Get in the Hole!

User Rating: 8 | Tiger Woods PGA Tour 06 XBOX
This is my first venture with the Tiger Woods/EA Sports Golf Franchise and for someone who hates watching golf on TV, I'm really liking this game. I'm not going to sit here and act like a know a whole lot about this game and it's past editions or the PGA in general. All I can say is that this game is fun and time consuming.

I'm still learning all the strategies there is in golf, like ball placement and club selection. With the exception of putting, I struggle a bit with my long and short game. I love the fact that there is Endorsement's in this game. Getting paid to wear a company's clothes, shoes, hats, and glasses or swinging a company's driver, iron or putter.

Graphics are very pleasing -- Whether you're Tiger himself or some goof ball you have created. The courses shine in all their glory, I especially love Pebble Beach.

Gameplay is addictive and frustrating all at the same time. By that I mean this game was well executed, yet, if you're new to golf like myself, you'll get very agitated at how bad your swing is. Although I am getting better with each game, my beginner status shows in tough spots.

This game is a challenge and I like that in a game. Golf seems to be a very humbling sport as I'm finding out. Give me a football or baseball game and I can conquer it in no time, but this game and golf as a whole has put me in check. To those of you who are Veterans to this sport and game, I now see why golf is a growing sport with a lot of attention and love from it's players and fans.
