    So how does TW compare to say Madden on the Wii? Madden, unlike TW, got some pretty nice reviews (81 at Metacritic, compared to 71 for TW), and some of the reviewers noted how good the controls are for that game as well. Is this just a thing where using the controller to play golf is much more fun than using it to play football, or is Madden also in the same category as TW in terms of overall enjoyment?

    I have both, and to me, TW is a lot more fun than Madden. The defensive controls on Madden seemed thrown together. It is a better two-player game than the other systems, but I drag the XBox back out when I want to play it by myself. Even so, I think it's honestly just that a well-done golf game works really well on the Wii.

    I got a Wii as a gift a week ago...played Wii sports then went out and got TW. The game is a lot of fun. Can be frustrating at times but you will get the hang of it.

    Yeah, I hate it when I get it on the green on a par 5 in 2 shots and then miss 2-3 puts. Pisses me off

    The putting is horrible. Like trying to get a powerful putt is incredibly hard sometimes...it does get annoying...

    I've gotten pretty good at putting. I still can't chip worth anything, but otherwise, I'm getting pretty good.

    I guess we need a trade off because my driving and chipping are good but my putting from long range i can't get enough distance on it.
