So after playing golf games all my life and always using the left stick I was very hesitant to switch, but after contionulsy hitting it left and missing a lot of fairways something had to change and my god; WHY DID I NEVER DO THIS BEFORE!!?! It's so much easier with the right stick, I'm straighter then a homophobic in a gay bar. I've upped my game from barely shooting under par to finishing 5 - 7 under. If some of you guys are stuggling to hit it straight with the left I highly suggest changing to the right anolge stick. Trust me.

Are you left handed normally? Why were you using the left stick?
I know I have been moving the controller around looking for the best combination. I do well 90% of the time and very very badly the other 10% LOL Only off the tee do I really get wanky.

I use the right stick, but ever since Tiger Woods (whatever the first one was) I always felt more comfortable holding the controller in my left hand and using my right thumb and index fingers, like you would on a chess piece. It was a curse in Tiger because I couldn't smash the power button (lol), but it was always straight. It's working well until about an hour ago when I developed a draw, but that's me - not the controller or the game.

I started playing tiger woods 04 and it had the left stick and I've just used it ever since lol tbh when I played Rory pga tour I though the right would work better I wish I had changed sooner |

Maybe I should try this. I just went back to player and I could hit them straight. In my last tour club event in career mode, I came dead last. That's why I switched.
I was telling the wife earlier that in the that I never even thought about throwing the controller through the TV screen, but this game, I have lost count.

I tired that actually didn't work for me, I have friends that use to put a straight line of tape under the stick and not even look at the tv when they swung, the good the timing down then just focused on hitting it straight lol |

Good analogy "Holding like a chess piece" like I do. And JUST like you, I do great and then will go a few holes where things are off and I have to readjust (like real golf). It's like I'm always driving ON THE EDGE.
Last night I was on a VERY tough course struggling (official Handicap / tropical course - Amazingly beautiful) and I sucked for 5 holes and then got it back.
I started with LINKS - the original game where you could build great courses. Long before Tiger.

Hahahah get that feeling with a lot of sports games but I'm kinda of a perfectionist and hate not getting my own way, the first couple of days I was doing good with hitting it straight but my last society event I couldn't even hit 40% of fairways (it was a tough course with skinny landing zones and a lot of wind but still) so I thought I'd give the right stick a try and it works great, I think it's the Xbox controller to be honest. It feels werid and hard to get a perfect swing with the anolge stick higher up on the controller |

I get what you mean by adjustments tho, I always hit it slightly left so I always aimed abit to the right to counter act it but now I just cant judge it anymore and sometimes it just slices and go hay wall. |

Right - no outside help.
PGA486 - I forgot about that - I honestly remember golfing on a green screen on my Commodore 64, didn't last long - mostly putting but back then it was amazing LOL
And I'm always going slightly right . . .unless I over correct and YANK it left with gusto.
