It can be the difference between Par and Birdie. Plan it out - Don't just shoot blindly! Sometimes the indirect path to the hole is best. Keep clear visibility - Press the * to remove your golfer from the screen during tricky putts. Keep clear of traps - Try and stay on the fairway Your shots will be weaker from the rough.
Customer Reviews
This is a great golf game! It offers simple controls for amateurs, yet provides options during play for more experienced players and true-blue golf fans.
This game kept me occupied through all 18 holes the first time I played it. And I only spent 30 seconds or so reading about the controls; that's how easy it is to pick up!
One grouse I do have about this game is that I am unable to see the lie (terrain?) of the green when I am lining up for a shot to the green, or even when I am putting. But otherwise, if one wanted to play against woods and other legends, this would be my top recommendation.
- Adam Tan 9/10
I've been looking for a 'proper' golf game for the f480 for some time, so had no hesitation in buying this one when it became available.
Positive points:
- gameplay similar to larger format golf games
- it's not too easy (esp. In the higher difficulty modes)
- graphics are good (esp. Ball flying through the air)
Negative points:
- only 2 courses (i wouldn't mind, but the start-up sequence suggests there are many courses in the game)
- you can't give a player your name (minor point)
- many putts are impossible to hole when putting up-hill. This is because every green slopes upwards from front to back - if you land your ball below the hole, no matter whether you have perfect line and 100% power most times the ball won't reach the hole. The answer, of course, is to try to land the ball beyond the hole on each green (which makes the game slightly less fun).
Overall, this is a very good mobile golf game and well worth the money.
- David Partington 8/10
Ok - this is my experience on my se w890i.
I've bought quite a few golf games on mobile over the years, and I have an older version of this (maybe 07) on my ancient motorola v3x which I was always impressed by, but this game goes much further. Ea have taken advantage of the newer phone, and now we've got two complete 18 hole courses, full animation from behind the ball, and customisable golfers on top of what was already a fantastic game. This is the best mobile golf game I have ever seen, by miles!
The only things i'd want to change would stop if being tiger woods pga tour, but it might be a better game if you had to train or practice to get better attributes, but this is the only way I can think of to improve this fantastic title.
If you only buy one game, buy this one.
