COURSE OVERVIEWS

A little research before you hit the course may provide you with a nugget of information to help you along the way. These overviews provide background on each course and a tip or two to improve your round.

PEBBLE BEACH

Design: Jack Neville and Douglas Grant Founded: 1919

“Years before it was built, I could see this place as a golf links. Nature had intended it to be nothing else.”

So said designer Jack Neville of the place where now stands the Pebble Beach Golf Links. Club founder Samuel F. B. Morse dreamed of a course that could host the California State Amateur. In 1920, Pebble Beach hosted its first State Amateur, and the tournament has never left. Since then, Pebble Beach has become one of the most famous and popular courses in the world. Each year, this public course plays host to the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am Tournament.

It didn’t take much clearing or imagination to turn this picturesque cove into what is now regarded as a monument of golf. According to Neville, the key to the design was to place as many holes as possible along the water. On the front nine, you’re confronted with the majesty of the Pacific Ocean. Mature coastal redwoods refuse to protect the course from a sometimes dense fog that rides the back of a steady ocean wind. Fairways tend toward the long and narrow and are protected by wide bunkers where dreams go to die. Holes 7 through 10 can challenge the best golfers, many of whom claim that Hole 18 is the best finish in all of golf.

It took Neville six years to design Pebble Beach, which is consistently ranked among the best courses in the world. Curiously, this gem was the only course that Neville designed in his career.

In recent years, some greens at Pebble Beach have been redesigned, yet in 2001, this remarkable course on the coast of Monterey, California was named the #1 golf course in America by Golf Digest magazine. For more information on Pebble Beach, go to www.pebblebeach.com.

EA Tips: Pebble Beach

✧

Watch the wind closely at Pebble Beach. A sailor’s dream and a golfer’s nightmare, it comes predominantly from the ocean but is known to swirl and change directions quickly.

✧

Shot-making is at a premium. Avoid overswings and shots that lift the ball. Use the Shot menu to tailor your approach.

✧

Bunkers are generally wide and shallow. The sand moistened by the steady sea breeze can bury you.

✧

Bunkers are generally wide and shallow.

✧

The contours tend to run towards the ocean. When you’re unsure, aim for the uphill side of the greens.

✧

There is little shame in a two-putt green. Mistakes can end up far down the hill. However, champions don’t lay up.

✧

One more time: remember the wind.

SPYGLASS HILL

Design: Robert Trent Jones, Sr. Founded: 1966

Named for a famous feature of Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island, the Spyglass Hill course delivers another grand adventure on California’s Monterey coast. Just a few miles from its sister course Pebble Beach, Spyglass Hill was built by Robert Trent Jones, Sr. in the 1960s and has been rated as the fourth best public-access course in the US. In terms of pure challenge, however, many rank Spyglass Hill at the top of the mountain.

The course begins at the top of Spyglass Hill and runs straight to sea down Hole 1. This 600-yarder bends and butts straight into the crashing Pacific. A spectacular start is followed by four holes that suggest the finest holes in the British links game. Rolling over sandy dunes, Holes 2 through 5 can catch a ball in the teeth of the wind and throw it into a tangle of very unforgiving ice plant. Targets are narrow, and while the views are magnificent, concentration is a must.

At Hole 6, the course turns inland and up into the Monterey pines of the Del Monte Forest. Jones used the natural elements to his advantage, as a number of trees guard the easy routes to the cup. Broad branches overhang the driving lanes and can obscure your view of the terrible greenside bunkers that lay in wait.

Coming back in through the trees, the course maintains the challenge on a number of memorable holes. Hole 11 is tempting for long hitters who stay a bit right off the tee. An eagle is 225 yards away, but a short iron puts you in position to make birdie. Even the par 3s are tough, as Hole 12 and Hole 15 have plenty of water to steal a few strokes and stomp on your ego. The 16th is considered by many to be the toughest on the course, as only a careful marksman can wind through the stands of trees to the green without difficulty.

Page 24

Spyglass Hill is universally recognized as a true test of all golf skills and every club in your bag. Although Pebble Beach gets all of the press, many acknowledge Spyglass Hill as the better of the two courses during the annual AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am in January. For more information on Spyglass Hill, go to www.pebblebeach.com.

EA Tips: Spyglass Hill

✧

Stay right on Hole 4. A 230-yard drive leaves you in good position to drop an iron on the green.

✧

A number of holes have steep front-to-back greens. Use the Camera Editor to find the optimal landing area and to estimate the ball’s roll.

✧

Even on the final 13 holes through the Monterey forest, wind is a factor. Check the gauge before you swing.

✧

Utilize the Hole Overheads to assess the many dogleg holes at Spyglass Hill. When you’re standing at the tee, click on a landing spot in the Hole Overhead to see the distance—a crucial tool for good course management.

✧

The elevation changes on some of the downhill holes can be dramatic. Step down a club or cut down on your swing to avoid overshooting the greens where you can expect a bad lie and a big penalty.

✧

Where the course climbs through the forest, a number of greens are crowned and elevated. Change your camera view to have a look at these hidden landing zones.

✧

By any standard, Spyglass Hill is a very demanding course. There is no shame in par.

POPPY HILLS

Design: Robert Trent Jones, Jr. Founded: 1986

After his father’s success in designing Spyglass Hill, Robert Trent Jones, Jr. returned to Monterey 20 years later and created an equally worthy course for the Northern California Golf Association, which runs Poppy Hills to this day. Nestled inland among cypress and coastal pines, Poppy Hills reflects a more subdued personality than its seaside neighbors. The sand and ocean are miles away, yet the majesty of golf in Monterey curls like fog through the statuesque Del Monte Forest that shapes the fairways.

Designed to host amateur championships, Poppy Hills features large rolling greens strategically defended by sand and water. Here and there on the course, you can catch a glimpse of the sand and water of the Pacific through the trees down to the sea. Poppy Hills achieves a nice balance with five par 5s and five par 3s. The 6,861-yard course seems to wander through majestic pines, yet the abundant doglegs can catch you off-guard. While you may land a tee shot with a good angle for the green, your second shot usually presents an interesting problem of risk and reward. The big greens look inviting, but they are shaped to roll errant shots into greenside water and sand.

Although handicapped by its proximity to shining stars like Pebble Beach and Spyglass Hill, Poppy Hills is nevertheless consistently ranked among the best courses in Northern California. Like the other two, Poppy Hills hosts rounds for the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.

Poppy Hills is the only course in America owned and operated by a regional golf association. For more information on Poppy Hills, go to www.ncga.org/poppy.htm.

EA Tips: Poppy Hills

✧

Mark Twain is credited with saying that the coldest winter he ever spent was a summer in San Francisco. The same can apply to any of the Monterey courses two hours to the south. For summertime events, turn up the wind.

✧

Big hitters can go for it on the par 5s, except for the double dogleg on Hole 4.

✧

Poppy Hills is designed for amateur play. Pros can be very assertive in woods and irons. The greens have plenty of roll, so you want to get to them as soon as possible.

ROYAL BIRKDALE

Design: George Lowe, F.F. & F.W. Hawtree Founded: 1889

One of several renowned courses on the English coast between Formby and Southport, the Royal Birkdale links has hosted eight British Open Championships in its storied history. Founded in 1889 by a group of eight “to make all necessary arrangements and incur all necessary expense as to preparing the course and greens, hiring a professional and providing suitable accommodation for a Club House…”, the Birkdale Golf Club moved from a 9-hole course at one location to its current place in 1897.

Nestled among massive sand dunes, the Royal Birkdale course lies on the perfect terrain for a links course. Looming above the course, the dunes provide excellent vistas of the coast and the competition below and provide shelter from the coastal wind. No shot on Birkdale is blind, yet the subtleties of links golf are present in force. Greens are often placed hard by a dune, making any errant shot a tricky bit of bunker work. Willow scrub and undulations in the course disguise targets and can often be overlooked by the careless golfer.

With over 100 years of rounds to call upon, the groundskeepers have tinkered with the layout to provide optimal challenges for even the greatest golfers in the world. For example, the new green at the famous Hole 6 forces you to pay more attention to your drive. A long drive results in a small target for the second shot, while a short drive may leave you blind to the green. Greens can alternate between narrow and crowned, often leaving what a fine shot on a lesser course in the sand.

Host of the 1998 British Open won by Mark O’Meara, Royal Birkdale is one of the ten best courses in Britain and among the best in the world. For more information on Royal Birkdale, go to www.royalbirkdale.com.

EA Tips: Royal Birkdale

✧

The wind can really howl at Royal Birkdale, but it can disappear completely behind a sizable dune. Although the fairways are large, beware of the push of any crosswind.

✧

The par 3s are noteworthy. Precise tee shots are required, and the penalties can be heavy.

✧

The rough at Royal Birkdale is not always a bad thing, stay out of the weedrough. It can ruin a round.

✧

Club selection and distance are very important on the course. If you have any doubts, consult your Caddie Book or the Hole Overhead view.

✧

Playoffs traditionally begin at Hole 15, which is too long to be attacked. On 16, the championship tee is quite a bit longer than the amateur tees. The 18th is an outstanding finishing hole. The best comes last.

TOURNAMENT PLAYERS CLUB AT SAWGRASS™ – STADIUM COURSE

Design: Pete Dye with consultation by Deane Beman Founded: 1980

Former PGA TOUR Chairman Deane Beman envisioned a series of courses designed specifically for hosting top-flight tournaments before large galleries. The first, and perhaps best, product of his vision was the TPC at Sawgrass™.

Built across the highway from the Atlantic Ocean, TPC at Sawgrass was intended to become the fifth major tournament on the PGA TOUR. PGA TOUR Pros, however, found the new course to be unfair to players, and Dye went back to the drawing board in 1983 to smooth some course features. A target design, TPC at Sawgrass debuted the concepts of stadium golf: plenty of undulating terrain and carefully placed pot bunkers. Nearly every one of the eighteen holes is flanked by water to challenge the most seasoned golfers. Experience on the course pays dividends, as the numerous blind shots and quick greens become less troublesome. However, slender fairways demand consistent shots to finish with a good score.

The signature of the course, the lovely island of Hole 17 has spelled doom for innumerable rounds, as there is no margin for error. If the pin is at the front of the green, use a pitching wedge. If it’s at the back, you should consider a nine-iron. Either way, hit a straight tee shot, or put on your wading boots. While Hole 17 gets all of the accolades, Hole 18 can catch you off-guard. Water runs down the left side of the hole, yet a tee shot pushed away from it can leave you with a difficult approach to the tiny green. Overshooting the green can plop you in the bunkers at the back. Good luck and have fun….

Permanent host to THE PLAYERS Championship™ tournament at the beginning of each PGA TOUR Season, TPC at Sawgrass is consistently ranked among the Top 100 golf courses in the world by industry publications. For more information on Tournament Players Clubs visit www.tpc.com.

EA Tips: TPC at Sawgrass™

✧

Play a number of practice rounds before tournament or head-to-head competition. Knowing the terrain and layout of this course has definite advantages.

✧

This course is a slender and temperamental beauty. Drop your shots on the Bermuda grass of the fairways, or you may be hacking through the jungle to find it.

✧

Target courses require consistency. Unless you’re on a roll, lay up and put pressure on the competition to make mistakes.

222255

Page 28

✧

There aren’t many shortcuts on this course. Stay away from the trees; they are just as tall as they look. Having a straight and long driver at Sawgrass is a very good thing.

✧

Especially when the wind picks up, extra time spent in the practice areas can really pay off.

✧

The greens dish out three-putts like cheap souvenirs. Play your first putt on the fast grass carefully.

THE PRINCE COURSE PRINCEVILLE

Design: Robert Trent Jones, Jr. Founded: 1991

In 1991, Robert Trent Jones, Jr. brought his remarkable eye for design to the north shore of the Hawaiian island of Kauai, and on the emerald coast, he carved a gem. Forty-five links-style holes of the Princeville Resort run along verdant bluffs below gentle hills and over the warm waters of the Central Pacific. To draw the serious golfer 2,000 miles from Spyglass Hill and Pebble Beach, the views and the golf must be worth it. Both are delivered in perfect condition.

The Prince Course is the signature 18 at Princeville. From each tee, you can see the ocean, yet the course has been rated one of the most challenging in the state of Hawaii. Deep ravines wind around strategically placed and shaped hills that force golfers to make quality shots. For example, Hole 1 is a rare double dogleg that runs downhill off the tee and continues downhill to the green for your second shot. Pitch in front of the stream guarding the green? Or, go for it all? The challenges begin at the beginning.

The Prince Course is routinely ranked as the best course in Hawaii and one of the top 100 in America. For more information on the Princeville Resort and the Prince Course, go to www.princeville.com.

EA Tips: Princeville

✧

If you’ve played Cypress Point in Monterey, Hole 7 will look very similar to the famous Hole 16. The wind blows straight at the tee, so swing hard from the box.

✧

Greens tend to be a bit more forgiving here in the Aloha State. Many are pitched towards the front to catch the ball, but the few that aren’t can ruin a round.

✧

Tradewinds will funnel up the valley and can vary significantly. If the wind is up, you might need to step down two or even three clubs to make the shots you want.

✧

Have a look around. Princeville is a beautiful place.

To play golf, you need power, flexibility, and coordination. To excel at it, you need all three in excess. The perfect swing requires a smooth motion (or “arc”) that drives down to a spot of contact that is a fraction of an inch in diameter. Golfers spend years tinkering with their swing, but you can grasp the basics in this short chapter on tactics and preparation.

SWING TYPES

Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 2002 gives you four different mechanisms for controlling your swing on the course. Beginners may get the hang of golfing with the 2 Click swing, while more experienced players can find better success with TrueSwing (V) or TrueSwing (H) types. The old standard 3 Click swing is also available.

TRUESWING™ (V)

The TrueSwing Vertical swing gives you the best simulation of swinging a golf club ever created for a computer game. Use your mouse to control the onscreen golfer’s swing in real-time, perfecting your rhythm and tempo, just like a real golfer.

✧

TrueSwing (V) is the default swing type in Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 2002.

✧

For more information on executing TrueSwing (V),

➣

Using TrueSwing on p. 37.

TRUESWING™ (H)

The TrueSwing (H) type of stroke is exactly like the TrueSwing (V), except that you move right to backswing and move left to swing through the ball.

3 CLICK

The 3 Click swing is the classic Tiger Woods PGA TOUR swing. Longtime computer golfers may prefer this swing type on the course.

EA TIP:

To move the Swing Meter, right-click and hold on the Swing Meter. Move it to a new location and release the mouse button.

To make a complete 3 Click swing:

1. Left-click over the golfer or in the Swing Meter or press to begin

the backswing. As the green Power Arc rises, your swing gains power.

2. To end the backswing and begin the downswing, left-click in the Swing

Meter or press again. The green Power Arc starts to drop and gain speed.

3. To strike the ball, left-click in the Swing Meter or press a third

time. You want to strike the ball so that the Power Arc stops at the Contact Line at the bottom of the Swing Meter.

EA TIP:

When you use overswing, the Swing Meter moves faster, which increases your power and the effects of any deviation from the Contact Line.

222288

Page 31

FADES AND DRAWS

With the 3 Click swing, you can hit draws or fades.

➲

To hit a draw with the 3 Click swing, left-click the mouse before it reaches the Contact Line on the downswing.

➲

To hit a fade with the 3 Click swing, left-click the mouse after it reaches the Contact Line on the downswing.

EA TIP:

The distance to the left or right of the Contact Line where you press the mouse button affects the degree of fade or draw added to the ball. Practice this technique and use it sparingly. When going for a draw, you can turn it into a hook very easily. If possible, reposition the Aiming Arrow to go for a straight shot.

2 CLICK

For beginners, the 2 Click swing gives a good feel for the rhythm of a golf swing. It works like the 3 Click swing, except that you click once to begin the Swing Meter and click again to set the power on your shot. The swing automatically finishes with 100% accuracy.

✧

Only available on Amateur ability level, this swing type does not allow draws or fades. The ball always carries in the general direction in which you are aimed.

EA TIP:

Some advanced players use the 2 Click method to play

practice rounds to familiarize themselves with a new course.

PLANNING YOUR SHOT

To compete with the best in golf, you must pay attention to your lie and the hazards around it. Don’t forget the weather; a gust of wind can carry the perfect iron far off course. Learn to play the course, or it will toy with you.

CHECK THE CONDITIONS

Wind, distance, and lie: the three key factors in shot selection are available at a glance.

WIND

Clubs with higher loft are more affected by the wind. A good strong wind can ruin a great drive, too.

DISTANCE

Choose a club whose distance rating is just above the mark to your target. You don’t want to overswing unless you’ve got a big margin of error. Most championship courses aren’t so forgiving. Club up to cut your loft and make a lighter swing. For example, instead of swinging a full five-iron, you can swing a soft four-iron.

➲

To see the average distance possible for the selected club, move the mouse over the club indicator. The average distance does not factor in wind conditions.

LIE

Check the Lie Indicator before you swing.

A bad lie can worsen mistakes. You may want to try a safe shot back onto the fairway before you go for it.

✧

The lie display appears in the lower-right corner of the screen.

RELATIVE POSITION

Where does the elevation of your ball compare with that of the hole? Look at the In-game Taskbar to read your ball’s position relative to the hole. If you’re below the hole, you may have to lift the ball more, which may require that you club down and swing harder to generate a higher, softer shot. If you’re above it, watch the roll of the ball.

USE THE RIGHT CLUB

When choosing your club, be aware that longer shots have a greater error margin in terms of physical distance, while shorter shots with higher irons are more likely to be moved off-course. When possible, find a club that can get you to your target without overswing.

✧

The average distance for the selected club is displayed when you move the mouse over the club indicator, except for the putter. The maximum distance for the putter is always fixed.

EA TIP:

The distance potential of a club does not take into account the wind, fairway conditions or lie of the ball.

To select a new club:

1. Click the indicator of the current club. Your Golf Bag shows the woods,

irons, wedges, and the putter in your bag.

2. Click the desired club. The Golf Bag closes.

➲

To close the Golf Bag without selecting a club, click outside of it.

TARGETING

Aiming your shot becomes a matter of practice with your clubs and familiarity with the landing zones of the course. As you line up a shot, you should have a pretty good idea of how hard you want to swing and the distance that you’re likely to achieve with that swing.

✧

Remember to factor the wind and the roll of the ball into your estimates.

EA TIP:

To get the feel for a course, you might play a practice round with the 2 Click swing. It’s a great way to measure distances with your clubs.

Click any club to select it

You can use the Aiming Arrow to rotate the position of the golfer around the ball, effectively aiming your shot in a different direction. Beware of hazards that you may have to hit over or around based on your new aim.

➲

To redirect the Aiming Arrow of your golfer, press jor l. Or, left-click the end of the arrow and move left or right to rotate the aiming line for the golfer.

WEIGH THE RISKS

A well-designed course carefully balances the risks and the rewards for the golfer. When you are taking a shot within the normal flow of a round, it’s likely that the designer has set up a decision for you to make based on risk and reward.

EA TIP:

Careful golfers use the Hole Overhead view to plan shots. Left-click and drag in the Hole Overhead for real-time distance measurements and camera movements.

When sizing up a shot, it’s important to consider the margin for error that the designer has left for you. If you are aiming for the green, do you have enough distance in your current club? If not, you may want to move up a club to ensure that distance. But with more club, the ball may bounce and roll further, so you need to examine what is at the back and to the sides of the landing zone.

There are no rules of thumb except one: every shot is different.

333355

Page 38

PUNCH A low-flying shot from under the trees, a punch is

a useful way to get out of the rough stuff and to keep the ball out of the wind.

FLOP A soft lob with little roll that is typically executed

using a lob wedge, which is very useful for getting out of a greenside bunker without rolling off the far side of the green.

PUTT Selects the putter. For shots on the fringe (the

stripe of longer grass around the green), it’s sometimes useful to hit with the putter for better control of the roll on the green.

SAND When you land in the sand, you can vary your

shot from Blast to Pick. Blasts grab more sand, travel less and are best suited for greenside bunkers. Picks should be used from fairway bunkers where a longer flight is desired.

TRAJECTORY ADJUSTMENTS

➲

After you have selected your basic shot, you can use the slider bar in the toolbar to make adjustments to the trajectory of the shot. To decrease the loft of your shot, move the slider towards the Back position.

➲

To increase the loft of your shot, move the slider towards the Forward position.

✧

With lofted clubs like the high irons and wedges, moving the ball forward also adds backspin, which can limit the amount of forward roll after the ball lands. For a Sand shot, the slider adjusts the distance that you strike behind the ball and the resulting distance of flight.

333366

Move the slider to this end to make the shot more like a bump-and-run shot

Page 39

EXECUTING SHOTS

To hit quality shots, practice your swing over and over, until you can make shots with all clubs on a consistent basis.

USING TRUESWING™

TrueSwing delivers the most realistic feeling of swinging a golf club on the computer.

When using TrueSwing, think of the mouse as a golf club. The face of the club represents the side of the mouse with the cord. If the cord side is the face of the club, then executing a swing simply requires that you pull the club face straight back and then push it forward through the point at which you began the swing.

➲

To interrupt a TrueSwing, press s.

➲

To toggle display of the TrueSwing Analyzer, press T.

The velocity and pace at which you execute the backswing, downswing and follow-through determine the power on the shot. Deviations to the left or right in your mouse movements add spin to the ball, creating draws and fades. In severe cases, deviations can cause hooks, slices and even complete misses. Extreme deviations can cause hooks and slices, as needed.

EA TIP:

The results of a TrueSwing depend on how well your swing matches the type of club that you are using. You should spend time experimenting with the different club types to find the one that best matches your natural swing.

To execute a swing:

1. Move the mouse over the ball or move it towards the top of the screen to a

spot where the pointer is above the club head and level with the golfer’s hands. Make sure that the swing pointer is still displayed on-screen.

2. When you are ready to swing, click the left mouse button.

3. In a smooth motion, draw the

mouse straight down to execute the backswing. Pulling the mouse further down increases the backswing and adds power to the stroke. For a wellexecuted TrueSwing, a three-quarters backswing should result in a flight that’s three-quarters of the distance listed for the club.

✧

It’s very important to return the mouse to its starting position. If you don’t return to that point, you might hit off-center, lose power or even hit the ball off the toe or heel, which can very bad shots on higher ability levels.

4. When you have reached the top of

the backswing, move the mouse upward until the golf club passes through the ball, and it begins flight.

NOTE:

When executing your backswing and downswing with TrueSwing, it is important to move the mouse straight up and down. Movements to the left or right add hook or slice to the ball, depending on which is the dominant hand of the golfer.

The swing is divided into three parts: backswing, downswing, and contact.

BACKSWING

As in regular golf, it is important to maintain pace and even movement during the backswing. Jerky movements create error in the flight path of the ball, and slowness in the backswing can cause errors in the tempo of your swing.

NOTE:

Be careful when you pull back. If you pull back too far, you can overswing the club, which can cause a much greater error in a miss-hit. For more information, ➣The TrueSwing Analyzer on p. 42.

DOWNSWING

As the clubs climbs on the backswing, you are adding distance to your shot. When the club has reached a satisfactory point, begin the downswing by moving the mouse forward through the point at which you began the mouse movement.

Move the mouse in a straight line as much as possible. Deviations left or right in the downswing cause deviations in the flight of the ball.

EA TIP:

To practice TrueSwing, you can use your mouse pad as a straight-line guide. Positioning the mouse and its pad at an angle may help you to more naturally produce straight-line motions. Either draw a vertical line in pencil on the mouse pad, or you can run the mouse along the straight edge of the pad with one of your fingers as a guide. However, you can’t use this technique for hitting fades and draws, which are possible on higher ability levels.

FADES AND DRAWS WITH TRUESWING™

When you have a handle on the basic mechanics of TrueSwing, you can begin to experiment with adding fade and draw to your shot. If you get daring, you can even try to perfect intentional hooks and slices on TOUR and Championship ability levels.

333399

Page 42

Look at your mouse and envision two perpendicular lines intersecting at the center of the mouse. The vertical one indicates the path that you move the mouse to execute a straight TrueSwing. The horizontal one indicates the club face.

✧

Assume that you are playing with a right-handed golfer using the TrueSwing (V) swing type.

➲

To add fade to your shot for a right-handed golfer, pull the mouse down and to the right of the vertical line. When you follow through, finish to the left of the perpendicular line. This diagonal movement of the mouse forces the ball to fade to the right for a right-handed golfer. To execute a good fade, the mouse must return to the point at which you began the swing.

➲

To add draw to your shot for a right-handed golfer, pull the mouse down and to the left of the vertical line. When you follow through, finish to the right of the perpendicular line. This diagonal movement of the mouse forces the ball to fade to the left for a right-handed golfer. To execute a good draw, the mouse must return to the point at which you began the swing.

➲

To hook or slice, increase the angle of the diagonal. A hook is a more extreme draw, and a slice is a more extreme fade.

For left-handed golfers in the game, reverse the direction of the diagonal movements. For example, a lefty adds draw by pulling down to the right of the vertical line.

✧

On TOUR and Championship ability levels, the control and effect of fades and draws is much more pronounced.

HEEL AND TOE SHOTS: MIS-HITS

It is very important to return the mouse to the position at which you began the swing at the moment when you hit the ball. Failure to do so can result in heel shots, which strike the ball near the shaft, and toe shots, which strike the ball at the end furthest from the shaft. Combined with other errors in your swing, you can generate horrible shots if you are not attentive to finishing properly.

PUTTING WITH TRUESWING™

When you use TrueSwing, the distance traveled with the putter depends directly on the amount of backswing and the speed of the club as it impacts the ball.

A deviation to the left of the starting mouse point is equivalent to rotating the putter to the left. This rotation starts the putt to the left of the Aiming Arrow. Deviations to the right of the starting mouse point apply rotations and aim adjustments in the other direction.

EA TIP:

On the green, the ball may move off of the center line because of the break of the green. When putting, turn on the green grid (press Gto toggle) and aiming the putt with the Aiming Arrow. Consistent putting requires plenty of practice.

SKILLS COMPETITION

New for Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 2002, the Skills Competition tests your ability to make tough shots under pressure situations. In the Skills Competition, you compete in the following nine categories at various locations on the selected course. In each category, competitors attempt to get closest to the hole or furthest from the tee.

✧

Each player gets three attempts at each skill shot. A player’s score is his best shot of the three balls.

The outright winner of each skill competition receives 1/9 of the prize money, with the overall winner taking the remainder of the pot.

✧

You can set the total purse under the Advanced tab.

DRIVE It’s not just the longest drive that wins. You must

drive long and straight and end up on the fairway to qualify.

PUTT It’s only 25 feet, but it may cross two breaks, skirt

a vicious downhill roll and maybe climb six feet. Good luck.

MIDDLE IRON From 150 yards out, you knock a ball as close as

you can to the pin.

SHORT IRON From 60 yards, pitch the ball at the pin. The closest

to the pin wins.

TROUBLE SHOT Here’s where men make their money. Trouble

shots start from tricky spots, like behind a rock, under a tree or in the deep stuff. Get it to within 5 feet, and you’re looking good.

GREENSIDE BUNKER It may be a shot from the sand, but it’s never a

blast. Bunker shots can be very difficult to control, especially if there’s a long roll across the green to the cup.

555500

Page 53

FAIRWAY BUNKER Stuck in a bunker 115 yards away,

you have to cut loose a mighty swing just to hit the green. Getting close to the pin is another matter.

CHIP From 15 yards, do you chip, flop or bump and run? PITCH OVER HAZARD If you’ve landed on the wrong side of a bunker or

pond, you know the challenge of getting your ball back to the green.

SHOOT-OUT

In a Shoot-Out, - up to 8 shoot through holes of golf. A starting hole is randomly chosen from the course, and you play the next holes in sequence. At each hole, the player with the worst score is eliminated, with remaining players continuing to the next hole. The players continue and are eliminated until the final hole where only two players are left to duke it out.

TIE-BREAKER

If two or more players tie, a tie-breaker of a single chip shot is played. The ball is placed in a position near the green, where each player must hit an approach shot at the hole. The player furthest from the hole is eliminated. If players are still tied, then tie-breakers are played until only one player is left.

STABLEFORD

The Stableford scoring system speeds up play yet allows trailing players to get back into the competition with a few brilliant strokes. On each hole, points can be awarded based on the stroke index (par) of the hole.

The player’s score on the hole is based on the following scoring system: -1 pt. for bogey, 0 pts. for par, 2 pts. for birdie, 5 pts. for eagle and 8 whopping pts. for a double eagle. If a player reaches bogey without completing the hole, he can pick up his ball and move to the next hole, scoring a -1 on the current one. For a double bogey or worse, a player scores –3.

The player with the highest point total at the end of the round is the winner.

ALTERNATE SHOT

In Alternate Shot, two teams of two players tee up on Hole 1. The player who does not hit the tee shot hits the second shot. Players alternate until the hole is finished. The team with the lowest total score for the hole wins 1 point. No points are awarded for ties. On the second hole, the player who did not tee off on Hole 1 begins.

The winner of the match is the team with the highest total, the most holes won.

555511

Page 54

GREENSOME

New for Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 2002, the Greensome format pits two teams of two players each in a round of golf. Both players on each team tee off, and each team then selects one ball with which to continue play. The player who did not hit the ball from the tee makes the second shot. Players alternate shots until the ball is in the hole.

The lowest team score for the hole wins 1 point. The highest point total wins the round. No points are awarded for ties.

BLOODSOME

Like Greensome, Bloodsome is also new for Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 2002. The rules are identical to best ball Greensome, except that the opposing team chooses the ball to be played for a team’s second shot. No points are awarded for ties on a hole.

SCRAMBLE (TWO- OR FOUR-PLAYER)

In Scrambles, each player on a team begins from the tee. From whichever tee shot is better, both players take shot #2. Play continues in this manner for both teams until the two teams finish the hole. The team that has the lowest stroke total for the round wins the match.

✧

Scrambles can be played with two or four players on each team.

FOUR BALL STROKE

In Four Ball Stroke play, two teams of two compete in a stroke match in which each team’s score on a hole is the lowest of the two players.

FOUR BALL MATCH

In Four Ball Match play, two teams of two players are pitted against each other in match play golf. Like regular match play, the player with the lowest number of strokes scores 1 point for winning the hole. In the event of a tie, no points are awarded.

In a Four Ball Match, the winner of a point for the hole is the team with the player who records the lowest score.

Handicaps are factored based on the lowest handicap among the four players. If player A has a 6 handicap and is the lowest, then player B with an 8 handicap receives a 2 handicap for purposes of the Four Ball Match.

FOUR BALL STABLEFORD

Four Ball Stableford golf follows the Stableford scoring system for two teams of two players. A team’s score for a hole is the highest stroke total among team members.

TIGER WOODS

Five victories including a major, completing the awesome

“Tiger Slam,” and more than $4 million in earnings—this is

a down year? It is, if your name is Eldrick “Tiger” Woods.

Such were the expectations placed on the 2001 season of

the world’s greatest golfer. In his first four years on the

TOUR, Tiger Woods had already exceeded the entire careers of all but the best golfers of all-time. After an amateur career that ranked among the best ever, Tiger stormed onto the PGA TOUR in 1996 and ended the season as its Rookie of the Year. Within a year, he captured the Masters by posting a total of 270 in winning by 12 strokes, a tournament record, and thereby became the youngest Masters Champion at 21 years, 3 months and 14 days. The rest of 1997 continued to see results from the most-watched player on TOUR, as Tiger posted victories in three other tournaments and ended up PGA TOUR Player of the Year. Tiger had one of the best seasons ever in 1999 by winning a staggering eight tournaments, including a victory at the PGA Championship. He finished the year at the top of the PGA TOUR money list at $6,936,825 and captured another PGA TOUR Player of the Year trophy.

And then Tiger raised his game another notch. The 2000 season began with Tiger taking his fifth and six straight tournaments at the Mercedes Championships and the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. In his 16 subsequent starts, he has racked up seven more wins, including three consecutive major championships at the U.S. Open, the British Open and PGA Championship. End of the year, same result: Tiger captured another PGA TOUR Player of the Year trophy.

As Tiger’s 2001 season unfolded, many were calling it a disappointment when he hadn’t won a tournament in the first two months. Tiger, however, continued his normal practice routines and felt confident with his stroke. His perseverance paid off when, starting at the Bay Hill Invitational in March, Tiger rattled off three straight PGA TOUR victories and four in five events. Tiger’s victory at the Masters in April completed the greatest feat in golf history: winning the “Tiger Slam” of all four majors consecutively. For any other golfer, it might be the highlight of a career. As Vijay Singh, the winner of the previous Masters, helped him to slip into his second green jacket, Tiger merely said, “I’ve succeeded in what I wanted to accomplish.”

It’s more than any other golfer in history can claim. In only 17 starts at majors, Tiger has won six of them and has captured 29 PGA TOUR tournaments

overall. Tiger has reached the stratosphere of the greatest sports stars ever. He is believed to have amassed a fortune of over $150 million.

Where does Tiger go from here? The wave of golf’s popularity continues to rise behind the phenomenon that is Tiger Woods. He is expected to win every tournament that he enters yet manages to be gracious even when he does not. If the pressure gets to him, he doesn’t show it. Out in front of enormous galleries on the greens and fairways of the PGA TOUR, Tiger manages to retain his remarkable focus through round after round. Where does Tiger go now? To the next round and, it’s likely, to yet another victory.

Tiger shares his good fortune with others through the Tiger Woods Foundation, which seeks to promote minority participation in golf.

STUART APPLEBY

Stuart Appleby continues the tradition of Australian golfers on

the PGA TOUR. After a fast start in Australian professional

golf, Stuart made an immediate splash when he reached the PGA TOUR in 1997 by taking the Honda Classic early in

the season, en route to becoming the first Q-School graduate

to earn $1 million on his first year on the TOUR. That victory

stand was a long way from home where, growing up on a dairy farm, he honed his game after chores by hitting balls from paddock to paddock. In 1998, Stuart captured the Kemper Open with a 10-under 274, which included a second round of 63 that helped to distance him from the field.

In the final round at the 1998 Shell Houston Open, Stuart shot a 1-under 71 to edge Hal Sutton by a single stroke to take the win. Year 2000 started very promising for Stuart with a second-place finish at the Sony Open in Hawaii in January. Stuart again broke the top-10 with a third at The International in August, and two weeks later he tied for fourth at the PGA Championship.

Stuart’s 2001 season began favorably, with a tie for ninth at the WGCAccenture Match Play Championship and another strong finish at the Honda Classic in March. In June, he managed a seventh at the Memorial, followed by three more top-20 finishes. After the 2001 PGA TOUR concluded, Stuart captured his first Australian Open with a three-stroke victory over Scott Laycock. A long and accurate driver, Stuart is near the top of the PGA TOUR rankings in birdie conversion. When he gets to the green, he usually gets it done.

Stuart has represented his country on a number of national teams. Back home in Australia, the Renay Appleby Memorial Trophy, named in honor of his late wife, is awarded to the best female junior golfer in New South Wales. Stuart has earned nearly $6 million in his career.

NOTAH BEGAY III

A member of Stanford’s 1994 NCAA Championship team and

a college teammate of Tiger Woods, Begay recorded the

lowest 18-hole score in NCAA Championship competition with a 62 in the second round of the 1994 event, en route

to garnering his third All-America selection.

Turning pro in 1995, Notah returned to the headlines with his strong play on the BUY.COM tour. Four second-place finishes on the 1998 tour landed him in the top 10 money winners and a PGA TOUR exemption for the 1999 season. He made the most of his opportunity, as he recorded two TOUR victories in his inaugural season. His first win came at the Reno-Tahoe Open where his third-round 63 set a course record and put him in the lead for good. His victory was the first for a Native American on the TOUR since Rod Curl won the 1974 Colonial. To become the seventh multiple winner of the 1999 season, Notah captured the Michelob Championship at Kingsmill late in the year. On the final two holes, he recorded birdies to finish with a final round of 68, forced a playoff and defeated Tom Byrum by recording a par on the second extra hole.

At age 6, Notah began tagging along when his father played in local tournaments. Later, he would save spare change for buckets of balls and asked the local head pro if he could work at the club in exchange for playing privileges. Half Navajo, one-quarter San Felipe and one quarter Isleta, Notah is the most successful Native American golfer with four PGA TOUR victories. He takes seriously his position as a role model for other Native Americans.

Sometimes, Notah’s brother Clint caddies for him. Notah can putt left- or righthanded, depending on the break of the green.

MARK CALCAVECCHIA

Mark won his first tournament on the PGA TOUR at the 1986

Southwest Golf Classic and has notched solid finishes to this

day, including a major victory at the 1989 British Open. From 1986 to 1998, he finished each year in the top 50 in

money and, in 1999, climbed into the top 10 on the all-time

money list.

Over his fifteen-year PGA TOUR career, Mark has won ten TOUR events, including the 2001 Phoenix Open, a tournament that he also won in 1989 and 1992. For his third victory in Phoenix, Mark set a PGA TOUR scoring record of 256 for a 72-hole competition and earned himself $720,000. The rest of 2001 proved to be a fine year for Mark. At the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic in February, Mark’s –30 weekend was good for third behind Joe Durant’s TOUR record –36

777700

Page 73

for a 90-hole event. Going into the final round of the 2001 Honda Classic in March, Mark was three back off of Jesper Parnevik but could not close the distance with a final round score of 70. His three-way tie for second was more impressive considering he had had knee surgery two weeks before. He also tallied two fourths at the Masters and the PGA Championship.

Prior to the final round of the 1998 Honda Classic, Mark suffered a cut to his finger, sealed it with Super Glue, and then banged out a 7-under 65 to win his ninth PGA TOUR title. After winning the 1998 Honda Classic at TPC at Heron Bay, Mark rattled off three top-5 finishes in a row.

Mark makes his off-season home in West Palm Beach, Florida, which is within driving distance of the TPC at Heron Bay.

STEWART CINK

Stewart capped a brilliant collegiate career with a third All-

America selection and the 1995 Dave Williams, Fred Haskins

and Jack Nicklaus Awards as the country’s top collegiate

golfer. In 1996, he won three times on the NIKE TOUR to

take Player of the Year honors.

In 1997, he hit the PGA TOUR and hit it hard. Going into the final round of the Canon Greater Hartford Open, Stewart was in fifth place, four off of Jeff Maggert’s pace. He closed with a 66 to win by one stroke over Maggert, Brandel Chamblee and Tom Byrum. At the end of the year, he became the first golfer to be named NIKE TOUR Player of the Year and PGA TOUR Rookie of the Year in successive seasons. Not bad for a 25 year-old.

In the subsequent seasons, Stewart has established his name as a regular on the Sunday leaderboard. Stewart captured the 2000 MCI Classic and a tie for second at the Mastercard Colonial later in the year. In 2001, Stewart got very hot in June. At the Memorial, he tallied a fourth, behind Tiger Woods whose final round 66 secured his third consecutive Memorial victory. Two weeks later, Stewart missed going to the playoffs of the US Open Championship by a single stroke, settling for a worthy third. At the Buick Classic at the end of the month, Stewart registered an opening round 65 and held on to tie for third behind Sergio Garcia’s 16-under weekend, a Buick Classic record. With such strong and consistent play over five years on the TOUR, Stewart has already moved into the top 50 in all-time money earnings.

A married father while still in college, Stewart, his wife Lisa and two children (Connor and Reagan) make their home in Duluth, Georgia. His parents, who taught him to golf, are both still avid golfers.

BRAD FAXON

One of the best putters in the game, Brad has worked on his

long game since his All-America days at Furman University.

Winner of the 1983 Fred Haskins, GOLF Magazine, and NCAA Coaches Awards as the outstanding collegiate golfer,

Brad stepped onto the TOUR and has been a steady earner

ever since.

His first victory came in 1986 at the Provident Classic. Since then, Brad has won the BC Open twice, in 1999 and 2000, when his 18-under-par 270 nipped Esteban Toledo by a single stroke. Even when his drivers and irons had deserted him, his outstanding putting saved the day, and he became the first player to repeat as champion of the BC Open. Brad’s best round of the 2001 year came when he shot a 64 on the opening day of the Sony Open in Honolulu. In Round 2, he shot another 64 and then closed the weekend with a final round 65 that included an eagle on the final hole. His four eagles over the weekend helped to push him into 2nd place in the yearly TOUR rankings for eagles. After Sunday’s round, Brad said, “I hope this is the start of a great year.”

He got his wish. Brad recorded five more top 10 finishes in 2001, including a tie for fourth at the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic the following month and a tie for sixth at the Buick Classic in June. His year ended in November with a victory at the Franklin Templeton Shootout where he and teammate Scott McCarron took home $225,000 each in Christmas money. At the conclusion of the Shootout, Brad noted, “It feels fantastic. I can’t think of a better way to end the year.”

He and fellow Rhode Islander Billy Andrade support children’s charities in their home state and southeastern Massachusetts through the Billy Andrade/Brad Faxon Charities for Children, which has raised $1.65 million since its inception in 1991.

LEE JANZEN

A two-time winner of the U.S. Open, Lee has established him-

self in the upper tier of golfers on the TOUR. His 1998 victory

at The Olympic Club in San Francisco was the best finalround comeback in 25 years. Down five strokes at the end

of Saturday, Lee posted a 68 on Sunday to beat the late

Payne Stewart by a single stroke. For his major victory, Lee has earned an exemption until 2003, which means he’ll be on the TOUR for some time to come.

777722

Page 75

Since his amazing comeback, Lee continues to post regular top20 finishes. Although he did not raise a trophy in 2001, he did notch a tie for second at the Shell Houston Open in April, thanks to his opening rounds of 67 and 68 on a challenging course. Nine top 25 finishes in 2001 pushed his career earnings over the $9 million mark.

Capable with shorter clubs, Lee can rack up the birdies on the par 3s and par 4s. Lee didn’t begin to play competitive golf until his family moved to Florida when he was 14. At 15, he won his first tournament. He has participated in two Ryder Cups in 1993 and 1997, as well as the Presidents Cup in 1998.

JUSTIN LEONARD

Since turning professional in 1994, Justin has kept his game

away from the kinds of detours that can ruin a season. In

1996, he took the Buick Open. In 1997, he won his first of what many predict will be several majors. At the British

Open, he shot a final-round 65, the only sub-70 score for a

player who started the day below par, to make up five

strokes on Jesper Parnevik. At 25, he became the youngest British

Open Champion since Seve Ballesteros won in 1979 at the age of 22.

Such perseverance for this young British Open champion is bound to pay off, as Justin is expected to be among the top golfers on TOUR for a long time. In 1998, he pulled off another miraculous comeback at the Players Championship with a five-under-par 67 on Sunday for a two-stroke victory worth $720,000. In 2000 and 2001, Justin captured the Texas Open at La Cantera, beating PGA TOUR rookies J.J. Henry and Matt Kuchar by two strokes. The Dallas native’s 18-under 266 delivered his sixth PGA TOUR victory.

Round after round, Justin has demonstrated his mastery of the green. He knocked down perhaps the greatest putt in Ryder Cup history when his 45-footer for birdie secured the winning half point for the 1999 U.S. team. After that one, five-footers are nothing. Justin’s family actively participates in his business affairs and golfing career.

COLIN MONTGOMERIE

One of the greatest golfers on the PGA European Tour, Colin

Montgomerie brings his excellent all-around game to the

States for selected events on the PGA TOUR.

Consistently among the leaders on Sunday in Europe, Colin

recorded two wins in 2001. At the Murphy’s Irish Open, a

final round of 66 captured a five-stroke victory for him over Darren Clarke, Padraig Harrington and Niclas Fasth. His course record 63 in the opening round was matched by Fasth in the final round, but Montgomerie maintained a steady hand to hold off the charging Swede. His win put him into the elite company of Seve Ballesteros, Nick Faldo and Bernhard Langer as the only three-time winners of the Murphy’s event. In August, he captured another tourney for the third time: the Volvo Scandinavian Masters. Excellent putting kept him in contention all weekend, and defending champion Lee Westwood and fellow Englishman Ian Poulter could not close on the final holes.

The victory marked his 26th on the European Tour. His remarkable career includes claiming seven times the Volvo Order of Merit, which is awarded to the top money winner on the European Tour at season’s end.

JESPER PARNEVIK

Born in Sweden, Jesper now makes his home in Jupiter,

Florida. In each of the past four years, he has captured at

least one victory.

His first PGA TOUR win came at the 1998 Phoenix Open,

where he became the second Swede to capture a PGA

crown with a three-stroke victory over Tommy Armour III, Steve Pate, Brent Geiberger and Tom Watson. He followed up his win at Phoenix with victories at the 1999 Greater Greensboro Chrysler Classic, the 2000 Bob Hope Chrysler Classic, and the 2000 GTE Byron Nelson Classic before this season.

In March 2001, Jesper showed his mettle on the final back 9 at the Honda Classic. Taking a three-stroke lead into the final round, Jesper had lost it by Hole 11, where he stood one stroke back of Geoff Ogilvy. After scoring a birdie on the par 3 eleventh while Ogilvy bogeyed, Jesper managed to hold off Ogilvy, Mark Calcavecchia and Craig Perks by a stroke over the remaining seven holes. The victory marked his fifth on the PGA TOUR.

Prior to arriving in the US, Jesper was a star on the European Tour where he recorded nine victories, his last being the 1998 Scandinavian Masters. He has represented European in the Ryder Cup twice. He improved on his 1997 Ryder Cup record of 1-1-2 with a 3-1-1 record for the 1999 European team.

Jesper’s father Bo is a famous comedian in Sweden. Jesper began playing the game by hitting floating golf balls into the lake behind the family home.

VIJAY SINGH

In Hindi, his first name means “victory”, and since his arrival

on the PGA TOUR in 1993, Vijay Singh has lived up to his

billing. In his first season on the TOUR, Vijay showed his will to win and turned heads at the 1993 PGA

Championship where his second-round 63 tied a TOUR

record for lowest round at a major. Although he finished

fourth in that tournament, he did capture his first victory on TOUR at the 1993 Buick Classic in a playoff over Mark Wiebe. Vijay has continued to excel in playoffs, as evidenced by his 4-1 playoff record.

In 1994, Vijay was hampered by injuries, yet he stormed back to win twice in 1995, including another victory at the Buick Classic. Vijay steadily delivered tournament victories—1997 Memorial Tournament, 1997 Buick Open, 1998 PGA Championship, 1998 Sprint International and the 1999 Honda Classic—until he recorded his first major at the 2000 Masters. To get his first green jacket, Vijay closed with rounds of 67-70-69 to beat Ernie Els by three strokes. Walking up to the eighteenth green, knowing that he needed only two putts to win the Masters, he called it, “the greatest feeling I’ve had for a long, long time.”

In the 26 events that he entered 2001, Vijay recorded 14 top10 finishes, including seconds at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am and THE PLAYERS Championship. At Pebble Beach, Davis Love III needed a final round 63, a record score, to make up seven shots and nip Vijay and by a single stroke. Vijay encountered another golfer on a hot streak at THE PLAYERS Championship, as Tiger Woods needed a five-under par 67 to keep off Vijay, who went eagle-birdie-birdie-par over the final four holes. Such consistent play in the face of stiff competition has rewarded him well, as he is ranked fourth on the 2001 money list with over $3.5 million.

Vijay is Fiji’s only world-class golfer and has taken his game around the world. Victories in Malaysia, France, Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Morocco, Zimbabwe, Spain, Germany, England, South Africa, Sweden, Taiwan and U.S. have solidified his reputation as one of the greats in the game.

STEVE STRICKER

After an All-America career at the University of Illinois, Steve

arrived on the PGA TOUR in 1994 and two years later cap-

tured his first title. At the 1996 Kemper Open, a 65 on Saturday moved him near the top of the pack, and a 68 on

Sunday put it three strokes behind him. As if to prove his

victory was no fluke, Steve captured the Motorola Western Open with an eight-stroke victory. With five other Top 10 finishes in 1996, Steve had an outstanding year.

In 1998, he took time off to be with his wife and caddie, Nicki, as she gave birth to the couple’s first child. Playing a reduced schedule of 21 events that year, he nevertheless managed to make 20 cuts. After the due date of his child, he played in four more events, finishing in the top 10 in all of them. That is some concentration.

In 2001, Steve struck gold again at the WGC Accenture Match Play Championship in Melbourne, Australia. Seeded 55th in the 64-man field, Stricker scrambled well and was exceptional with his putter in match after match before beating Pierre Fulke of Sweden 2&1 in the sixth and final one. The victory netted him an even $1 million for a week’s work. Steve’s good putting stayed with him the entire season, as he ended up ranked 3rd statistically in putts per round on the TOUR.

It’s all in the family: Steve’s father-in-law, Dennis Tiziani, the golf coach at University of Wisconsin, is his teacher. His brother-in-law, Mario Tiziani, has played in several PGA TOUR events.

Tim Scott likes a good challenge. After a career as an elite track and field athlete and professional football player, Tim brought his will to compete to the world of computer golf. Since 1997, Tim has been an avid member of the EA SPORTS Golf community and has earned a number of distinctions for it, including the $10,000 first prize at the 1999 EA SPORTS Internet Tour. When he’s not winning championships, Tim is generous with his time and energy for online players, designers and the EA SPORTS Production team. Tim has authored a number of articles and commentaries on Tiger Woods PGA TOUR golf games, including this tutorial on the newest feature in the game.

In Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 2002, TrueSwing delivers the feel and touch of a real golf swing utilizing the mouse. This incredibly realistic swing interface gives you complete and total control over the performance of your on-screen golfer. As the mouse moves, your on-screen golfer moves. You can also produce swings such as draws and fades (and even hooks and slices) by changing the path in which you move the mouse. If you make a mistake in movement, you may produce heel shots, toe shots, shanks and mis-hits. Just like real golf.

What makes TrueSwing so realistic is how you make the Golfer move. All of the elements that make a real golf swing successful also apply to making a good TrueSwing. There are two types of TrueSwing to choose from: the vertical swing and the horizontal swing.

➲

To enable TrueSwing, select TRUE SWING (V) or TRUE SWING (H) for the Swing Type in the Select a Golfer screen.

✧

The tutorial assumes the vertical swing is in use. For horizontal swing, directions listed here as “forward” and “back” are “left” and “right”. For this tutorial, we assume that the difficulty setting in Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 2002 is Pro level.

For the vertical TrueSwing, think of your mouse as your “club.” The “face” of the club is the front of the mouse where the cord protrudes. The club velocity is the speed at which you move the mouse. When the face of the club strikes the ball with any kind of left-to-right or right-to-left motion, you impart spin on the ball. Therefore, it is crucial to move the mouse in a straight line to hit the ball in a straight line. Consistency in these motions produces a powerful and repeatable swing!

EA TIP:

As in real golf, a fast swing alone won’t produce good results. A good shot requires swing speed and control of the tempo of the swing.

THE TRUESWIN

PRACTICE RANGE

Hitting with TrueSwing takes practice and patience. When you first start using TrueSwing, head to the Driving Range, Chipping Area and Putting Green to get your work in. With practice, your TrueSwing can put you at the top of the leaderboard against Tiger and his fellow PGA TOUR pros.

When at the Practice area, spend some time getting used to the motions the Golfer makes when moving your mouse. Also get familiar with the user interface and most of all; be sure to have Mulligans set to unlimited! This will give you ample opportunity to get accustomed to TrueSwing and building the kind of swing you can be comfortable and consistent with.

➲

To go to the practice area, select PLAY GOLF from the Main menu. In the Select Game screen, click PRACTICE. Then, click the button next to Driving Range. Click NEXT. Select a golfer and a course to get to the range.

BREAKING DOWN TRUESWING™

Are you at the driving range and ready to swing? Good. Every TrueSwing consists of 3 basic parts:

STARTING THE SWING

➲

To start swinging, move the cursor over or near the golfer’s club. The cursor changes to the swing arrow. To start a TrueSwing, click the left mouse button.

BACKSWING

The ideal backswing is smooth and evenly paced.

➲

To begin moving the club on-screen, pull the mouse back as straight as possible until the golfer has completed the desired amount of backswing.

➲

To cancel the swing, press s.

✧

A bigger backswing results in longer shots, all other factors being equal.

THE DOWNSWING

The downswing is the most important part of the swing because it controls the power with which the golfer hits the ball. If the club is moving right-toleft or left-to-right when the club head meets the ball, spin is applied.

➲

To complete the swing, push the mouse forward and return it to the place on your mouse pad where you began your swing.

EA TIP:

Watch your on-screen golfer as you move the mouse. If you move the mouse forward with too much or too little speed, the on-screen golfer is likely to portray a poorly executed swing.

AFTER THE SHOT: THE TRUESWING™ ANALYZER

How do you obtain the proper tempo and speed on your swing? Practice your swing while the TrueSwing Analyzer is enabled.

The TrueSwing Analyzer is designed to give you instantaneous feedback on your swing path, speed, tempo and impact on the clubhead. On Tour and Championship difficulty levels, this tool lets you practice draws and fades that are necessary on those sharp doglegs. Think of the TrueSwing Analyzer your swing instructor who can swings like a PGA TOUR professional!

When you make contact with the ball during a TrueSwing, the TrueSwing Analyzer is instantly displayed. In the image above, you can see the results of a good shot that should give the golfer predictable results.

➲

To toggle display of the TrueSwing Analyzer during gameplay, press T. The TrueSwing must be enabled.

The TrueSwing Analyzer is designed to allow players to learn how to improve their swings by providing visual feedback on the quality of their swing.

On Amateur and Professional difficulty levels, two indicators provide feedback with which to learn about and improve your swing: Power and Tempo. To a lesser degree, Club Path and Impact can affect your swing. All four of these factors play an even greater role in determining your swing quality in Tour and Championship levels.

TRUESWING™ FACTORS

On Amateur and Professional level, TrueSwing consists of 2 crucial variables. The following variables are displayed in the TrueSwing Analyzer screen immediately following each swing.

POWER

The Power rating tells you your swing speed in relation to the ideal. A Power rating of 100% should produce roughly the distance for which the club is rated. For example, if you hit your D12 driver at 100% Power with no wind on a flat fairway in normal conditions, the ball should travel about 270 yards. If you hit D12 with 110% Power, you may reach 297 yards in the same conditions.

777799

TrueSwing Analyzer

Page 82

On tee shots and approach shots, the ideal swing speed is usually 100%. You can hit the ball with more speed if you like. If you want to hit the ball farther, push the mouse forward faster—but smoothly. The mouse speed causes the speed of the club head.

EA TIP:

You can also attempt shots with less than ideal swing speed. However, for more reliable shot results, it is recommended that you hit full shots with the proper club.

TEMPO

A good Tempo rating helps you achieve the perfect swing. Ideally, the downswing should be a smooth and accelerating movement all the way through impact with the ball.

EA TIP:

Avoid pushing the mouse forward in a jerky fashion, thereby ruining your tempo. A rushed downswing cuts the distance and accuracy of the shot, and delays at the top of the backswing may result in shot errors. You need to maintain a balanced swing tempo.

Utilizing the TrueSwing Analyzer helps you to determine the proper Tempo and timing to achieve consistent swing results.

EA TIP:

You can affect the ideal Tempo by changing your shaft flex in the Equipment tab under Golfer Settings. If you tend to swing fast, select stiffer shafts to avoid Tempo penalties.

FOR TOUR AND CHAMPIONSHIP DIFFICULTY LEVELS

On these difficulty settings, the following factors come into play:

CLUB PATH

Club Path tells you the path that your mouse followed to reach the ball. This information is crucial in learning to hit draws and fades, as well as maintaining straight drives!

888800

Page 83

When the club head strikes the ball with any kind of left-to-right or right-to-left motion, it imparts lateral spin on the ball, causing curvature in the ball’s flight. If the Club Path is not centered on the ball during impact, then the ball’s flight can be angled or mis-hits can occur.

EA TIP:

A shot that has an error of less than 5% rating for Club Path flies relatively straight. If you hit it over 20% off of the ideal Club Path, the shot could land in the deep stuff.

IMPACT

The Impact rating tells you where on the club head your swing made contact with the golf ball. This information is useful when attempting to shape shots. More on this subject later, when we explore draws and fades.

THE TRUESWING™ SHORT GAME

With TrueSwing, the chipping and bunker games work very much like the standard swings except for a couple of details.

When you are chipping out of the rough or blasting from a bunker, your onscreen golfer shows how each shot should be attempted. The golfer gets into an appropriate stance and swing for each type of shot. Proficiency in the short game takes a great deal of practice and touch around the greens. You can only achieve this touch by practicing in all kinds of rough and course conditions. If the TrueSwing Analyzer is enabled, you get direct feedback by matching the TrueSwing Analyzer results with the ball movement of each shot.

PUTTING

Putting is pretty straightforward. The distance the putt travels depends on the distance the backswing travels and the speed of the club head through impact with the ball. Large backswings produce greater momentum of the club head and greater ball travel.

➲

To hit a short putt, pull the club back slightly and swing.

On all difficulty levels, the putter does not impart any lateral spin on the ball. The clubhead path imparts the direction of the ball. Before swinging, you should carefully line up your putt according to the break of the green.

➲

To toggle display of the green grid, press G.

Touch, feel, and a great deal of practice make a consistent and repeatable putting stroke.

888811

Page 84

BALL POSITIONING

While you are practicing, use the Ball Position slider at the bottom of the screen, which is usually labeled with “Back” on the left and “Forward” on the right, to move the ball back or forward relative to your stance.

If you move the ball Back in your stance, you lower the trajectory of your shot. This kind of shot is effective in strong headwinds. Moving the ball Forward creates more loft on your club, thereby causing a higher trajectory with more backspin, which can reduce the forward roll of the ball. When hitting with a tailwind or trying to get over a hazard, move the ball Forward in your stance.

NOTE:

The labels for the ball positioning slider change depending on the type of shot. However, the effects on ball placement in the stance are consistent.

OTHER TRUESWING™ TIPS

✧

Practice your swing in the Practice areas, during Stroke play (with Mulligans enabled) and with the TrueSwing Analyzer enabled at all times.

Stay focused on the following:

✧

Visualize the shot prior to executing the shot.

✧

Speed of your swing

✧

Tempo of your swing

✧

Practice all the different types of shots to get a feel for their respective distances and shot trajectories.

For Tour and Championship level players:

✧

Path of your swing

✧

Ball/club Impact point

✧

Your onscreen animation

EA TIP:

Some mice have peculiar shapes that are to read for straight motion. If you are consistently slicing or hooking the ball, you may be rotating the mouse in your hand. To get a feel for a straight alignment, try drawing a vertical line on your mouse pad. As long as the cursor stays on the vertical line, the mouse is oriented correctly.

888822

Page 85

DRAW, FADES AND OTHER ADVENTURES

In the TrueSwing Analyzer, the red arrow over the club head shows you the path that the club actually traveled. If you can get the hang of TrueSwing and the TrueSwing Analyzer, you can find clever ways to address those treacherous doglegs and crooked holes.

IMPACT INDICATOR

The Impact indicator shows where the clubface made contact with the ball. Impacting left or right of center has a similar effect to errors in the Club Path rating. A shot that has an Impact 5-10% left or right flies relatively straight. An impact point 20% or more left or right hooks or slices depending on the direction. The severity of the Club Path and the amount of spin imparted on the ball are also factors.

DRAWS AND HOOKS

✧

These shots curve to the left from moderate (draws) to extreme (hooks) degrees.

➲

To create a draw or hook shot, pull the mouse back and to the left to complete the backswing. Then, move the mouse forward and to the right to finish your downswing and follow through. The mouse should pass through the location at which the swing started.

This motion imparts a right-to-left spin on the ball, and depending on the degree of spin, a draw or hook shot is the result. You can control the amount of draw or hook by adjusting the degree to the left of center you apply during the backswing.

EA TIP:

Be careful to finish the swing at the start position to

avoid shots off the toe or heel of the club.

FADES AND SLICES

These shots curve to the right from moderate (fades) to extreme (slices) degrees.

➲

To create a fade or slice shot, pull the mouse back and to the right to complete the backswing. Then, move the mouse forward and to the left to finish your downswing and follow through. The mouse should pass through the location at which the swing started.

TOE OR HEEL SHOTS

✧

These shots occur when the mouse is not returned to the start position, thus failing to center the clubface on the ball during impact. Toe shots hit on the club end furthest from the golfer, while heel shots strike near the shaft. Avoid making toe or heel shots.

The club starts out centered on the ball. As you begin your backswing, the mouse may move left or right of the centerline. If you fail to bring the club back to the exact starting position, you are likely to hit the ball with the toe or the heel of the club, which decreases the distance that the ball travels. The ball may depart at an angle to the left or right. If you slide the mouse severely to the left or right, you can miss the ball completely.

✧

Some terrain types are more likely to cause mis-hits. Toe and heel shots are more common in rough or sand if the club is not centered on the ball.

Those are the basics. TrueSwing may take some time to learn, but after you understand it, you begin to feel the results in your hand as you swing—which is a pretty neat thing to experience in computer golf.
