For those of you who are golfers

[Tilted]

Bunker shots are one of the things that we are worst at, largely because we don't have an easy way to practice them.

Three or four inches of snow makes a good practice medium. You can lay golf balls on top, or push them down into the snow, and get a feel for how to play different lies.

Of course, some of use never end up in bunkers, so we don't need the practice.

You should pick up Tiger woods 09. The is a practice mode which will allow you to set up an scenario and practice a particular shot until you have it perfected.

ERRRR! Wrong answer you albino basement dweller. Swinging an imaginary golf club is NOT going to give you the feel of a real club going through light fluffy sand or wet hard packed sand.

Not everything can be simulated on a video game.


Life. Go experience it!

I'm sure it will help some. Mastering it on a simulator will allow you to visualize the proper technique to use out on the coarse.

No, it will not. You do not get the same feedback from the club as you would on the course. Trust me, I (try to) golf AND I have Woods 09 so I think I know what I'm talking about. If you took your 300 yard TW swing to the tee box, you'd be lucky to even hit the ball.

Do you think playing Halo3 would make a good member of a combat unit? In real life there are no codes for "long life" or flaming helmet recon, invisibility, bounce back armor.

Trust me, I (try to) golf

Trying is about the best any of us can do.

Hell, I usually end up being Pete's and Ott's whipping boy.:shrug: But I do wear a mean hat.

This is excellent news because the damn lessons I took didn't do a thing for me and the boys still won't let me play. Do you know if they make a Wii verson?

That's what I have, the Nintendo version of TW 09. I refuse to say that I have a ___.

Need some codes?

 

[Xbox360]

Yes they make a Wii version and there is even a Golf club you can stick on you controller to help witht he realistic feel of a golf swing.

Tennis anyone ??

Wrong again, but thanks for playing! That controller is what 18 or so inches? A real club is 46-30 inches with varying weights and lofts so you may "swing" it like a real club but you usually end up looking like you are swatting at flies.

You ought to see the special Wii spikes you have to wear.

Have you ever tried using the wii golf club. I think it is pretty fun to use. I know it isn't just like a real club but it is close enough for indoor use.

It's always about the inches with you guys.

I also use three layer balls.

I'm glad you like using the Wii club. Tell me, can you address the ball the same way and does it affect your on course swing?

 

[Xbox360]

I don't know. I have never been on a golf coarse. I think I would be a prety decent golfer though. I always finish under par on tiger 09 for the wii and the 360.
