This thread has been linked to the game 'Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour'.
From waking up, getting dressed (new Leeds shirt, hurrah, and checking downstairs for the post, I've been playing on Mario Golf. Bear in mind that I have never touched the 64 version, and, therefore, I can't compare it to the earlier version or whatever.
For the last hour or so, I've been playing through a tournament (on Laiktu), playing the Ring Challenges and just finished a match-up against Luigi, and, in two words, I can accuratelky describe it as a golf sim - above average. If this was back on the 64, it'd be superb as a golf sim. But now, with the new ways to hit the ball with the analogue stick, it justr looks aged.
But, if you're buying a Mario game to be a simulator then there is something up with you, seriously. Being able to 'compliment' the other player and fill his screen with 'let's go!', 'you're the best' by button smashing is a good touch, and could do well in multiplayer, and the range of characters bodes well for playability.
I'm going back for another go. I'll post back with some more thoughts later on.

Flag shot = When ball hits flag before ground/pin.
SR = £29.99
Anyone know where I can get Mario Golf : TT for under £30?
I'm going to slaughter Peaches Invitational with Star Luigi, then go for my albatrosses, baby
Pfft... have any of you got albatrosses or hole-in-ones yet in Toadstool Tour? No? Amateurs... :-D
Anyway, I think I might play this again later on. I won't start now, because if I do I'll miss Holland-Czech Republic, which would be quite rubbish. But I will play it tonight. Not had a go in months, but all this positive talk has inspired AJ again.
Plus, AJ wants Mario Tennis sooooo much. Golf is good, but Tennis will be immense. Yes.

Flag... shots?
I was sooo close with a backspin hole-in-one, I hit the pin! *curses*
And I've finally achieved flagshot's in all three games, hooray!

i know a hole in one is coming. I keep getting close, but something always stops it (backspin or topspin, usually)
Yeah, it saves replays on the GBC and N64 versions too.
I have only ever achieved 1 albatross, and that was on the GBC version.
Loads of hole-in-ones, though. :)

Happened with me, like, twice.
But my eagle from 170 yards is being continually viewed (saves your birdies and stuff in options>records>highlights)
I have continually orgasmed over that single shot.
Mmmm
