Drive for Show (Hot Shot in One in the British English version) is a General minigame from Mario Party: Island Tour. The American name comes from a quote by the late golfer Bobby Locke, renowned for his putting abilities, who said, "You drive for show, but putt for dough." The British name comes from both "hot shot" and "hole-in-one."
