Share your best shots with your friends...
GamerNet on the other hand is a useful addition to the series and no doubt a sign of things to come from EA's sport's games. Soon, we'll be able to play any sport's title and be able to bore people to tears by uploading the files of our greatest achievements for them to view at their leisure.Personally, I can't think of anything more tedious than watching a friend chip in a bunker shot to score an Eagle - apart from maybe being forced to look through the holiday snaps from their summer holidays. I'd rather just get on and play the game, but nevertheless there are bound to be plenty of people out there who will enjoy using this new feature, which actually works extremely well and it can't be denied that it's an impressive feature.
One of the best things about GamerNet is that you can set challenges for people online. During every game of golf you can upload one of your better shots, change a number of parameters and then challenge the world to beat you. In return, you receive points and rise up the online leader-boards. Despite my pessimistic tone, GamerNet does enhance the Tiger Woods experience and does a good job at bringing together the community.

First up, it's worth mentioning that the PGA Tour Season is a pretty strange experience. The actual golf playing side of things I can't really complain about and wacking a perfect drive, chipping a bunker shot next to the pin or flopping a 50 yard wedge shot onto the green is a satisfying feeling.
The strange part of it is that you never actual see another player throughout the 16 events that you play. You're totally on your own and apart from having a scoreboard that appears before each hole, which tells you how your invisible competitors are getting on, it just doesn't feel like you're playing in a competition that really matters.
