Tony’s confession

Go to Tony’s apartment. He is a wreck. He tells Luis he owes Mori Kibbutz, owes Rocco, and sold shares of the clubs to two different people. Along the way he mentions a blogger called the Celebinator who has been writing about him. For now, Rocco wants them at the golf club.

Drive Tony to the Golden Pier golf club in Castle Gardens. Tony complains about Rocco the whole way. Park by the entrance and go up to the driving range, where Rocco and Uncle Vince have a man in a suit tied into a golf cart down on the range.

Hit the union official

The objective is Hit the Union official with golf balls. The help text explains the swing: move the mouse or stick to aim, press to start the backswing, and press again when the falling power bar reaches the black marker. The cart is a long way out, so aim straight at it and use most of the power bar. After each hit the man gives a little more away: the foreman on the Columbus site, a man named Jack Duffy with the transport workers, and finally that the order comes from the head of the LTA, who is in with the Messina family.

Clear the range and chase Rocco

The official said the Messinas know where he is, and they do. Their men arrive across the range. Head down to the golf cart and clear the area of the Messinas. Crouch to steady your aim, as the help text suggests, and use the fences and carts as cover.

Rocco drives off in the cart with the union man aboard. Get into another golf cart and follow Rocco out of the golf club. Stay close behind him through the course and out onto the street. When he parks, Rocco tells Tony the debt has barely moved, and says he will handle the union man himself.

Take Tony back to his apartment. You will likely have a wanted level from the shootout, so lose the cops on the way.

100% mission rating

Replays and first runs are scored out of 100%. Meet every one of these in a single run for the full rating:

  • Complete the mission in 4:00
  • Take less than 50% damage
  • Kill 11 enemies with headshots
  • Have 70% accuracy or better
  • Hit the union official with every golf ball, with no misses

Every miss costs the golf goal. Watch the power bar carefully and stop it right on the black marker, and aim at the cart itself rather than the man.

What fails this mission

Besides dying or being arrested, the mission ends if any of these happen:

  • Tony dies or is left behind
  • Rocco dies, is left behind or is lost
  • Tony’s Schafter is destroyed
  • The golf cart is destroyed

After the mission

You earn $1,500. Mori Kibbutz now wants to see Luis, opening Kibbutz Number One. With Chinese Takeout done as well, Tony’s Blog This!… and Bang Bang open, and a random character named Arnaud appears. See the random characters page.
