Has anyone got or used the My Personal Golf Trainer package for Wii by David Leadbetter? It seems to be marketed (and priced!) as serious swing coaching software rather than a game. Amazon sells it for US$90 but you also need a Wii Balance Board (US$70+ on eBay or US$90 with Wii Fit Plus), on top of the cost of a Wii if you don't already have one.

I'm not convinced that you can simulate a golf swing if you are holding a chunky Wiimote rather than a real golf club because of the grip size and weight distribution. Also, the Balance Board is 20 inches long, which seems too short to be able to get both feet on in a normal golf stance.

I would be interested to hear from anyone who has tried it...

Thanks! I haven't used it but that is what I was trying to remember when the topic came up about golf simulators.

I might be interested for say $50 but I don't have a wii so it would something like $400 to get everything I need to start. For that kind of dough I could take lessons (if I were ever inclined to do so, I'm of the it can't be the indian it has to be the arrow school)

I own a Wii and play Wii golf. While it is fun to play on the Wii, the comments are correct about the size of the balance board being to small to go into a normal golf stance and unless the game comes with a more realistic club than what the Wii sports offers or allows you to use your own club, I'm not certain how the game would work out? Now that I know the training game is out, I will probably check around for a used game to pick it up for a cheaper price to check it out for myself. It is more cost effective than the Leadbetter software if you already own a Wii. Hope this helps?
