14 DAY TRIAL // Groove Media has just gone public today announcing a bunch of new features for the company's online golf sim, UTour Golf. Just so everyone's on the same level here, UTour Golf is a free, full-featured online golfing experience where players can wager real money against other virtual golfers.
As the report confirms, several new features include increased challenge options, player created tournaments and mini-games, while Groove Media has made available this address for those looking to check out more on the game and maybe even join the UTour Golf gamer community.
So, without further ado, the new UTour Golf features confirmed by Groove today include:
--New Challenge Option: Handicap Play - Players can utilize the new handicap play feature which allows players to offer or request strokes, in order to make the games fair and challenging for both players regardless of their skill rating.
--New Challenge Modes - The new one-hole option lets players challenge an opponent to a quick, one hole game. Combined with the new entry fee options, it is now possible to put up to $100 on the line for just one hole!
--Player Created Tournaments - Players can now invite up to eight of their friends to play exclusive tournaments with customizable game options; including course played, number of holes and entry fee. This puts a new spin on the classic "office pool".
--Mini-Games - A Score-Based Driving Range game rewards players for their tee shot accuracy. The closer the player comes to the pin, the more points they earn. The player with the highest cumulative points wins the game.
--Stats for Everyone - All players now accumulate free lifetime golf statistics including handicap, holes played, longest successful putt and much more!
UTour Golf is the first free online golf game for PC which anyone can download and go online against competitors for either fun, winning or cash. Courses are inspired by real golfing locations from around the globe, offering multiple game rules including traditional Stroke Play and Match Play.
