Tips for Tiger Woods 2008 for Wii
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2008 for the Wii is an interactive game that allows you to swing your Wii controller as if you were swinging a golf club. You can choose from several different golf courses on which you can play. In order to improve your game play, there are several tips that you can follow.

Hit Accurate Shots

Although you can hit each shot at 110 percent on the power gauge, you are likely to lose a good deal of your accuracy if you do so. The best way to hit accurate shots is to change the settings of your golfer so that his backswing is shorter. Although the accuracy will increase when you do this, the power will likely decrease. However, chances are that you will be more pleased when you hit a 285-yard shot in the middle of the fairway than you'll be if you hit a 305-yard drive in the rough.

Adjust Loft Settings

If the golf course on which you are playing is experiencing high-wind conditions, you can adjust the loft to improve your shots. When the loft is at a high setting, the chances are greater that the ball will get caught up in the wind. However, if you adjust your loft setting to be lower, the ball will not get so high that it gets caught up in the wind.

Sound an Air Horn

The one thing that golfers demand above all else is silence as they are approaching a ball. Even something as quiet as a camera clicking can throw a golfer off his game. Therefore, it stands to reason that if you sound an air horn as you opponent swings, you might alter his swing. You can sound the air horn by pressing the "A" and the "B" buttons simultaneously.

Improve Putting

Ignore your caddie's recommendation when it comes time to putt. The caddie does not calculate slope when he makes a recommendation, therefore if you are going to putt uphill or downhill, his recommendation will likely lead to a poor shot. Keep in mind that every time you are putting uphill, you should hit a slightly stronger shot than what was recommended. If you fail to do this, there is a good chance the ball will not get to the hole.
