Anyone playing tiger woods pga tour 11 for the Wii? I recently got it, even built myself a actual club that holds the wiimote at the end of an old wedge I cut in half.

Seems like a pretty good sim, if nothing else keeps me swinging through the northeast off season until a range opens up.

I just got it this Christmas and love it. I like how there is a different swing difficulty for everyone, the tour pro mode is pretty realistic and I shoot scores I would in real life, and at the other end of the spectrum the all play mode is super easy and I was able to get in 18 holes on 37 strokes!

And, have you tried the Ryder Cup mode yet? Me and my friends have a blast playing it, and even played a 50 cents a hole round the other night (I won 2 dollars). It's a fun game and will keep my occupied during un-golfable weather.

I played a 9 hole round with my mother tonight, and as expected, she power sliced all her drives, mis hit most iron shots, etc...This was while using the tiger woods character.

This game really does require some kind of golf swing to play it well. Slicers slice, hookers hook, etc....

Okay im gettin the game now. Its only like $50AUD so why not. I know its not like swinging a real club but i believe it will help me practice some fundamentals, like hips forward, and swinging in to out.

Besides golf is my 2nd sport behind cricket in summer and i dont get time to go to the course much.

If nothing else it will keep your swing loose. Having played the game a hell of a lot, I feel ready to hit the course.

I really really suggest you invest in the Chicken Stick. Simply holding a real grip instead of the square wiimote makes the game 10x more immersive and enjoyable.

I would argue its the best video game accessory of all time.

    • I’d go with the Titleist if you liked the look of the blades but were suffering with distance. They should be a little more forgiving than a full blade and still retain some workability. Also remember to consider the shafts each have as this will be a big contributor to how they feel. Clemsonfan is right though… get fit or spend a bit of time on a launch monitor 🤙
    • Day 28: 2026.01.30 Managed to make time for a few swings out back today. Need a proper bit of range time this weekend.
    • Day 30, 1/30.  Six minutes this morning hitting a few more range balls, indoors, off a mat, into the net.  Did this before leaving the house.

    • Hi All my New Year’s resolution was to start playing golf again. I’ve caught the bug and am really enjoying hitting balls at a couple of my local ranges.looking forward to getting back out on courses in the spring. Based in the UK and 38 years old, I’ve been playing since I was a kid. Best handicap I’ve held is 2 in my mid 20s. Over the past 10 years I’ve played once or twice a year, sometimes with friends or for work. Could shoot 4-5 over, but just as easily shoot 15-20 over. I’ve moved to South Wales and am very lucky to be near some world class links courses, which gives me even more motivation to get playing again! I will start looking for a local coach in my area when I have more time to invest, but I recalled scouring this forum a few years ago and finding some good tips and advice so wanted to give it a try to see if there were any glaring issues I could fix in the meantime!  A few swings below… one from 1st week Jan and one from today. I have fixed my P1 takeaway to my liking and am now working on what I see as pretty severe early extension & hip thrust. Also terrible hip rotation. I’d like confirmation that this is indeed a problem and and suggestions on a few good drills. Thanks for reading 🙂 I've been Playing Golf for: 30+ years My current handicap index or average score is: 10ish over My typical ball flight is: mid The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: push right with irons, hooks and push with driver!  Videos:
