    People need to stop referring to things like this as a game "addiction." It causes people to assume that actual video game additions are just cases where people really really like the game and play it a lot. #willienelson

    I suck at it though, I finally won a tournament earlier today, the invitational at Turnberry.

    I have a lot of good memories about this game. When I was young my dad would take me to a local dive bar kind of place where he would hang with his friends and watch NASCAR while I flitted around the bar playing Golden Tee and Ms. Pac Man. Maybe not the best parenting in retrospect but I had a blast.

    @JoeyJavs: Same here on the memories.. I remember when my uncle Lou used to take me to the horse-races.. He'd drink is grown-man juice from his sir-chugs-a-lot bucket, he'd eventually panic when he would lose his tinfoil hat again even though the lead pants would reverse most of the rays..

    Golden Tee needs some more respect amongst the gaming crowd, and I'm glad Kotaku gave it.

    @twinturbo2: I'll admit I never gave it credit, and I know I'm a hypocrite for having such a negative view without ever trying the game myself. I just figured it's nothing but trackball video game golf and assumed you see it everywhere because golf games are simple enough for anyone to play (compared to, say, a new player's ignorant enjoyment of a fighting or shooting game). I had no idea there was on-line tournaments and frequent network configuration changes. I'll have to give it a try next time I see one.

    I'm really enjoying these articles. They do a wonderful job of elevating Kotaku above a simple aggregate blog.

    In reply to Footage Leaked of XBL Avatar Golf Game?
    I'm sort of in despair over things like this. It really seems to be the case of "We don't have this? Why don't we have this? THEY have this! WE SHOULD HAVE THIS!" rather than actually considering a features merits and whether it's worth having. It just seems like a desperate attempt to recreate another companies success rather than creating something new and fresh which could drive success on its own (even more so than borrowing rivals ideas). It'd be at least a bit better if they actutally considered why the Wii is more successful (financially) rather than borrowing features until something clicks.

    I never really cared about Mii's and I care even less about avatars. Keep trying Microsoft.
