This has been something I wanted to ask for sometime now, but for whatever reason, didn't get around to it. For those who have played golf games on the Wii, how do you stand in front of the TV? For instance, do you stand with you side facing the TV, as if you were actually golfing? Or, do you face the TV normally and swing the Wii remote to the side? I'm curious about this, especially when it comes to seeing exactly how hard you're swinging. One reason I don't think I enjoy Super Swing Golf that much was because I couldn't check the power of my backswing, as I had my side facing the TV. I was curious how someone approaches a golf game for the system. A somewhat silly topic, I know, but I'd like to see some feedback on this.

I play as if I'm really out there and it seems to help my handicap (Golfer since NES Open).

same here, i golf like I'm actually out on the tee. If you're looking to get a golf game, I would HIGHLY recommend Tiger over Wii Sports.

I turn sideways... why would you face the TV?

That completely ruins it.

Just like I was on the course. I see what your saying, but you need to get Tiger Woods 10, to get this silly idea out of your head :P

i kind of stand diagonally - not looking directly to the side, but angled slightly toward the screen a little just so its easier to look up at the screen.

it depends on if I feel like standing (usually involving alcohol)

but for the most part I sit in a chair, but face like I would in normal golf. I handicap the handicap
