An addictive new game to waste your time!

World Golf Tour

The above link will take you to the "beta" demo of World Golf Tour. An in-browser game that may be the biggest time-waster of 2008...a fun time-waster though! Some ingenious people have designed this game so that you can play it in your browser without having to download any executables. The game uses high-resolution photographs of golf courses, rather than traditional 3-D graphics. The demo is 9 holes of "closest to the pin". Which basically means you get one shot at each hole to get as close to the pin as possible.

The closer you are to the pin on each hole, the lower your score will be. Score under 500 points to rank semi-pro, under 350 points to rank pro. I just sat here for an hour and played through about eight or nine times, it's very addictive. By mid-year 2008, it should be an entire 18 hole golf course, fully playable, with more golf courses to be added eventually. The game will be mostly free from what I understand, with the makers getting their money through advertising and possibly extras that may cost extra.
