NSS Golf: THE 70-PT GRIND IS FINALLY OVER (TIED FWR)

- AHHHHHH
UPDATE (3 weeks later): The world record is now shared with my buddy/fellow American, @DylanThe3595, who just recorded a 70-pt game a few minutes ago!! 🥳🎉💯
Where to even start?! Well, this grind began months ago after I got my first 66, which put the realization in motion of how realistic a 70+ score could be. The last holes of my 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, & 6th 66-pt games featured albatross attempts on each final hole that would've yielded the 70 points if I'd made any of those shots. A couple of those final hole attempts got very close, but none of them were quite enough to clinch the ultimate 70.
Then this game happened. I was actually on a super hard tilt leading up to it, and I'd lost all my feel for putting that morning. The game right before this, I couldn't even manage to 2-putt for par on 17 as the second semifinal hole, and I DC'd to save potentially extra rank loss as I was about to miss the final (DCing is something I occasionally do, since it's an unfortunate part of the game but usually preserves some rank tanking). I was pretty upset with how I was playing overall this day, after playing really well the last few days prior, but per usual I kept the livestream going.
Onto the topic of this game: landing this seed of holes/wind conditions felt like a true blessing, as if was almost a direct reward for the nearly 2,000 hours I've put into the game over the last 7 months. It was the absolute easiest seed I've ever encountered, and I can imagine plenty other players would have just as easily clinched a 66 or 70 on this seed. I was just wildly lucky to be the one to have it.
Over time, I've had a fair share of 28-after 2 starts, several of which began with these same holes: 14 & 15. I was really glad to get the easy eagle on 14, although it's a very accessible pin for albatross. Then on 15, I sliced my approach shot slightly but it was a fairly easy eagle shot that I was lucky to have lipped in. Moving on to the 3rd hole, an easy Resort 1 condition popped up & I was honestly super excited when I saw the flyover view and the 0-wind condition. Still I tried to keep an even keel mindset so I didn't get my hopes up if I somehow missed this eagle or if somehow the final two holes yielded difficult eagle/holeout conditions to closeout. I took my sweet time with the approach shot on Resort 1 because it's one of the more difficult holeouts of the 6 possible pins, since it's not a deadaim eagle like the front pins are. Once I got that eagle, I was honestly thinking of only another 62 or 66 possibility and had still low hopes of landing any more good conditions on the final 2 after already seeing 0-wind condition twice in 3 holes.
Moving on to the 4th hole, Resort 2, I was completely shocked to see ANOTHER 0-wind condition, especially with a deadaim pin. I always aim directly center-cup and swing a 5-iron with 3 dots for that pin with a pretty high success rate. I was confident I'd either hole out center-pin or at least hit the lip at a good enough speed to lip in, and I ended up executing the shot EXACTLY like I wanted to (without slicing or mis-hitting the power). Seeing that shot roll in, I think it finally started to become a thought that the last hole could bring up the record possibility.
And finally moving on to the last hole, Classic 12, I was absolutely over the moon excited to see that condition. I've practiced that hole probably a thousand times, and to see it yield a condition where I could reach the island fairway easily, I figured it was probably a good possibility that eagle was in play. Truthfully, I was zeroing in for the hopeful albatross, mentally preparing for at least giving it a good run for its money. I didn't even let any intrusive thoughts creep into the picture about any potential of missing the green or not sticking it close. I've choked away many good score opportunities, but I was trying to keep my breathing even and my heart rate steady during this last hole so I didn't get overly strong with my 3-iron approach or with my putting (which I was struggling with like crazy, as I mentioned earlier). Once I stuck the green and saw the shot backspin to point-blank range, I think my heart rate elevated to at least 120 or 130 bpm. I chose to not even take a practice stroke with the putter, and I just went for it. Seeing that last putt go in brought on a feeling of complete catharsis. I WAS SO EXCITED. I was also shocked, relieved, pumped, and so happy in a way that words can hardly even do justice. IT FINALLY HAPPENED.
To do it on livestream, to do it with friends watching, and playing in a lobby with a friend (a fellow American living in Japan, Joe), it all just felt SO sweet. I am so thankful for all the love & support along the way from everyone also!! Next step is gonna be just continuing to further the grind and livestreams because playing with everyone and seeing their successes makes it all the more fun regardless of my outcomes! Thanks for watching!!

This run still blows my mind after re-watching it, 5 eagles in a row is unbelievable. Broice's name has been etched into the Nintendo history books forever, congratulations, you deserve it!
Thanks brother!! Still feels like a dream 😃
And it's been wild to see your audience migrate to show all the more love onto the video since its posting 🙌🏽 Let's keep making all the golf content we possibly can, who knows what the future holds 🤯
Sensei! I’m watching your latest video now!
I love you sensei
I love your vids bro and congratulations on the 70 point game for world record
Been watching your stream for the last weeks whenever i could. What an awesome feat! Absolute goat of NSS Golf !
Thank you so much!! So glad you've been tuning in, hope we've been some solid entertainment 🙌🏽
UPDATE: as of 10 minutes ago, there is a second officially recorded 70-pt game from @Dylan3595
🎉💯
This is now a tied world record! Congratulations to Dylan, who is quite literally one of the most electric players in the game 🔥
POV: someone gets a 90 pt game💀💀💀💀💀💀
@@ConekatKajiuParadiseahaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Wow, talk about a blown chance at a 78 seed
jk
DUDE I WAS SO PUMPED TO SEE THIS VIDEO SHOW UP AT THE TOP OF MY FEED
CONGRATS!!
Hahaha you are awesome Andy!! I appreciate the love you keep showing me!
Absolutely incredible man
Thanks a bunch!!
Crazy. Got my first albatross tonight
congratulations!! cant wait to play with you again!❤️👏🏻
Thanks Kimmi!! Always fun playing, of course 🙌🏽
Nice!
Got 70
NSS: Here's 10% of exp.
Golf's a special sport. It takes so much dedication to play it *perfectly,* even in virtual form like this. Well done indeed. I don't think I have a level of perfectionism that could get me this far xD
Out of curiosity, what's the highest score you've had that still lost the game? I imagine if you get matched against fellow Infinity players, it can get outrageous.
thank you so much! The time that went into this was something I never would've seen coming for me personally when the game first came out 😆
And to answer your question, I've lost a game outright with a 62 (when my friend Rohan shot 66), and I've tied and lost plenty closest to the pin contests with a 62 also lol. It gets wild when we put together the infinity lobbies
@@nssricardo9575 Awesome. It's certainly making me want to get this game, silly as it may be :D
Best legend😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
thank you!
CRACKED MAN
THANK YOU, GOAT 🤗 WE DID IT 🥳
good shit
thank you 🙌🏽

HOLY SHIT GGGGGGGGG
THANK YOU SOUPY
Let’s goooooooo 🥳🥳🥳
thanks Kan!! 🫶🏽🤗🥳🔥
@@nssricardo9575 😚😚
Yo if you ever see me in your lobby, my name is Big Executive Tim
awesome! Hope we ball out soon sometime!
Good game, but it takes you wayyy too long to hit. I bet other players hated you for taking that long
EDIT: I take it all back
Thanks! I was actually the first one in the hole on 14, 15, & 12 though (with consideration of the replay on 15). And I hope they'd understand me taking my sweet time on the other holes, given the magnitude of the game's score lol
Under normal circumstances I'm generally a quick player, so I hope they'll forgive me for the time taken on two holes in a record-setting game 💀
@@nssricardo9575 yea you right bro, my comment was unnecessary. I was just lashing out. 🫂
Would’ve been even better with an albatross on the first AND last hole 😢
We could only hope 😔
74 when?
hopefully in a few minutes 😆
Oh my goodness. Congratulations. Truly incredible the patience you have to do this. It was only a matter of time with the commitment you had towards this goal. I don't think this one will get replicated unless another NSS Ricardo comes around. You are one of the all-time greats. My defeat makes more sense now with this crown jewel of an achievement.
Thank you, brother!! What a past few days it has been in this game for us!! lol
Getting complimented by someone with your caliber of success especially means a great deal to me 🙌🏽 What a grind and what a blast this has been 😊💯
As soon as I saw the thumbnail, I KNEW that a record was broken. Maybe it could've been 74 points with an albatross on hole 12. It's still very impressive.
Thank you so much! And those conditions were definitely albatross-teasing, but I'll still take the 70 any day 😅 One of these days that 74 is gonna come crashing in though
It requires great patience and precision to get this precious 70 WR. Something that I don't have, but clearly Riccardo does. So proud of you man! ❤ Onward to 74 (?).
Thanks Gemmy!!! And perhaps we'll tackle 74 soon 😅
Bro just the ending with the pursuit of happyness music brings a tear to my face. Your goal has finally been achieved. GG!
haha thank you so much! That's my favorite part tbh 🥹 Glad you noticed it, and thanks for the super kind compliment 🙌🏽
I finally watched the whole round, now that I am back from holidays. Well played Ricardo! Conditions were great, but even in the best circumstances it is remarkable to hit 3 chip in eagles in a row! I noticed the small curve you got on hole 15, thats the proof that this round was just meant to happen to you :D
You made it look so easy that I am wondering whether 74 is possible, who knows…
Thanks Alnik! That baby slice I had on 15 was nearly the death of me but it was just the right sprinkle of luck it seems lol
I wish everyone could have played in this lobby to see how many 66s and 70s there may have been! I doubt we'll ever see that middle 3 stretch of holes ever again anytime soon 🤯
Well deserved Ricardo, you're an amazing player ❤
thank you so much!!
Congrats man u deserve it with the grind u been doing for kike 5 weeks!!!!
Thanks Davey!!!! You've been there from day one, & I appreciate you a ton!!
@@nssricardo9575 no problem cant believe I was your 37th sub brings tears to my eyes 😢
Man, this shit makes me feel like ill never hit infinity rank 😄 i was stoked with 58... but 70!!!
GG brother
Broice is the new world record holder, 74 will be a pain the butt. I think it’s safe to say to take a long nice break!!! You took advantage of the seed and feel satisfied
Haha thanks Andres!! ❤️
it’s crazy to think about the possible albatrosses too like what is the maximum possible score
Welcome to the immortal Switch Sports Golf HOF.
Haha he was in the hall of fame well before this 😂
8:23 A HOLE IN ONE?!
New sub waiting how far you can go. Next!
I just played someone online who got 74… would that be the record? Can people use hacks online?
I just saw it on reddit! Do you have a screenshot too?
Hell yes bro take the f**k out of those screen captures
thats crazy i go from watching senseis vid playing against you to this being recommended.
Miller Jennifer Hall Gary Perez Betty
Congratulations!! Everything was perfect in this round
Thank you so much!!
I just saw a video by Sensei, where he was competing against you
Yep! We play together in global when he's online every now & then, and have been friends through the game for the better part of the year 🙌🏽 Thanks for commenting & glad you found your way to this video!
congrats! was about time all of the stars aligned. great work!
lol right?! Only took about 1,500 hours of sacrificing our soul to the game haha
Thanks Dylan!! So so happy 😊
maaaan if you albatrossed that last hole too
1:01 bro almost had 74 in the bag
congrats again! a 78 is a definite possibility!
Thanks man!! 😊 Wouldn't that be just bonkers
As someone who stopped playing this game after unlocking every single cosmetic item for a whole year straight, I find it reassuring that there are still people out that put their time and effort into keeping this ""dead"" game afloat. Mad respect to you!
THE BEST OF THE BEST
Thanks Egg!!!
@@nssricardo9575 A true moment in history.
I saw you in someone else's video, then you got recommended to me
oh awesome! Thanks for showing some love this direction 🙌🏽 Was it a Sensei or Clam video that led you here? 👀
You coul've done 78 with this seed, but good job on doing 70!
Bro had more points in the semi-finals than I've ever gotten in an entire game lmaooo
I can't wait to play this game
Are you sure? It's a dead game
I can never chip in on hole 1 if I wanted to, unfortunately…
It's got a set strat for each pin usually if you just hit the driver straightaway with full power off the tee👌🏽
@@nssricardo9575 Thanks for the tip!
thats funny, i watched one sensei vid on switch gold cuz it sounded cool and he faced you like 3 times back to back and now you're on my recommended lol
Love to see it 🙌🏽 He's thrown a lot of love in my direction! Thanks for migrating to the channel ⛳️
oh shit you’re Broice. i found you in one of my games a couple days ago 🤣
Congratulation for getting 70!!!🎉 😃
Now all that’s left is grinding 74, 78, and the maximum I can think of and possibly 82.
Hahaha I would be even more ecstatic if one of those became a possibility one day soon 😆 thanks man!
I think the maximum is 90. You just have to play perfectly on holes 3, 5, 12, 14, and 18.
@@animator8555 After looking at around 10 games, it seems like there's always 1 par 3, 2 par 4s, and 2 par 5s. If this is true, then the maximum possible score is 78 points.
That was an amazing watch! Well played, congratulations!
3:59
Nice one! I got a chip in here too with 33 mph wind
I overpowered that shot and it curved
thanks! And awesome!
Nice job man 70 that's crazy and here is a question did u meet a guy name not sensei
thanks! And of course, Sensei & I go way back!
Absolutely amazing!! Your a real inspiration as right now I’m only D rank and my best in online is 46 or 44
Thank you so much! Means a lot to me 🙌🏽
And you'll only get better with time, it took me a while to get my feet under me with this game also
@@nssricardo9575thank you!!!
Are u any good irl?
I go through stretches of good golf, and the lowest my handicap has ever been is 3 (I was a 3 last year for the first time in 10 years). I've shot in the 60s only 1 time in the past year though, and Nintendo golf has almost completely replaced my previous IRL golf addiction/grind 😭
U gonna go for 74 or take a break?
I'm gonna try to go for the 74 probably just as relentlessly
There have already been a couple of near-70s in the last few days from two other players, so I think I need to level up to the 74 to keep the record 🤯
What's the song that plays at the end? Also amazing job!
It's part of the Pursuit of Happyness movie soundtrack, "Welcome Chris" by Andrea Guerra 👍🏽
And thank you!!
Awesome score. I was really hoping you'd get an Albatross on the last hole though lol
thank you! And it sure would've been nice to get one of those albatross attempts to go, but I can't complain a bit lol
78 is possible but idk if that's going to happen any time soon
86 is the highest possible, but I think the absolute record over time will probably be a 74. It is crazy that I've had seeds in a few of my 66s that had 70-78 potential though. It's just so tough to be perfect for all 5 holes even if you've played 'em a million times
Incredible!!!
For the last stroke of first hole (hole 14), will you afraid of microputting? Anything you need to adjust? At such distance, I often experience microputting at such scenario. Thanks.
I was ABSOLUTELY afraid of microputting actually lol. I have been struggling with that so much lately. It's not as bad of a sidehill microputt chance as the leftsided pins are thankfully, so I didn't spend as much time thinking about it as I normally do
and thank you!!
@@nssricardo9575 i am adjusting my mind so as to accept microputting is simply part of the game. And it also gives me motivation to hit the shot more precisely as you guys did. Congratulations again for such wonderful record. Hope we can see 74 pts very soon from u.
@@nssricardo9575I have so many questions about microputts. Is there any sort of documentation on where/why they happen or how to avoid them?
@@BJTCrafter With as many hours as I've put into the game (1,600+), I still can't quite get around it. The only advice I've heard is to aim higher to play more break with less speed, but I haven't perfected it. I still microputt all the time on sidehillers
If you spectate more than you play you know you’re a goat 🤣
Lmao that's just me not wanting to have looked back on the round, wishing that I hadn't rushed any shots or taken less time than I needed to get it perfect. Made sure to milk the clock
Epic stuff
thank you!
Ricardo!!! Lmao my first golf tournament match ever was against you, and I’m honored to have even been in the presence of such a GOAT like you🫡🫡🫡
hahaha you're too awesome!! Thank you!! When did we play (or what was your username?), was it the first Super League??
Mind if i take some of these shots to my site?
ABSOLUTELY 🤗
You are unquestionably the best player in the world.
haha there are a lot of insanely skilled players in the world who have done/can do things that I will never accomplish, but I wholeheartedly appreciate your compliment! 🙌🏽 That makes me feel so good!
Congrats!!! Nice match I'm so happy for u
Thank you!! 😊
Amazing
thank you!
Congrats!!!!! Now if I can grind it out also.
Thank you so much!! And best of luck in your grind 🙌🏽
Somebody enlighten me… wouldn’t it be possible to get more points than this incredible record in the future? For example, it’s entirely possible to get an albatross on the first hole depicted in the video, instead of an eagle, wouldn’t that technically give him more points? I’m relatively new to nss golf content on TH-cam, but people are describing this record as unbeatable and I’m curious if it really is unbeatable.
It's definitely not unbeatable, as it's already been tied by another friend who I know through a mutual Discord server, Dylan3595. So if you subscribe and/or follow the channel, you might see us livestreaming pretty frequently, and I title the streams "grind for 74" lol. I think a 74 or even 78 are definitely on the horizon
@@nssricardo9575 Haha I didn’t respect to get a reply from the almighty, NSSricardo himself. Honestly I feel like the 74 is well within reach for you. I’ve been watching other nss golf TH-camrs as well, like Sensei, and I feel like one of you guys should be able to achieve it at some point. Good luck!
@@Koag84 Haha thanks a bunch! And you should play with us sometime 🙌🏽
@@nssricardo9575 I’ll try to get to A+ and that should be enough to play with y’all, but I’ll probably get eliminated in the first round every time 😭 but hey I’ll practice
@@Koag84 Nah you'll only go up from here, and before long you'll be surprising yourself with some seasoned skill 🤌🏽
Amazing!
WELL DESERVED!!!
Again, congrats!
thanks again Korev!
It took you 3 months after your first 66 just to get 70!? Laaaaaaame.
In all seriousness though, Clam's -41 18-hole and perfect 9-hole scores are already insane enough, and now we have this accomplishment to add to these past few weeks of NSS golf. Huge congrats man!
Also 69th comment nice-
Lmao thank you! That means a lot to me! It was wild that the -41 and the 70 happened within like 24 hours of each other, and also TyxGamer3 got his -27 record on 18-hole random a few days before this too! Just an insane week, and lolll congrats on 69th comment 🎉
@@nssricardo9575 What!? You’re telling me I had no idea that there was a -27 random seed? Are NSS golfers human? I have a feeling that NSS golfers are robots.
@@askenneddy Yup man! Tyx is insane, he's got the 9-hole-random (non-set seed) record at -16 too 🤯 This is why I've only beaten him in like two tournament matches in our entire existence
@@nssricardo9575How have Switch Sports golfers gotten to the point where the 9-hole random seed record is higher than the 18-hole irl record lmao
Ig Switch Sports it’s easy to get the exact power you want, but idk how you’re supposed to putt.
@@askenneddy lolll I didn't even think of it that way but that's wild to consider 😂
This game makes me forget that I was once addicted to real golf
Wicked!
Woah, this is impressive
thank you much!!
A god among men.
hahaha we're simply a lucky Broice among men, thanks Lars!! 🙌🏽
NEXT LEVEL
THANK YOU brother!!
GOAT
Haha THANKS ECHAAA
No big winds tho ?
Nope, but what am I supposed to do about it 💀
arent u in the video with @sensie? on yt
Yup! Sensei & I have been friends through the game for a while now 🙌🏽
