Did They Make The Demo Easy?

This is my first hole in 1 on any PGA game. My 3rd hole ever played on this game. I changed the difficulty to pro as you can see. Was this actually a good shot or did they beef up the demo to make you feel good?

According to PlayStation, I have about 250 hours combined on both 2k21 & 2k23 so I play a bit but not a lot.

I ended going -1 thru 9 after my 2nd hole I got 9 strokes on. Game seemed slightly forgiving but smooth overall. Don't like the delay in the follow camera though.
