Learn how to play golf in Wii Sports, including Wiimote grip, power bar usage, and putting mechanics. Master your swing!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Hold the Wiimote like a regular golf club, keeping it flat and facing outward, ideally with two hands for better control and enjoyment.
  2. 2
    Adjust the direction of your shot by pressing Left and Right on the D-pad. Up and Down on the D-pad can change clubs, but it's best to leave this untouched initially.
  3. 3
    Observe the power bar, which uses three dots and a red dot to indicate where the ball will land based on your swing's force.
  4. 4
    Practice your swing, aiming to hit the power bar as close to the top as possible without going over. Overhitting will cause the ball to go off target. Different clubs can reduce the maximum power bar height.
  5. 5
    To swing, move the Wiimote back over your shoulder and then forward. Adjust power and swing size by altering the speed and magnitude of your swing.
  6. 6
    Hold the A button while swinging to ensure the shot connects.
  7. 7
    When you reach the Green, you must putt. Check the Green's topography by pressing the 1 button; light indicates high gradients, and dark indicates low gradients.
  8. 8
    Adjust your putting position using the Left and Right buttons on the D-pad.
  9. 9
    Hold the Wiimote in the same manner as the Driver and perform a slight backswing followed by a forward push. Hold the A button when ready to putt.
Tips
  • Keeping the Wiimote flat at all times ensures the best recognition for your swings.
  • Overhitting a shot will cause it to go off target, so try to hit it as close to the top of the power bar as you can.
  • Different clubs will minimize how high the power bar will go, helping you control your power.
  • Pressing the 1 button on the Green shows the topography, with light indicating high gradients and dark indicating low gradients.
