Disc golf, meanwhile, has rules similar to golf but involves using a flying disc instead of a golf ball and clubs. The Wii is an interactive video game console that allows play with arm movements using a handheld controller. "I've been contacted by two different (software) companies who are both interested in making disc golf games for the Wii," said Brian Graham, an Augusta resident and the executive director of the Professional Disc Golf Association, which is managing a new International Disc Golf Center at Wildwood Park in Appling. Don't get discouraged, everyone hits a bad golf shot from time to time.By Preston Sparks, Thursday, July 26, 2007Ĭhildren and those young at heart could be playing a different sport next year on their Nintendo Wii video game console - one that has a direct connection to Columbia County - disc golf. You won't have to worry about wind or water or sand traps as much as you do on the more difficult courses. To get better at Wii golf you need to practice. This means it will be more difficult to hit a straight shot. In Wii-golf, when you hit the ball into the rough or the sand traps, you get a much shorter power bar when you go to hit the shot. Tip: Try not to hit the ball in the rough or in sand traps. The greens are not always flat, and the golf ball will not always roll straight. These will give you a clue as to how the ball will roll once you hit it. Tip: When putting with the Wii-mote, look at the contours or lines on the golf green. Practice will help you to learn how to line up your golf shot while accounting for the wind. If the wind arrow is red and the wind is really blowing you will need to make a pretty good adjustment on how you line up the shot. Tip: Look at the wind when lining up your golf shot. So, if you are aiming for the golf hole, try to get the ball to land some distance before the hole and then let it roll to the hole. Keep in mind that the golf ball will then bounce and roll for additional distance. This is where the ball will land (not including adjustment for the wind). Tip: The marks on the Wii power bar match up to the marks shown when lining up your golf shot. Sometimes this can work out to your advantage, but it's very tough to control. If you go past the ball will hook or slice. When trying to hit the ball far, the trick is to get as close to the end of the blue bar without going past it. You can practice swing before hand by swinging without the A button pushed down. When taking a golf swing with the Wii-mote you hold down the A button and swing the Wii-mote just like you would a real golf club. The putter: The putter is used on the green. You won't be able to hit it very far, but it will be fairly accurate. The wedge: The wedge is for short golf shots near the green. Where you need to hit the ball far, but accurate. The Iron: The iron is for mid-range golf shots. It's not as accurate as some of the other golf clubs, but will hit the ball the furthest. The Driver: The driver is for hitting the ball far. There are different types of golf clubs you will get to select when playing: There are a certain number of strokes for par on each hole and there are par 3, 4, and 5 golf holes. The fewer the strokes it takes you to hit the golf ball into the hole, the better. You can also choose to play all 9 holes in one game. There are three golf holes for each of the difficulties. There are three difficulty levels: Beginner, Intermediate, and Expert. Wii golf is a great way to get acquainted with the game of golf and it can be loads of fun.
