![]() ![]() The final aspect to cover in Wii Golf is putting. Then, take some practice swings until you feel you are in a groove at hitting that “sweet spot.” When you feel you are ready, hold in the A button and take an actual whack at the ball and watch it sail away in all of its efficient glory. Before taking an actual swing at the ball, you should always first find out how much power you wish to put into your swing. The best advice one could give to make this process slightly less painless is to practice, practice, practice. That all sounds fine in theory, but actually managing the strength of your swings is the most enduring part of the game. Rarely will this have a dramatic effect, but it could very easily mean the difference between a clean hit down the center of the fair way and an ugly shot landing deep in the rough. If your shot strength exceeds the meter’s capacity it will no longer travel in a straight path and instead lose some of its always-important accuracy. Also, if your shot requires you to hit the ball at full-strength, be warned that there are risks involved. If the wind is blowing from behind you it will carry your ball, forcing you to compensate by hitting a softer shot. For example, these measurements are assuming that wind is not a factor. Yet there are still other things to be considered. Doing so accurately should place you close by the hole. For example, if you are using your iron to approach the hole but the first circle on the ball’s path is closest to the hole, you’re only going to swing so hard as to fill the meter up to the first circle. Whichever circle is closest to the hole on the map is the one you will want to measure your swing meter against. If it is the final diamond, you’re going to have to hit the ball with full power but if it’s anything in between, you’re going to have to use some touch. Once you have the appropriate club selected, look on the map and see which circle on the balls path is closest to the hole. Whenever you swing your golf club, the amount of power you put behind it will be indicated by how high the meter fills. There is also going to be a small meter along side your Mii with similar looking circles in it. These dots are going to assist you in monitoring the strength of your swing. ![]() Leading from the ball is a line with dots spaced out along the way, while the dots gain separation as the larger clubs are chosen. The map showing the spot of your ball to the hole is key. ![]() If you are so unlucky as to hit it into the rough or a bunker, you’re going to want to use a wedge. While far out on the fairway, you’re almost always going to want to use your iron. When teeing off, you will always want to use your driver. If you are teeing off with an 18 MPH wind blowing sharp to your right, for example, it may be a good idea to aim a bit to the left.īefore you can do anything, of course, you’re going to need to pick a club by using the up and down buttons on the directional pad. It is also important to take into consideration the wind and make sure to compensate for it. That is not the only factor influencing your game, however. Once you have the three-hole course on beginner down to perfection, leaping straight to the nine-hole course should be a seamless transition because really, swing mechanics is what your success relies on in Wii Golf. Doing so will allow you enough time to practice your swing mechanics and the other basic controls of the game, without having to worry much about difficult shots that over trees or water. When starting out in Wii Golf, I would recommend staying with the three-hole course on beginner. Wii Golf is no Tiger Woods PGA Tour but for a ‘package deal’ with Nintendo’s next-generation console, it is a game which plays as authentically as one could hope for. Most important, of course the game should play authentic from crushing the ball off the tee to putting it gently into the hole. The game should feel authentic from the fluidity of animations to the quality of commentators. The game should look authentic from the birds in the trees to the sweat on Tiger’s neck. Sports gamers of recent years have demanded more and more in regards to a realistic gameplay experience. While Wii Golf may not be quite as popular as some of its other counterparts in Wii Sports, it is certainly a fine game in its own right.
