World Golf Tour Online

World Golf Tour is worth checking out. It's an online golfing game ala most console/PC golf type games, but done using photography rather than entire 3D worlds. It's really nicely done. Fortune magazine had a full article about it here:

The article speaks a lot about how this game is going to have people slacking in the work place. After playing several times, i'm not sure that's entirely the case. Not yet anyhow. I'm going to keep watch for new features and social aspects that i hope appear. Making your golf team is great, but i want to be able to communicate on a higher level with my teammates. Maybe i'm spoiled though being a facebook junkie, twitter lover and xboxlive guy. Being a golfer, i'm keeping my fingers crossed for this one.

The game.
