 Before making a shot , the player may select a club and adjust the general direction of the swing . As with other golf games , a " swing meter " is used to simulate the act of swinging the club . The player clicks three times : first to initiate the backswing , which causes a timing indicator to move along the meter ; second to begin the downswing ; and third to " snap " the shot , which determines accuracy . Changes in the timing of these clicks alter the shot . A red section on the far end of the swing meter represents overswinging , which negatively affects shots . The crowd reacts to the player 's shots , and Tournament mode features announcer commentary that analyzes the match overall ; it can frame the player 's current performance in the light of past shots .
