==Walkthrough==
 
Once at the driving range, wait for Rocco to call for Luis to start swinging. The Union Official is attached to the front of the [[Caddy]].
 
 
First of all, go into 'Fine Aim' mode and position the target exactly over the victim, not the vehicle itself. Now, start your swing, and when it starts to come down, stop the bar on the narrow target line. This should put the ball on target.
 
 
Repeat this twice more, with Rocco moving further away each time, before Messina Family enforcers crash the party in [[Cavalcade FXT|Cavalcades FXT]] and try to stop any information being leaked to the [[Ancelottis]]. Run with Tony down to ground level, or stay up top for the time being and take out the attacking mobsters. With them dealt with, get in the Caddy and follow Rocco in a chase through the park, the Messina pursuers will eventually crash into trees, and it's smooth driving from there.
 
 
Out of danger, Luis, Tony and Rocco meet up in a parking lot. If Luis kills the Union Official, Rocco will complain that he won't be able to get anymore information out of him. If the Messinas kill the official., he'll sound slightly aggravated. However, if the official survived, he'll tell Tony and Luis that he's taking him back home to "do the messy work" and get more information.
