If You Need Me I'll Be In Bali Playing Golf


Welcome to World Golf Tour, one of Battery Ventures most recent and exciting newly funded companies. Today at work, I logged on and played at the Bali Hai Golf Club while I sat at my phone listening to another misable sales call. I've seen pool, chess, sudoku and even scrabble, but is high quality online golf the next casual game? World Golf Tour has taken computer games to the next level to offer the most photo realistic golf experience for its users. The game developers have put the time in to capture every ounce of the course with their high quality photography to give the users the most realistic and enriching golf experience. Now, people can play the most renowned courses in the world from the comfort of their homes or offices.

You might be asking yourself how this game is any different from the high quality games we see on Playstation and XBOX. This is where the Digital Sensei bows to the people who developed this amazing idea, because they've made this entire game a branded experience. Players can buy the exact outfit that they have when the go golfing in real life. They can buy the clothes, accesories and even the clubs. You can enter PGA sponsored golf tournaments to win real prizes. At every opportunity to make the game more realistic, they have. Even the actual real time weather at each live course plays a role in the courses of the game.

You'd think that people would be pissed to have to pay for the newest and coolest digital equipment, but what an amazine opportunity to completely customize your digital golfer the way you want. What an amazing way to REALLY connect with the golf enthusiasts personal style and preferences. What a way for Taylor Made to connect with an engaged golfer who wants their digital player to be equiped with the best new equipment. What a way for Cadillac to sponsor the 18th hole of the PGA Charity Golf Tournament. What a way for golfers and wanna be golfers to enjoy what they love from the comfort of wherever they wanna be. World Golf Tour is an amazing new game and marketing vehicle that I hope spawns into a variety of different sports. I urge you to endulge, but beware, it's addicting!!! Click here to check them out.
