Very intriguing at first but then you see the flaws...

I'm not a huge fan of golf games. The last one that I truly liked was Sensible Golf. Now I decided to give this one a try (thank you bargain bin) and discovered that this game could be a whole lot better. The mouse controlled swing, the humorous commentators - that often help you with putting - and the create thyself mode made this game worth the try.

Maybe it's just me or does the ball sometimes fly to the rough no matter how well you seem to hit it. And another thing.... the game seems... to load... pretty long.... so... you better.... have... something else.... .... .... to do while playing.... this game....

Let's play a par 5, shall we. I spend around 20 seconds total in aiming and swinging and whatnot. I do get a lucky birdie but it takes me two and a half minutes from the beginning of that hole to get to the beginning of the next hole. So over two minutes of pure waiting fun. No, wait! That's not fun.

I decided to call it quits when my alter ego was in the beginning of his glorious PGA tour career. I just couldn't spend any more time waiting.
