Golf is a very deceptive sport. While many people will bemoan how “boring” it is, they’re only looking at it from the viewpoint of a spectator. Actually picking up a club and swinging at a ball will show you just how much technique goes into perfecting your shot. You need to understand the weight of your gear, the arc of your shots, the wind resistance of the course, and account for the shapes of the greens. It can sometimes feel like a giant puzzle.
That’s what makes a game like Golf Peaks feel so natural. This is an idea so obvious, it’s a real surprise it hasn’t happened before. Golf requires careful thought and planning, so why not mix that with a puzzle game? While you might be losing all of the club selection and execution of technique, what you’re gaining is a title that captures the essence of golf in bite-sized chunks that anyone can dig into.
