Editor's Note: I love playing golf with my father and my brother. I wish they would play Tiger Woods PGA Tour with me -- then maybe I could use my superior knowledge of videogame logic to beat them at some form of golf for the first time in more than two decades!

My father loves to play golf. He's been playing since he was in high school. Unfortunately, actually going out to play is becoming harder and harder to do thanks to time constraints and financial issues. So for Father's Day, my siblings and I got him Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 for Wii (with Wii Motion Plus). My father was pretty excited about the gift, so we both drove to his house and started playing.

First off, thank you, EA, for allowing players to use the same Wii Remote when playing golf and disc golf. Allowing all players to use one Wii Motion Plus without having to trust the consumer to know to buy more is a genius move.

One of the key features of the Wii Motion Plus is that it will give a more 1:1 experience than the original Wii-mote. Tiger Woods PGA Tour has been boasting that with Wii Motion Plus, every flaw in your game will be re-created accurately. Unfortunately for long time golfers -- and new-time gamers -- this is not the case for the entire experience. My father has a very weird golf swing; he deliberately adds a lot of draw to his shots and aims to the right to compensate. The game doesn't read this action very well, so I tend to have better accuracy than him. He also knows how to read greens and elevation very well, but Tiger Woods PGA Tour does not. My father frequently overanalyzes a shot and completely screws it up because the game is not like real golf.

On the other hand, this game is very easy for me. Like all good golf games, Tiger Woods PGA Tour gives you an abundance of information before you take your swing. Not only does it show you where you are aiming, it also tells you how much power you need, wind speed and direction, how much of the surface restricts your shot, and exact elevation. Using all of this information, I can tell what the game wants me to do to make a good shot. This is where I think the game fails on bringing in casual gamers.

Tiger Woods PGA Tour relies too much on videogame logic and math instead of actual golf logic. This means that someone who has played games all of their life and can do quick math in their head will always beat someone who has only played real golf all of their life. While this is true in almost every other videogame out there, that's not what the marketing for this game wants you to believe.

I’ve only played a few hours so far, and I’m really enjoying it. As we play more and more of the game, my father's starting to learn how to play the "videogame" version of golf and is getting better, too. I’ll post a more in-depth review in the future after I have more time with the title.
