Two problems: First, that natural feel that comes from moving your front foot two inches to the left and spanking the ball a centimeter lower down is completely compromised by the fact that you swing your club not with the analog stick, but by clicking the shoulder buttons. Second, the added number of esoteric variables and some questionable physics and inadequate info displays make it tough to discern exactly what happened when a shot goes wrong - which will happen a lot, especially early on. This game isn't unfairly hard, but it's tougher than Tiger, for sure.
It's also unpolished and sparse: The graphics are sub-par, and the textures blend so well it's too easy to misread the topography. You'll have to toggle between two different screens to adjust your shot properly. The commentary is incredibly redundant. Opponents move at a snail's pace, so watching the computer take its turn soaks up huge moments of your precious life. The only play styles are Stroke and Match play (though there is two-player ad-hoc multiplayer).
