I received Mario Golf as a Christmas present in '99, just before we left for the three and a half hour drive to Mississippi. I am by no means a golf fan. In fact, I'm not really into the whole sports thing. I'll play the occasional game of NFL Blitz...

Pros: very addictive

Cons: Beating Mario is tough!

Mario tends to lend his name only to superior products, I have to give Nintendo credit for that. If you go out and buy a game with Mario in the title it will be good, and Mario Golf is no exception. I am an avid golfer, but my friend is not. I originally...
