date and AA:BB:CC is the time of the swing.

Closest-To-Pin

The Closest-To-Pin contest will store the top 10 drives by default, and the names of the players that generated those swings.  As shown below, the Hole and Tee Box used for this contest can be specified in the Closest-To-Pin Options dialog, along with the maximum number of scores (Max Scores) managed in the contest.
