he meant normal mode or a new mode on cherry blossom course
Ah, I'm happy to go with whatever. Here is poorly copy pasted info on the update/modes from their discord:-

# Cherry Blossom Remaster & Game Modes Out Now!
<@&840643100179038248>
Our team has been hard at work for over a year to refactor our base game code, allowing us to develop and innovate exciting additions to the game that will fundamentally enhance playstyle. **We are pleased to announce our new Game Modes included in all courses, alongside our expansive remaster of Cherry Blossom, is out now. This update is free of cost.**
## Cherry Blossom Remaster
Rediscover your Zen by revisiting our Cherry Blossom course in full bloom. Additions include:
- Updates and expansions to lighting, environment, and more.
- Select instruments have audio and haptics hookups.
- Fox Hunt clue changes to adapt for environment changes.
## Game Modes
### __New Gameplay Styles__
**Walkabout Match Mode**
> - Enjoy Walkabout’s spin on Matchplay! The player with the lowest score on a hole gets a point; players can tie for points. Most points wins.
> - Players who intentionally leave a Match cannot re-enter. Our team is developing more safety nets for players who accidentally disconnect.
**Race Mode**
> - Players will putt simultaneously to see who can complete the course the quickest!
> - Players cannot join a race late, and will be put into Observer mode.
**Custom**
> - Choose your own game mode, holes and turn order.
### __New Turn Orders__
**Honors (Standard)**
> - The player who scored lowest on the previous hole gets to putt first on the next.
**Distance**
> - Whoever is furthest away from the hole gets to putt first.
**Simultaneous**
> - Players can golf simultaneously in traditional stroke play rounds as well as Race Mode. Simultaneous turn order is not available for Match Mode.
> - Due to technical and design constraints, we don't have any current plans for supporting real-time multiplayer ball collisions.
## Game Version - 5.1 | 27604
Users must update to the **5.1 | 27604** version of Walkabout for Game Modes, smooth gameplay, and multiplayer functionality.
## Happy Golfing! ⛳

Edit: No Walkabout Raggs: Battle Royale™

We do all play at once though! I do wonder about a few things though, because if sticks still get in the way it might be problematic.

And as we all load in at a different time is there an official 3.2.1. Go!

Should be fun though!

to be fair i dont like other guys touchin ma balls in any situation...
made me think we need a prison course

i think they'd need to auto hide other peoples sticks and / or some of the bodys.

im trying not to judge the new modes at the moment. their all multiplay focus which is fine but would have also liked something for solo.
an increate in the number of max players to 10 would have been nice.

thinking about it the big plus side though is games should be shorter, by a lot potentially, as balls go flying around the course.

And as we all load in at a different time is there an official 3.2.1. Go!
only loosers wait for go, winners take risks and oppatunitys when presented :p
