Contains a scorecard holder, bag carrier, and all terrain low pressure tires, the Segway X2 will take your typical 4 hours 18 hole run down to under 3 hours. It will set you back $8000 though. I’ll take the buggy anytime, thanks.

Now you can do it anytime with this super cool iPhone Golf Swing Analyzer app that leverages on the iPhone video capability. Not sure how well it works but check it out at iSwing.

Also check out the Youtube video of the App:

Pretty full featured and functional.

Check out the official reviews from the big boys gathered here for your reading pleasure:

“Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 for Wii is the definitive golf game. It’s filled to the top with content, sports spectacular controls enhanced by MotionPlus, and includes great Disc Golf and online modes. Seriously, this is an amazing package made all the better by the peripheral pack- in. Just as impressive, though, is that this year’s effort is so intuitively enjoyable that it has, in my experience, transcended the golf category altogether to become one of those rare Wii games that I will confidently recommend to anybody. Wii Sports, Wii Fit, Boom Blox and now Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 — these are all games that are spectacular because of the very technology that makes Wii great. Like Wii Sports, Woods 10 could not be made as well for any other system. Get out there and support this excellent sequel — a standout effort that will surely be in competition for sports game of the year” ~ IGN : 9.0

“Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 has turned last year’s great near-miss into an all-time classic. Improved motion-control support, more game features, and expanded online modes make it incredibly immersive and authentic. Golf games just don’t get any better than this.

Tiger Woods 10 for the Wii is as close as you can get to a golf course without paying green fees.” ~ Gamespot : 9.0

“With the addition of MotionPlus, Woods 10 on the Wii is a fantastic golfing videogame, besting its console counterparts because of its control options, extra courses, party game modes, and Frolf. Not to mention, it’s casual friendly for anyone to play, but with enough difficulty options for the hardcore to stay interested. It’s almost hard to imagine it getting better than this for the foreseeable future.” ~ 1UP : 91/100

Enjoy! Compiled from Games FAQs.

When the Wii version of the game came out, Woods welcomed a controller that players swing like a golf club, but he saw room for improvement. “It was too easy,” he says. “If you rotated the [club] face, nothing happened. Now if you rotate your wrists, it changes your shot. The ball goes to the right if you under-rotate, which is what happens in a golf swing.”

Sorry for the long break in blogging. I had a very busy year-end with little time to enjoy my golf on and off the green. However I did managed to get on the green over the holiday season. So I’ll leave u with a little nugget that I saw on my golf cart.

Happy new year Wii golfers!

Just a gentle reminder, that Tiger Woods PGA 09 will be out this month. According to Gamespot, it will be launched August 26 in North America, and August 29 in Europe to be exact.

So it looks like us PAL owners will not t have to wait that long for our copy!

I wait with bated breath!

EDIT: Tiger plugs the game in his August newsletter from TigerWoods.com

Later this month, we’re going to launch our new video game: Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09. We’ve made some exciting changes, like the new “true one-to-one golf swing,” that I really think you’re going to like. In fact, the game just recently won the Best Sports Game of E3 2008 for the Wii. ~ Tiger Woods

Get well soon Tiger, we miss you!

play golf, I’m lousy at it, but I play golf. The main reason to why I haven’t really improved, a least I think so, is that I only play 3-5 times a year. The last couple of years I have played to a handicap around 48, which I’m not entirely satisfied with.

But in november 2007 we got a Nintendo Wii at work, so people can play in their lunchbreak and after work. I have played a lot of golf on the Wii, and on the Wii like in real life, I have a really bad slice. So game after game on the Wii, during the winter, I have tried to correct this slice, and I have succeeded. So a little month a go, when I was out playing my first real game of golf this year, to my big surprise, I did in real life as I did on the Wii, and my slice was almost gone. Now I have played a couple of more games, and each time to a handicap around 40 and almost without slicing. With this in mind, I have played a lot of Golf on the Wii for the last week, to prepare for the next game of real golf, which will be on sunday. This time I have focused on controlling my swing speed, to be more persistent. Hopefully It pays off.

Looks like there is evidence that Wii Golf does help your real golf game! Best of luck Bo and let us know how it goes.
