This is a question that is asked all the time. I’ve decided to put it here so players will find it much more easily (and so I can just post a link from now on…lazy…I know). You have two options for setting up play with multiple remotes. The first and most recommended way is to synchronize your remotes to your Wii system. Many Wii owners aren’t aware of this, but you are supposed to sync each of your remotes to your Wii to allow them to be turned on at any time simply by hitting the power button on each. This also allows you to turn on your Wii using any remote, instead of having only one that works. The process is simple, and Nintendo explains it very thoroughly on their own site. Click here to find the step-by-step instructions.
Your second option is a temporary one, and if you choose to go this route, you’ll need to complete these steps every time you want to play. To turn on another remote during a game, you should hit the home button on your main remote. That will bring up the main menu, and at the bottom, you should see an area that allows you to manage your remotes. Click on that button, and you will be given the opportunity to turn on each remote individually the same way you do in Wii Sports, by holding down buttons on each one until they are activated. And that’s it! If you’re having trouble with any of these steps, comment below and I’ll be glad to help you out.

There have been some reported problems with the Wii MotionPlus accessory, and I wanted to post the solution here so it’s easier to find. Sometimes the MotionPlus will get disoriented, and wacky things will happen to your controls. They may be unresponsive, or things on the screen may move on their own. An easy fix for this is to recalibrate your MotionPlus sensors so they can reorient themselves. Continue Reading »

Far too often I see players online playing with a constant aggressiveness, attempting to hit the ball as far as humanly possible every time they tee off. This is also usually accompanied by a quick pace of play, perhaps to show their opponents their amazing skill before getting a chance to hit their own shots. While hitting the ball a mile at a time can offer advantages on holes such as short par fours, you’ll often leave yourself with a better shot if you “lay up” on your tee shot. Continue Reading »

This is just a quick announcement for those of you visiting for the first time or for those who have recently started visiting since they got TW10. I know there aren’t a lot of articles in the TW10 section yet, mainly because the game hasn’t changed all that much from TW09, and most of the older articles are still relevant. I really need to reorganize the site to make that blatantly obvious to newer visitors, but I haven’t had a chance to do it yet. So this is my quick, albeit lazy, bandaid approach to the problem for the time being. 
So if you are visiting for the first time or haven’t had a chance to dig into the archives, I encourage you to check out the TW09 articles, because all the info about using loft, reading breaks in putts, club tuning, etc., still applies to the new game. And lastly, I just wanted to thank all of you who have left such encouraging comments on various parts of the site and have taken the time to send such nice emails. As you can see, I’ve chosen to keep the site ad-free (and thus money-free), and the gratitude and encouragement I get from all of you is simply overwhelming at times. So thanks for adding your own personal touch to the site and for making it fun for me to keep it going!
