It’s unclear which issues have been rectified for Nintendo Switch Sports, but players should expect smoother gameplay. Unlike other patch notes, the introduction of golf prompted Nintendo to put together a video showcasing a family playing the new content. The announcement comes from the Nintendo of America Twitter page, which we’ve attached above.
Furthermore, players can also try out Survival Golf to see who will be the last person standing. To see other updates and previous patch notes, be sure to visit the game’s support page.
