Callaway Big Bertha Red Balls

Advantages: Seem to go miles!
Disadvantages: None

...Being relatively new to the game of golf, I need as much help as possible in getting my ball to go further! My partner introduced me to Callaway (he is obsessed by the game and only Callaway stuff will do for him!!) As a lady golfer I have tried many of the golf balls designed specifically for lasies, and although I found these to be good, my partner eventually persuaded me to try Callaway. As some Callaway products can be pricey, I decided to go for the Big Bertha Balls (Red for distance) which seem to be a little more reasonable than some of the other Callaway Balls. Cost me £17.99 for a dozen. Although they weren't miracle makers, my distance has definitely improved - reckon they go a good 10 yards further which is a big thing for me! I will definitely continue to use this type of ball and would recomment it to others also!...

Callaway HX TOUR Black

Advantages: these babies fly!!!!!!!
Disadvantages: price!!

...I won a dozen off these Callaway HX Tour black balls in a competition and am in love !! I have always played with Titleist Pro V1's in the past and didn't think anything would be able to beat them. These Callaways balls go an absolute mile when spanked off the tee with your driver. I would say slightly further than the pro v1. They also have excellent spin control when struck with your short irons into the greens. I have never had so much backspin with a ball before. I find them very nice to putt with as well , a real soft feel coming off the putter face. The only real draw back with these is the price. I believe they are currently retailing for around £36 a dozen but i believe them to be worth it , especially in the summer. I have found them to have knocked around 2-3 shots off of my game per round , i play off a 12 handicap...

Review of Callaway HX Tour Black Golf Balls

For Golf Nuts Everywhere

Advantages: Superbly edited and written. Full of interesting features.
Disadvantages: Blasted throw away adverts.

...~ ~ It?ll come as no big surprise to my regular readers that the mad cabbie is a complete, total and utter golfing nut. I play the game as often as I possibly can, and when I?m not on the golf course one of my regular hangouts is my local driving range, where I can often be found happily pounding little white balls long into the dark winter nights. (It?s floodlit) When I?m not actually playing the game, then I?ll often be found either writing about it (here at Ciao and elsewhere) or else reading other people?s views about the sport. ~ ~ There are lots of excellent golf websites on the Web, which are firmly ensconced in my ?favourites? box, and which I read on a regular basis. But that said, nothing really beats a glossy magazine for a good read. And one of the best golfing mags on the UK and Ireland market is ?Golf World?, which...

FOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUR!!!!! Everybody for golf?

Advantages: Pick up and play style, highly addictive, fun
Disadvantages: very few, maybe too "cutsie" for some

...It has to be said that Everybody's Golf was the most suprising hit of all the PSP launch titles and in my humble opion it was by far the best. This game has probably been the one that I continally turn back to after the latest game has lost its initial shine (or i just get too stuck on GTA). Gamers of more mature years and gaming experience should not be put off my the cutsie graphics and "childish", almost nintendo style of game as this will appeal to everybody. tee off from the first Unsuprisingly this game, at least at its very core, has an awful lot in common with every single (probably) golf game ever made. The course starts with your character stood ready to tee off and. You simply select the correct club, press once to set the power bar and once again as near to the start bar as possible to make a clean connection. In...

Review of Everybody's Golf (PSP)

Everybody's favortie golf game

Advantages: Great fun
Disadvantages: Can't think of one

...I had played Tiger Wood golf on the xbox and PS2 and loved it therefore I was a little bit worried that this game would be too childish and aimed at younger people just getting into computer games, however I loved it. It does not offer the same graphics and reality as Tiger Woods but the fun factor is still there. --Gameplay-- The game starts off with most of the characters and courses locked as you play the game more you will start to unlock the features. The best way to unlock these features is through the challenge mode, here you complete a variety of challenges and you will increase you player's skill level, get some player accessories and also unlock new players and courses. The game offers other gameplay options including Stroke play, Training and Putt Golf. Taking a shot is quite easy to control as you simply set where...

Review of Everybody's Golf (PSP)

Everybodys Golf - for err Everybody!!

Advantages: Great gameplay, great graphics, great single and online play
Disadvantages: Music can get annoying - but you can turn if off, so no big deal

... Cartoon Golf at its best I used to love playing the PSP version of this game, so I was really looking forward to playing Everybody's Golf on the PS3. And I was not at all disappointed. Fans of the original Everybodys Golf franchise will feel straight at home with the opening screens and the menu system, and anyone new to the game will not feel overwhelmed by confusing menu's. Everything is laid-out in a straight forward manner and is very easy to find. In the single player game, you can choose either "Challenge Mode", "Stroke", "Multiplay", Online" or "Training" In this Challenge Mode you enter various tournaments to win prizes like, different clubs, balls, caddies and finally extra players. The tournaments can be either 9 or 18 holes. Plus some of them have a specific set of rules to them. Some have big cups - where...

A cheap way to improve you're golf swing

Advantages: very cheap, they work, you can practice in the garden
Disadvantages: you may prefer real golf balls

...I have recently got back into golf again and played a few 9 hole rounds with friends, but I was very rusty as it has been a while! The main problem, as most players find when they play infrequently was my swing. One minute I'd completely slice the ball and the next hit a reasonable shot. The tee shots were the most annoying because they setup how the hole is going to pan out for you and most of the time I was leaving myself a lot to do. After playing a quite dissapointing round we had a look in the club shop to see what they had on offer. I noticed these airflow practice balls and they seemed like a fab training aid and something which should really help my swing. They are exactly the same size and dimension as a normal golf ball, but are of plastic construction and have airholes all over them, producing maximum drag from the moment...

Review of Airflow Golf Practice Balls

Super Swing Golf ends up being not that super at all.

Advantages: Addictive soundtrack, Generally great graphics, Realistic driving, Superb multiplayer
Disadvantages: Random putting ruins the game, Steep learning curve

...Super Swing Golf is a Wii version of the popular online multiplayer golf game PangYa, indeed this is no bad thing as Pangya is highly rated. You will negotiate your way through Tour Mode, collecting 'Pang' currency along the way to fully customise your character, equipment and caddy. Gameplay The wiimote is, as one would expect, used as a golf club. When used for driving the wiimote is accurate and a flick of the wrist can add draw or fade to a shot. Special shot types can be made to overcome certain obstacles and items can be bought and used to aid your current game. However putting, in my opinion, feels almost completely random. The distance gauge on the map which is there to help you can be horrendously off target leading you to occasionally putting the ball far too hard. The randomness of putting can leave one feeling...

Review of Super Swing Golf (Wii)

I have resorted to five stars for Lough Erne Golf Resort

Advantages: Excellent food, accommodation and service
Disadvantages: None

...The Lough Erne Golf Resort and Spa is listed on Ciao as a 4 star hotel, but it is now actually a 5 star facility. I have just reached a milestone age, I celebrated my 40th birthday and I asked my husband to arrange a night away for the two of us, a major logistical feat for us. I am a married mother of three children, aged 8, 5 and 15 months and I work full-time so arranging any free time let alone a night away is something of a major event. Why did we choose the Lough Erne Golf Resort? Well to be honest the decision was not based on any strong desire to play golf, well at least not in February. Basically we were looking for somewhere that would offer us a night of luxury, with good food and comfort and somewhere we would not have to travel too far to get to. I would have loved to have gone somewhere exotic and hot, but...
