Today's the day for my yearly round of golf with Tiger Woods, the 65-times PGA Tour winner and world number 1. He has kindly stepped down to the small screen to teach me how to survive on the PGA tour in 2009.

The first thing he wants me to do is choose my appearance. Naturally I try to make me look like myself, but a much better looking version, but with the PSP I can't stop myself looking like a monkey who's been forced to sit through a 6 hour lecture on farming equipment. Even my Xbox 360 avatar is a better looking representation of myself; don't get me started on my eye-candy mini Mii. I give up, I'm sure this might be a far more pleasant experience if it didn't take so long to load each screen.

Feel free to come up with your own "time for tee" gag and imagine it's written here.

I haven't even started yet and already he wants me to give myself some complimentary Skill Points. Who am I to complain if it makes me better at hitting a ball into a hole? He's so generous, he's even given me $2,500 to buy clothes and upgrades. He says if I'm good enough I can earn even more Skill points and cash for even more clothing. I'm already wondering if I'm going to be around long enough to use this cash.

So here I am at Pebble Beach, and the master of golf has given me the option to customize my game and the course. Apparently I can change the Green, Fairway, Rough and Mulligans to slow, medium or fast. I guess medium is the safe option, but what the hell is a mulligan? Now he wants to know if I want to be me or him. Well I've just spent 20 minutes creating myself, so I guess I'll be Tiger! I'm messed around too much; it must be time to play now. Anyone for golf?

A series of Top Pros will stand in the way of your success. As will the controls.
