Straight from the off you notice changes have been made, instead of being introduced by the great man Tiger Woods himself, you are approached by his coach, Hank Haney. He will explain the new Dynamic Skills system that the game heavily uses. Here you are ranked on four areas during each game, drive, approach, short and putt. If you do well in a game these stats will increase, allowing for better shots like power and precision, however play badly and the stats will also drop. They are represented in a very simple points system at the end of each game mode you play. Hank will then go back to a specific area of the course and give you the chance to practice certain shots to increase the stats. 

As well as the tips from Hank you also have a Swing Feedback Meter, a real time measure showing you with a very simple line graphic on the golf ball if you are slicing the ball to much. If you feel that you are constantly miss-hitting the ball, take it to the Club Tuning area, here Hank will allow you to hit some balls and then make suggestions on how to make the shots better. Once you have adjusted to your needs you can take the clubs out to the course and hit those perfect straight shots and also learn to control you ball with confidence. 

The area I am most impressed with is the online mode, with a very simple idea it has revolutionised the way you play online golf, everyone plays at once, no longer do you have to wait for your turn, which can get boring for a 4 player game, instead you all go for the hole at the same time and each of the players balls is represented on screen by a different coloured line. Not only does it speed up gameplay but it also allows some of the novice players to pick up tips for better approaches from the more experienced.
