  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I didn't realize this update existed, and I've been pissed about the less than perfect graphics of this game for a while. After using this update, game looks fantastic. Games should send out info about updates to game owners. When we register the game, we should be able to submit email and get info on these important updates in the future.

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />piece of software. I tried using version 1.0 a couple years ago with a 500mhz iBook and gave up in disgust. I recently got a 1.33 G4 iBook and tried the 1.1 update. The rendering is certainly faster, but the play is just as bad. A total lack of consistency in making the short shots. Putt that go nowhere.... downswings that have a mind of their own... eg analysis..."extreme outside to in swing path" when you have tried to play a draw... almost as if you had your mouse reversed! What is really perplexing is that some users have reported that the game works perfectly on a variety of machines. Maybe they only went to the driving range! If it works well for some folk, it means that the rest of us are having some kind of finger trouble. This should be something that Aspyr should be able to resolve. It would be nice if they would at least try instead of just trying to sell more copies.

• Aspyr Abadonware

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Sadly, this appears to be no longer supported by Aspyr. There still are major issues with the game, which holds a ton of promise but apparently nobody over there can be bothered to try and provide fixes. Unfortunately the same is true of the other competing title - Links, which also is plagued by many problems that haven't been fixed. Mac golfers deserve better!

• This is THE BEST golf game!!

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />This update fixed everything that I thougt was a problem with the game. It sped up the performance dramatically too! I don't understand why everyone complains about this game. IT'S FREAKIN' AWESOME! Oh, and for kirkmc1 when you are putting or chipping to stop the ball from only going inches, you have to swing SLOWER. You're not trying to drive the ball. Anyways, if you like golf buy this game. It's cheap and fun!

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />This game sucks. If you want to play it, by all means don't pay for it. Aspyr deserves that their games be pirated for releasing this piece of crap. Here's what's wrong: first, it's supposed to work with a G3 400. Yeah, right... I bought it for my son, to use on his G3 800 iBook with 640 MB Ram, and it moves in jerks and starts. The graphics suck, and it's basically unplayable. On my G4 933 iBook, it is better, but the graphics still take time to catch up with my strokes. There there's the putting (and the occasional chip shot). Often, after a full backswing, then a foreswing, the ball goes a few inches and no more. Or what about those times when I backswing and the golfer swings before the foreswing? This game is so buggy that Aspyr should be ashamed. In addition, some features don't work as described. There are supposed to be three ways to hit the ball: using the spacebar, using the 3-click method, and their True-swing method. The first two don't work at all, meaning that I need to use a mouse to play with an iBook, since using the trackpad is pathetic. So, all these game companies rag on people who pirate their software, but when you buy *censored* like this, you understand why. (Oh, did I mention that Aspyr's tech support doesn't even answer questions about this game? Gee, that's a subtle hint...) In short, I don't pirate software, but I'll make sure to download copies of some of Aspyr's games to make up for the money I wasted on this piece of *censored*. Save your money. Buy a couple of good books to read instead.

• Update is terrific!

  Cons

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />With an ATI radeon 9800 Pro video card I was totally disapppointed with the frequent crashes that occured whenever I tried to use FSAA' etc. This update has fixed most of that, and adds Cinema display shape resolutions. Sadly, here it falls short, as some of the game elements such as swing meter now draw partially off screen, so for now I'll stick to 1280X1024 and put up with black bands down each side of the screen. Overall though, a great update.

• Texture problems under Panther

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I was hoping this patch would fixed the texture problem I have been having ever since installing Panther. The patch did improves it in some places but the fairways and greens continue to be all messed up. Overall a very nice golf game.

• Don't apply this patch

  Hal21--2008September 27, 2003

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I just installed the update patch and prior to installing it, I was ready to start the 3rd round in Season Tour Tournament. After installing the patch, as soon as I finish the 1st hole of the 3rd round, the game crashes and I get an error message saying, 'the application Tiger Woods 2003 has unexpectedly quit'. I have tried it numerous times and it happens every time at the same spot. It's when playing the 3rd round of 2003 PGA Tour Season at Pebble Beach. I also get the same crash &amp; error message after playing the 3rd hole of the Skills Competition. It also happens every time! I just discovered that everything crashes in Career Mode, too! Prior to applying the patch, the only problem I had was with the scorecards and an occasional crash, but now once I get a crash, I can't get beyond that crash by restarting or relaunching the game as I could before in the original version. I'm very upset about this patch because my family had a lot of saved games that are now worthless since we can't proceed any further with any of the saved games. I'm sorry I have to lower my rating considerably from my previous post.
