Can a 45-year-old man maintain a marriage and a videogame habit? Let's find out!

Total Pro Golf 2 rocks!

If you’re out for practicality, buy some financial reporting software. But even the busiest, most productive accountant needs a bit of a break now and then, right? And what would accountants do without the occasional round of golf to de-stress them?

That’s where Wolverine Studios’ Total Pro Golf 2 comes in; while it’s 2D and more of a text-based sports management sim than a graphical 3D golf romp like the average Tiger Woods or Hot Shots Golf game, Total Pro Golf 2 has garnered a loyal following that is growing every day.

Developer Gary Gorski has refined the original game in every way, adding in new features, an optional three-click shot control scheme, loads of deeper stats and much more. It’s the only version anyone should consider buying.

New version of Total Pro Golf announced!

It’s getting harder and harder to find videogames that don’t need an HDMI cable and an HDTV in order to view them properly. While I love high-def gaming as much as anyone, though, sometimes simplicity is far more enjoyable.

That’s why I’m stoked by the recent announcement from Wolverine Studios that Total Pro Golf 2 is under development and could arrive sometime this summer. The first game, programmed by Gary Gorski, the hoops game whiz behind Total College Basketball and Draft Day Sports: Pro Basketball, was a surprise hit for Wolverine, but since it was put together quickly, didn’t feature some of the statistical depth and overflow of features that are a hallmark of all of Gorski’s titles.

The new game will aim to fix that, promising to build off the strong base of the first game while adding in a lot more stats and a lot more features to give the game better depth. While the game may never be quite as impressive as EA’s Tiger Woods PGA titles or Sony’s Hot Shots Golf titles, Total Pro Golf 2 is certainly one to watch out for if you want a PC sports title that plays fun and quick.
