Grab your friends and play something resembling Golf in the latest free update to Golf With Your Friends, which adds in a new rather funny looking Speed Golf mode. 

The idea here is to forget about par and the number of shots taken, it's all about how fast you are. It's a furious race to putt your ball before everyone else and score points based on how quickly you can do this. To help with this it brings in a new handbrake feature, letting you slow your ball down at specific moments to set up for another quick shot. And like something out of Sonic or Mario Kart, there's special speed gates to give you a boost.

Once again, really happy that this game features both local and online multiplayer.

Huh, that could actually be really funny ^^
For the normal mode, me and my friends really prefer to play via remote play together, as the "normal real multiplayer" ruins a lot of funny moments because everybody plays at once. But this could finally make it worthwhile that we all bought a copy
This looks interesting. I've been playing Golf with Your Friends (off and on) with a friend for years, and we normally like to play by turning the ability to jump on, then trying to break every hole by jumping around the map with pretty much no regard for score, so an "as fast as possible" mode could be pretty fun too.
