This could be a completely subjective impression on my part I've been playing Links for quite some time now and I have never noticed this "momentum" factor. I think that the peson making these long putts simply got the hang of it a bit more than others. Links *looks* great, but it has some flaws... I wish they had computer players that you could play against. Also, I don't like the fact that you can take mulligans any time you want. There should be a way to turn off that feature where it can't be turned back on. For all you golf game fans out there, there's a fairly new golf game called Jack Nicklaus Golf - Signature Edition. I've tried this game out and if you've played the previous version of Nicklaus Golf, this one is a BIG improvement. It still isn't as pretty as Links, but it has some great options like playing against the computer (who's skill you can modify). You can pick from several body types to represent yourself (male, female, tall, short...). You can play different games or a tournament and mulligans are a little more realistic, you only get one per game and it can only be used on a tee shot. If you have a sound card, there's some great audience sounds if you make a good shot or come close. --Traig
