One of the biggest struggles playing a game, and I've played a lot. This game is HARD. The CPUs and pars for each whole pull no punches and require pinpoint accuracy both in terms of aiming your shot as well as the actual button press timing. Missing a hole can (and usually will) cost you your whole game. This was one of my first golf games, so I don't know if the difficulty is this high for other games in the genre. Don't be fooled by mario and friends on the box man this game will whip you 6 ways to sunday.
