I once went on a bowling date with a chick who said she was really good at bowling on the wii. I flogged her.

Very true, if you learn to golf with Wii, it will not translate to better performance in a golf course. BUT I have used Wii for my off season golf training. I do my normal swing and Wii informs me if my hands were in right position on assumed contact ( hitting the ball).

It's not the same as hitting golf balls, but it's more fun. So there is a was to use xbox and wii and there are lot's of ways to get your technique messed up.

I would use it to learn techniques - but to practise - repeat the technique I know.

ps I lost a boxing double play on xbox kinects. In actual match my opponent wouldn't have had a change.

My Wii Golf scores are much better than my actual golf scores. And the membership is cheaper, too.

I don't think supplementing Call of Duty for actual firearms training is a good substitute, either.

Oh man, and I've been telling people that I'm basically a Delta Force operative!

Just wondering if you've played the golf game on Wii fit? Where you have to stand on the balance board and it records where you shift your weight. Is that any closer to real golf? I don't/can't play proper golf so was just wondering...

I'm a bona fide zombie killa! And no one will ever be able to prove me wrong... I hope.

I've only played Wii with motion plus remote controller. I did not know that you can use the balance board with golf. If it works, it can make the game much more accurate. At the moment I am doing some basic drills with Wii remote that I would do with a club anyway. I get feedback from open/shut "club" face ... or hitting it straigth like the program puts it. I don't know if the feedback is accurate - but atleast I'll get some flexibility as I do the drills.
