Here EA have utilised the standard three-click mouse control: tap once to activate the swing, again to set speed (and hence distance obtained), and a third time to make sure you don't bugger it all up with a hook or a slice. Using the handy on-screen map, you can line up your shot and get ready to thwack the ball. As you tinker with the arc, the game automatically changes your club for you as the projected distance to be travelled alters. This gizmo is extendable and retractable by using the mouse, and indicates where your shot is likely to end up.

Standing on the tee, the second thing you notice (after the graphics) is the Ctrajectory arc'. All the players look wonderful, if a little detached from the scenery, and their movement has been captured superbly. Tiger pops up throughout the game anyway, occasionally chipping in (sorry) with useful tips, rewarding good shots and encouraging safe or aggressive play. Then select which one of eight pros to Cbe', Tiger Woods included. Into the game proper, and your first task is to choose one of the three exclusive PGA courses available (Pebble Beaches, Sawgrass or Summerlin) which are apparently authentically recreated.
