Once you create your golfer, however, you have a long road ahead of you toward enjoyment of the game. Your golfer starts off as an incredible amateur, with stats well below the worst pro in the game. You accrue better stats through challenges, but most times, you are sorely outmatched by your opponents and you have no chance of winning. This should be changed. I can make myself a stud in baseball or hockey, why not golf too? I mean, make a cap to keep it interesting, but give me a chance.

 

Aside from the Photo Face, there are a few new enhancements. The graphics seem a little crisper, as I guess developers are really learning the 360 and taking advantage of the hardware. Also, there are a few new courses, notably Westchester Country Club, a course I have played myself and found to be recreated nearly perfectly, as I presume all courses are.

Also, you can now swing the old way. Instead of the analog stick, you can now go back to the 3 click method of the old days. It is not as realistic, of course, but I am sure there are people out there who miss this technique. There's no reason not to have it, in my opinion. I mean, why alienate those who don't like the analog stick? Good job there.

Also, as if this is big news, you can challenge a wide array of professional golfers, be they PGA or LPGA. The LPGA is a new addition and I guess this is a good thing, as I know the PS3 and 360 are seriously lacking in female gamers. There's no reason to not cater to them.
