Joaquin's Golf

Joaquin Rodrigo was a famous Spanish composer, who, despite becoming blind at the age of three, learned how to play the piano and violin with the help of Braille. By the time he was in his twenties, his orchestral compositions were already being performed in Spain, and he was living in Paris, where he met the famous composer Maurice Ravel. His musical influence even reached the world of jazz, where Miles Davis was inspired to use Joaquin's music in his famous album "Sketches of Spain."

But let's pretend that Joaquin liked to get out of the concert hall and play some golf - blindness didn't stop him from composing music, so why should it stop him from whacking a little white ball?

How to play: Click somewhere in the green to drop the ball - it will bounce around until it reaches the hole (the location of which is unknown to you). The goal is to have the least number of bounces and to have the lowest score.
