Controls: 
=========------------------------
When serving, press the A Button to send the ball high into the air, followed by
swinging the Remote to make your Mii swing at the ball.  If the ball is hit at
the very top of the lob upwards, the serve will be super powered.

Any other swinging motion is made by flicking your wrist on whichever side of 
the body the ball is coming from, flicking with the front of the hand facing the
sensor on your strong side (ie right side of fright-handers) and the back of the
hand facing the sensor on your weak side (ie left side for right-handers).

There are specific shots that can be applied to the ball by performing the
following actions during the swing at the ball (thanks to GameFAQs user 
SuperSaiyanSonic for clarification on a couple of these from his posts on the
board):

Forehand Topsin: Twist the Remote from the buttons facing up to the buttons 
facing down.
Forehand Slice: Hold Remote with the face of it towards the sensor, followed by 
swinging upwards and twist the remote away from the sensor.
Lob: Swing from a lower area to a higher area.
Backhand Topsin: Twist the Remote from the buttons facing down to the buttons 
facing up.
Backhand Slice: Hold Remote with the face of it away the sensor, followed by 
swinging upwards and twist the Remote towards the sensor.

Terminology: 
=========----------------------
Ace: A serve which gets by the opposition without them getting a racket on the
ball.

Advantage: When the match is a deuce, the next team to take a point can win on 
this setting with a second straight point.

Break: To take a game when the opposition is serving.

Deuce: When a game is tied at 40-40, it is called Deuce.  At this point to win
a team/player must score two straight points from this tie to get the victory.

Drop Shot: Hitting the ball so it passes over th enext and hits the court close
to the net.

Lob: Hit a high ball back to the deep portion of the court to push the 
opposition off of the net.

Racket: The implement used to hit the ball.

Tennis Ball: The object hit back and forth between the two teams/players.


Strategies: 
=========----------------------
- Try to mix up the shot usage, as this can throw an opponent off.  This holds 
particularly true for human opponents, by mixing up the strokes used the 
opponent might be shocked by a move, causing them to mess up the return.

- Learn how to use each type of stroke.  Once they are mastered, it is time to
master reading th eplay and deciding when to use each shot in specific 
situations that present themselves, as effective stroke selection can be the 
difference between a win and a loss.

- Use the Training Modes for this game to truly master how the timing and angle
"of the swings of the racket will effect the trajectory of the ball.  By 
 learning this it becomes even easier to make opponent's do what you want on 
 the tennis court.

- To get an easy power serve a lot of the time, simply tap the A Button to lob 
the ball into the air and within a half second start the swing to hit the ball.
Although the timing will differ from player ot player slightly, use this basis 
to get the hardest and nastiest serve possible in play.

- As a ball returns over the net, decide if it is best to swing at the net or to
let the ball past to allow the back player to get it.  Although it is tempting 
to always try with the front player, this can sometimes slow the back player 
down on a run enough to make him miss the ball if the front player was not close
enough to play the ball on their attempted stroke.

     +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+


Controls: 
=========------------------------
While at bat, you must swing the Wii Remote to hit the ball. It works best
if you stand to the side, away from your TV, so that you swing the remote
in front of it, as if you would actually do if a ball was thrown at you.
The dynamics of this work as you'd expect them too: Hit the ball with the
center of the bat to send it straight out. Hit it with top to send it to
the left, and hit it with the bottom to send it to the right (these being
the directions for right handers, reverse them if you're batting lefty.)
The harder you swing, the harder you'll hit the ball, and the farther it
will go.

While at the pitching mound, you have a variety of pitches to choose from.
Use the Wii remote as if you were holding a ball, and move it quickly
forward to throw it. This works best while standing, facing your TV head-
on. Don't hold any buttons, and you'll throw a fastball. Hold A while
pitching to release a screwball. Hold B for a curveball. Hold both for a
Splitter. You can switch between throwing overhand and underhand with the
1 and 2 buttons.


Terminology: 
=========----------------------
Ball: A pitch thrown off of the plate's center, that the batter does not
swing at. If he gets four, he'll automatically go to first base.

Batter: The player swinging at the ball.

Curveball: A pitch that curves to the side.

Double: This is hitting the ball, and then moving to second base, while all
of your players on base move forward two bases.

Fastball: A fast ball that moves straight ahead. 

Foul: This is hitting the ball so that it goes to the right of second base
or to the left of third base before actually passing the base. It counts
as a strike if you have less than two strikes.

Home Run: This is hitting a ball over the wall of the field between first
and third base. You'll get one run, plus one for every player you have on
base. All players will then cease being on bases.

Infield: The grass area between the bases,

Inning: Consists of a team batting, and pitching. There are three, and when
the third one is over, the team with more points wins.

Mercy Rule: This rule states that if you are leading by five or more at the
bottom of an inning, the game will end and you will automatically win.

Out: When a player catches the ball, or picks it up without dropping it from
the infield. When a team gets three, the positions switch.

Outfield: The grass area beyond the bases.

Out of the Park: A homerun that completely leaves the stadium. It's not
worth anything special.

Pitcher: The player throwing the ball.

Run: Baseball's term for a point.

Screwball: A pitch that spins to the side.

Single: This is hitting the ball, and then moving to first base, while all
of your players on base move forward one base.

Splitter: A pitch that seems to drop while in the air.

Strike: A ball thrown over the plate that a player does not swing at, or
any pitch thrown that the player swings at and misses.

Triple: This is hitting the ball, and then moving to third base, while all
of your players on base move forward three bases.

Walk: If you get four balls, this occurs. You automatically go to first
base.


Strategies: 
=========----------------------
- While at bat, much unlike in real baseball, almost every pitch is fair
  game. Ocassionally you will be given a ball -- you can tell, because it
  will go almost directly into your player. However if a pitch has just a
  slight curve to it, swing anyway; they'll almost always just go down as
  strikes if you don't.

- Aim to hit the ball as hard as you can, and with the center of the bat.
  Again, unlike in baseball, the players on the field don't have to catch
  it to get you an automatic out. If it lands in the infield, and they 
  pick it up quickly, you'll be out (unless they drop it which is random.)
  Swing hard to prevent this.

- While pitching, try and use a different variety of pitches, and try to
  put some strength into it so it goes fast. If the computer hits it, you
  can't do anything besides hope your fielders get to it fast. If you're
  playing a human, this is especially important though. And don't let them
  see what buttons you press, because it will allow them to know what
  pitch you are throwing before you actually throw it.

- This is not really a strategy, but it's a useful piece of information
  none the less. A single in this game occurs if the ball lands in or
  close to the infield. A double occurs if it lands outfield, most of the
  time. The only way to get a triple is to have it land just shy of the
  home run wall, so that the outfielders actually spend some time chasing
  to get it. Needless to say, they aren't too common.

- If you can score alot of points quickly, you may be able to pick up a
  quick win via the Mercy Rule. That states that at the end of an inning,
  if you are leading by five or more points, you'll automatically be given
  the win.

      Bowling                                                     [BOWL]  
     +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

Terminology: 
=========----------------------

Arrows: Placed in the lane to help line up shots.  Using these effectively will
allow a bowler to score well consistently.

Double: When a bowler scores two consecutive strikes.

Foul Line: If the bowler crosses the line, there throw is considered null.

Frame: Each frame consists of two attempts to get all the pins down, though 
getting them all down in one ends the frame, or the 10th frame can consist of 
three throws if the pins are all knocked down within the first two throws.

Gutters: The two large troughs that border the lanes.  These are large enough to
snag a ball that has gone off to one side, moving the ball past the pins without
the opportunity of a score.

Head Pin: The front most pin on the lane.

Hook: When spin is applied to the ball to make it curve from the outer area of 
the lane to smash into the head pin and the entire set with great force.

Open Frame: When two throws of the ball in a frame fail to knock down all 10 
pins.  This is disastrous for scoring well in bowling.

Pin: 10 of these start out standing on each frame, with the goal being to knock 
as many down as possible.

Spare: When a bowler picks up the remaining pins after the first throw in a 
frame.

Split: When at least two pins are left standing and a gap exists between them.

Strike: When a bowler knocks down all the pins on the first throw of a frame.

Turkey: When a bowler scores three consecutive strikes.


Bowling Scoring: 
=========----------------------
In bowling each pin is worth 1 point.

If all 10 pins are knocked down in a frame, the score that frame is 10 PLUS the 
next thrown ball or balls (depending on the amount of balls used in that frame).

For a Spare the frame will be worth 10 points + the next ball thrown 
(i.e. 10 + 9 = 19 for that frame).

For a Strike the frame will be worth 10 points + the next two balls thrown 
(i.e. 10 + 7 + 3 =20 OR 10 + 10 + 7 = 27).

This means that Strikes and Spares are very important for scoring well in 
bowling, as leaving an open frame (i.e. leaving pins standing after two balls in
a frame) is usually a devastating blow to any score.  This makes it nearly 
impossible to break 200 (any game over this amount is a good game).


Controls: 
=========----------------------
Use the D-Pad to move left and right to line up the starting position of the 
bowler, and by pressing the A Button the angle of the aim can be adjusted by 
using the same left and right D-pad movements.

To begin the throw, hold the Remote in the air by the shoulder, followed by 
holding down the B Button.  Move the throwing arm backwards to begin the 
wind-up, followed by following through to the front, releasing the B Button as 
the arm begins to go up in the air.

To add spin on a throw, tilt the remote to the side desired to add spin to while
in the throwing motion, releasing the B Button to get the ball rolling.

Strategies:
=========----------------------
- Spend the first few games trying out the spins and positions from which to 
throw, figuring out what works best for you.  Each person has different power,
spin, and line up positions, so find one that works best for you.

- Try to develop a routine for movements when throwing.  This sounds odd but it
will make it easier to repeat the good motions that work more frequently, 
meaning scores will rise overall.

- Get used to bowling with one hand before switching around to the other side. 
  It is a different game when throwing from the opposite side, so get used to 
  one before hopping around.

- Leaving open frames is a death knell to a good score thanks to the combo 
scoring found in bowling, so if going for a serious score just start over after 
a bad frame.

-If you are able to throw a straight ball with a bit of speed, then it is very
easy to pick up a score fo 300.  Move all the way to the side of the lane that
is the same as your throwing hand (ie left side for lefties, right for 
righties), and line up the dashes so they are right beside the gutter.  Now
press the A Button and move the dotted line so it is half on the headpin, half
on the second pin, followed by throwing a straight ball.  If done correctly, it
is a striek every time, and with a bit of work you will be racking up 300 games
at a very fast pace!

     +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

Terminology: 
=========----------------------
Albatross: This is what a -3 on a hole is called.  This means that you shot
three under par for the hole (ie par 5 hole means you shot 2).

Birdie: This is what a -1 on a hole is called.  This means that you shot one
under par for the hole (ie par 5 hole means you shot 4).

Bogey: This is what a +1 on a hole is called.  This means that you shot one 
over par for the hole (ie par 5 hole means you shot  6).

Bunker: These collection of sand traps are strewn about the course, usually 
concentrated around the greens to try and stop your ball from reaching the 
green.

Double Bogey: This is what a +2 on a hole is called.  This means that you shot
two over par for the hole (ie par 5 hole means you shot 7).

Duffed Shot: This is when a golfer hits a ball that travels a minimal distance
on a badly screwed up swing.

Eagle: This is what a -2 on a hole is called.  This means that you shot two
under par for the hole (ie par 5 hole means you shot 3).

Fairway: This is the short grass between the tee and the green.  This is a 
friendly surface to hit your ball off of, and it allows for maximum control on
the ball when hit.

Green: This is where every golfer is trying to get to on every hole as this
is where the hole resides.  Only a putter may be used on this surface.

Green Edge: The cut of grass between the Green and the surrounding grass, it
is almost as low cut as the green itself.  It is suggested to use the putter
from this surface, though any other club can be used as well.

Hole In One.: This is what a -2 score on a par 3 is called (or a -3 on a par
4).  This means that you shot the ball from the tee on your first shot to
land it in the hole (ie you score one for the hole).

Hook:  When the swing has been made with too much power, the meter will swing
back and forth.  For a left-handed player the meter will swing to the right
while for a right-handed player the meter will swing to the left.

Out of Bounds: Landing in this area will result in a one stroke penalty being
accessed, followed by returning the ball to the point of origin.

Rough: This long grass is placed all around the fairway to penalize you for
your errant shot, with the longer grass, less control of ball, and lessening
of the distance your shot will travel.

Slice: When the swing has been made with too much power, the meter will
swing back and forth.  For a left-handed player the meter will swing to the
left while for a right-handed player the meter will swing to the right.

Tee: Every hole starts from this location, and it is the only time that the
ball is allowed to be elevated using a "tee" (this makes the ball fly easier).

Triple Bogey: This is what a +3 on a hole is called.  This means that you shot
two over par for the hole (ie par 5 hole means you shot  8).

Water Hazard: Any water that is hit into will result in a one stroke penalty
being assessed, followed by placing the ball on the last piece of land that
was passed over by the ball’s flight.

Wind: This can push the ball off course while it is in the air, so be sure to
compensate for this force of nature.


Controls: 
=========------------------------
The most important aspect of hitting the ball is to understand the Swing 
Meter on the right side of the screen.  The four dots on it represent 25%,
50%, 75%, and 100% power on the swing respectively, and they also represent
at what point the ball should land from the stroke (this  does not include
the roll after the shot, if any).  

If the 100% level is surpassed, the ball will begin to bend wildly in one 
direction or another, with the more power over 100% applied, the larger 
the bend (and further the ball) will fly.  There is a cap on the power 
applicable to a stroke, but trying to overswing is only useful in certain
situations (see Strategies sub-section for details).

To actually take a swing, face the TV and take a few smooth swings, drawing
back the Remote before going towards the TV.  Take the practice swings that
are allowed, getting a feel for how hard to swing, how far back and forward
to move the remote, getting used to the power applied.

Putting is even more important for learning how to apply power (the Swing
Meter is similar in that regard), though very little backswing is needed. 
Instead, learn how far to follow through on the putting stroke to apply the
necessary power, noting that the 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% mark about how far
the ball should roll (not taking into account the various slopes). To see 
the lay of the green, press the 1 Button to get a better view of the 
sloping areas.


Gameplay Strategies: 
=========----------------------
- Always take practice swings until it becomes second nature on how hard to
  swing.  By taking practice swings, figuring out the right motion and weight
  for each swing will make it easier to be more accurate with the stroke.

- Get used to moving the Remote back and forth for the swing, locating areas
  where the Remote pauses for both ends of the swing.  By doing this it is 
  possible to find a fairly accurate way to control the distance the ball 
  will travel.  By picking out body portions to get the Remote equal to it
  is possible to hit very specific power levels on the Swing Gauge.

- Be aggressive and go after each hole with gusto, but no when it is time to
  just lay up or go for the far side of the green.  When the risk is too 
  high or the reward not worth quite enough, it is best to shoot for just 
  short of the potential hazard or go wide of the area to set up an easier 
  shot.

- When putting, abuse the 1 Button lay of the green function.  This will not
  only show the slopes, but it will also supply the severity of the slopes
  (harshest being the bright yellow, running down to the darkest green as
  the least severe) so aiming putts to correct for slope will become far
  easier to do.

- Before doing anything, always correct for the wind.  By doing this first
  it is assured that it will never be forgotten, meaning that a stroke will
  not be made accidentally without some resistance being applied to the wind.

- When chipping to the green, always check out the slopes of the green with
  the 1 Button.  Correct the aim of the stroke so the slopes that will be 
  crossed can be rolled across towards the hole instead of away from it. The 
  majority of chips miss because of slopes, so try and think the shot 
  through ahead of time to get the ball closer (or even in) consistently.

- After playing a few rounds, it should be easy enough to remember how the 
  holes are laid out, specifically the slopes and bumps near or on the 
  green.  Using this knowledge to your advantage, hit balls into slope close
  to the pin to stop the ball quickly, or hitting downhills short of the green
  to run the ball onto the green.  By using the terrain to your advantage, the
  ball will end up closer to the green than if the land is ignored.


Hole-Specific Strategies: 
=========----------------------

-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Hole 1 (Par 4):
Aim right up the gut of the hole, taking into account any wind.  Even with a 
hook or a slice at worst the lie after the tee shot should be rough.  

The second shot should be an Iron from around 90-120 yards, so try to land the
ball just short of the green, letting the slight slope of the green slow the 
progress of the ball, getting it close to the hole.

The green is a fairly flat surface, so it will have minimal break with which 
to counteract, but do study the square cut of the green to see if the break 
exists (see the Strategies section for a paragraph about square cut break 
reading).
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Hole 2 (par 3)

Go for the green off the tee here, adjusting for the wind, followed by hitting 
the ball at about 3.25 power on the swing gauge (using an Iron).  If done 
correctly the ball should be close to the hole, though headwinds or tailwinds 
can mess with this, so adjust accordingly.

The green has a general left to right breaking pattern (looking from the front
of the green), so be ready to adjust the aim of the putt to counteract this 
possible obstacle.
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Hole 3 (par 5)

Time for the first hard decision of the course, and the wind will likely affect
which choice is made.  Provided the wind is not blowing right at the tee box,
the better bet for scoring a low score on this hole is to drive the over the
rough area near the trees, bouncing the ball out into the fairway, as this 
sets up a possible second shot reaching the green.  If that is too risky or 
the wind is not cooperating, go to the right of the rough and tree portion, 
setting up a two shot approach to the green.  Note it is also possible to go
for the small patch of fairway out in the middle of the Out Of Bounds area, but
it can prove to be a very tough area to reach, so only the most sure in their 
shots should attempt this daring blast from the tee box.

If the green is reachable after the tee shot, go for it and get on in two (or
 very close). Otherwise, just hit it as far up the fairway as it feels 
comfortable to, setting up a third shot with the Iron to get on with instead.

The green slopes mostly from back to front, though there is a little bit of 
left to right action as well.  Adjust carefully and remember that harder 
putts mean less break, but if they miss they go by the hole further than a
more distance accurate putt (but it suffers from more break).
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Hole 4 (par 3)

With the bunker out front, it is tempting to overswing here, but it safer to 
be short than long, as the back has little protection against the ball going 
into the drink.  Hit the ball at least 3.2 power on the swing gauge, getting 
the ball to hit the front of the green on the fly.  Due to the sloped nature
of the green, the ball will not get a lot of roll if done correctly.

The green has a large hump at the back (designed to keep balls in play) but 
it also boasts a mighty downhill and left to right break.  The rest of the 
green feeds towards the front-right section, so expect some break in any putt
made on this surface.
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Hole 5 (par 5)
Another choice for a tee on a par 5, though this one does not have the greatest
risk/reward ratio.  Risking is going for the small rough patch on the corner
of the fairway, slowing the ball down to stop on the fairway, but due to the 
narrow chunk of fairway there it is not really worth it except it sets up a
shorter approach shot (meaning more likely to get on in 2 shots).  The safer
method of teeing off is to aim along that rough path and hit at a 3 power on
the swing gauge to stop short of the bunker, getting a fairway lie to try
the longer approach shot.

No matter what happened on the tee shot, the second shot will be a long one to
try and make the green (provided the lie is on fairway).  Go around the bunker
and just try to stick the green, not being too greedy to go for the pin due to
the bunker.  If in the rough for the second shot, hit a Wood dead up the middle
at as high of a power as possible, not worrying about the hook/slice from the
overswing, as the ball will stay on the stay on the fairway anyhow, setting up
a close in third shot (stick it by the pin).

The green is like a big bowl, all sloped towards the middle area.  This means
that any shot that remains near the border will have a rather filthy slope to
put down, gaining momentum and having to readjust aim.  Even after the
harshest portions, the green still slopes slightly in various directions, so
make proper adjustments before smacking the putt delicately.
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Hole 6 (par 4)

The tee shot must go between the water/rough combo on the right and the bunker
on the left, so adjust for wind before smacking a solid tee shot out onto the
fairway.

If the ball is in the rough, it will be tougher to get close to the hole, but
it should be possible to get near or on the green.  If on the fairway go after
the pin aggressively, using the slope near the rough near the green and the
bunker to slow the ball enough to stop by the hole.

The green has a large bump at the back end, which breaks the ball severely
from left to right, while the bottom area is sloped from back to front
slightly.  This means that any putt from the front just has to cross one
small break, but shots from the rear have to contend with a harsh left to
right break AND the downhill slope from back to front.
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Hole 7 (par 4)

This is a potentially huge make or break hole, as it is possible to go for
the green in one!  Provided the wind is not too much of a headwind, aim the
ball right at the hole and hit a shot at about 3.75 power on the swing gauge
or better.  Note that cross winds can cause problems, as can the overswing,
because both can push the ball into the trees, landing the ball in Out of
Bounds.  This means that going for this is only recommended for those who are
100% confident in their abilities.  Otherwise, hit the ball up the narrow
fairway and cut between the rough and bunker to try and get clear of the
trees on the right.

Provided the ball did not get hung up behind the trees ahead, go for the
green here, using a fairly aggressive power level to hit the slope of the
green, climbing up towards the hole on the bounce.  If a tree is in the way,
try to hit as close to the green as possible, followed by chipping on to get
it as close as possible.

The green is a two-tier set-up, with the lower area having little slope until
it begins to climb to the second tier, where a right to left break
accompanies the slope that runs from front to back.  Getting close to the
hole on the approach shot will help avoid a multiple break putt.
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Hole 8 (par 3)

Using the wood, smack the ball at a 3.1-3.35 power range on the swing guage
(adding or removing based on the wind factors), landing the ball on the small
patch of rough short of the green to slow the ball, running it onot and
sticking to the green.  If the shot is a tad long, use an accurate chip to
get the ball close for a par putt.

The green has a right to left slope that runs right across it (going from
severe on the right to minimal on the left side), which is further compounded
by the back to front slope that the green also possesses.  In fact the only
flat portion is the small area of green right behind the hole.  This is a
tough green to putt on, so get as close to possible to cut out all the
various factors this green possesses.
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Hole 9 (par 5)

With a decent tailwind, a pro player can try to go for the left island off the
tee, hammering a full power shot with NO slice/hook added on, barely reaching
and setting up a rather short shot to the green in two.  This is only for
those who are absolute masters of the game (or the daring… or the stupid… or
the stupidly daring).  Otherwise hit the ball to the right island, trying to
keep it as close to the front-left area of the fairway as possible, setting
up a possible second shot for the green.

If the chance of making the green in two exists, consider the wind before
doing so.  If it is not possible to make it there in two, hit up to one of
the two other islands, getting closer and staying on the fairway to set up
a third shot to hit the green with.  Just note that a huge overswing could
put the ball in the water, though an underswing could do the same thing. ;)

The green is a monster, boasting a three tier set-up, sort of like a bulls-eye
on a target.  This means that each ring gets higher up in altitude as the hole
is approached, meaning that the raised center will have downslope and possible
breaks in any direction, depending on where the ball is.  Adjust accordingly
(as best as possible) while slightly increasing the amount hit over what the
aimer line suggests (fights the effect of the downslope) to try and get the
ball into the hole.

Terminology: 
=========----------------------
Block: Simply put, to block is to guard against a punch with your gloves.

Dodge: You can move side to side (dodge) by moving the remote and nunchuk
left and right at the same time.

Hook: This is a punch that curves off to the side, and then hits your opponent
in their side, with a curved motion.

Jab: A basic straight punch. It can be to the face or to the body.

KO: A knockount. This occurs when you knock your opponent down, and they
get a ten-count. If this happens, you win.

Round: Fights are divided into three rounds, of three minutes each. Between
rounds both fighters take a short break.

Uppercut: This is a punch that starts with your hand lowered, and then quickly
moving upward to hit your opponent in the jaw.


Controls: 
=========------------------------
To a degree, the gloves in boxing correspond to where you actually hold the
Wii Remote (right glove) and Nunchuk (left glove.) It isn't exact, but it is
close -- close enough to allow you to do a Randy Orton pose or a Bruce Lee
roar, if you're so inclined; but that's another story...

To do jabs, you'll have to stick either the remote or the nunchuk out, and
then retract it. Do this motion with a slight angle upward to aim for the
head, and at a slight angle downward to aim for the body. The faster you
make this motion, then pull back from it, the more damage you'll put out with
the punch. Furthermore, you can do quick 1-2s, but punching with one hand,
then as soon as it finishes do a stronger punch with the second hand. If you
do this correctly, a "slow-down" effect on screen will be shown, and you'll
do much more damage (shown in the pie meters.)

In addition to jabs, you can also do hooks and uppercuts. Quickly move the
wii remote down and to the right, at a 45 degree angle in order to do a right
body hook. You can go for a right hook to the face by "turning" the remote
to the left quickly, although it is a fair bit harder to do than the low hook.
The same controls work for the nunchuk, to do the left-hand variations of
these punches. 

Uppercuts can be done by holding the wii remote or nunchuk to the ground, and
quickly bringing them upward; this punch is not very trustworthy, however,
and you may find yourself unable to do it when you want.

You can dodge by moving both the remote and the nunchuk to a side at the same
time. Move them to the right, and you'll dodge left. Similarly, bring them
both to the left, and you'll dodge to the left. You can throw punches from
your leaning position, if you like. You can also block using your gloves,
though. Hold them both up in front of you to block your face, and hold them
both around your stomach, tilted slightly inward towards eachother to block
your stomach.

If you are knocked down, rapidly jab the remote and nunchuk forward 
(alternating style) to help your boxer regain his feet.  If he has taken a bad
beating, it may not be possible, but never give up because you never know.


Strategies: 
=========----------------------
- In the early fights, you don't have to worry about dodging or blocking at
all. Hell, you don't even have to perform a variety of punches. Sticking to
1-2 combos with your jabs will work fine. However, you really should practice
better strategies so you don't get clobbered in the tougher fights. Try tossing
in some hooks, blocks, and dodges just to get a feel for it.

- When you're in trouble, you can almost always spam low-right hooks to get
out of it. This works fine up until you have 1600 skill points or so. Just
jerk the wii remote down and to the right at a 45 degree angle. Your opponent
will rarely block it, and even if they do, they almost always leave you a
chance to retaliate with a similar punch. These surprisngly do just as much
damage, if not more, than head shots -- and speaking of headshots, you can
often sneak one in just after coming out of a right-hook.

- As soon as a round starts, you'll usually have a chance to get ahead by
swiftly tossing a left jab, then a right jab at your opponent's face. If you 
miss, you miss, and leave yourself open. You can come back from that though.
The thing is, if you hit, alot of the times, you can toss more 1-2 combos,
and just wail on your opponent until they either go down, or a good portion
of their health bar is emptied.

- In the harder fights, at the higher skill levels, the main difference is
that your opponents are more aggressive. To counteract this, you'll have to be
more aggressive as well. Don't let up on your punches, unless you scout an
incoming punch to dodge or block. Try to hit your opponent in the head, but
if they block, don't throw punches to the same area continuously. Mix it up a
little, and when you get an opening seize it. And remember, if you block an
opponent's punch, that creates an opening for you. Don't let it pass.

- Knockouts are not as random as they may seem. The more "strong" punches (the
ones that go in slow-motion in 1-2 combos) you land, and the faster you knock
down your opponent, the less likely a chance they have to get up. Obviously,
how many times you've knocked them down to begin with also factors into it. I
don't foresee many of the fighters getting up past the fourth knockdown.

- If neither you nor your opponent can get a decisive KO finish by the end of
the third round, it will come down to a decision. The three rounds will be
scored objectively, based on who did better (who landed more punches, who did
more damage, who scored more knockdowns, etc.) in either your or your 
opponent's favor. It may also be a tie. Whoever has more points is the winner.
If the overall score is a tie, the match is considered a draw.

                  *THANKS TO Jonathan Stark for this strategy*
-I simply stand in front of them, hold up my gloves and then do quick dodges 
back and forth over a small area (right in front of the opponent).  Invariably,
all their punches will either miss or be blocked by my raised gloves.  Often 
their missed punches will cause time to slow down, which is the perfect time to
launch a volley of blows.  Usually you can easily pull off a quick one-two (or 
even three-four) that will leave them with half their life depleted.  After two
or three good combos like this, they'll be down. Of course, they'll get back up
occasionally, but then it's simply time to rinse and repeat.

 Training Mode: Hitting Home Runs
 ======================----------------------------------------------------
 This game is very simple, but not as easy as it sounds. A pitcher will
 pitch ten balls to you, and you'll have to hit as many as you can, in an
 attempt to get home runs. If you one hit one, you should be swing the bat
 hard when the ball is directly in front of the plate. Aim to hit the ball
 with the center of the bat, for best results, as hitting it from the tip
 or lower portion will usually give you foul balls. The distance needed
 for a homerun differs depending on which part of the field you're in,
 obviously, but if you hit it dead center, 400 feet or so will get you one.
 If you want the gold, you'll have to nail one every single time though.
 --------------------------------------------------------------------------


 Training Mode: Swing Control
 ======================----------------------------------------------------
 This mode starts with different shadings of blue on the ground. There's a
 dark blue panel in the center, two light blue panels on either side of it,
 and then two white panels further out. You'll get points if you land on
 any of these areas, with more points being closer to the center. The first
 four pitches will have the lit up area directly in front of you. So there,
 aim to hit the ball from the center of the bat, straight ahead. The next
 three will be off to the left. So at this time, try and hit the ball with
 the top portion of the bat, so that it goes to the left. For the last
 three pitches, the lit up area will be on your right. So, inversely, try
 and hit it with the bottom section of the bat. Timing your swing is
 everything, since you get no points if you miss the ball, or do not have
 it land on a lit up section of the ground.
 --------------------------------------------------------------------------


 Training Mode: Batting Practice
 ======================----------------------------------------------------
 This is the simplest of the baseball training games, but also the longest.
 The pitcher will throw 30 pitches to you. If you hit it, and it stays in
 play or you get a homerun, you'll get a point (as long as it goes more 
 than a few feet in front of you.) If you miss, or hit a foul ball, you
 will not get a point. The pitcher won't stop, such just keep swinging at
 every pitch. Don't put too much power in the swings: Just be consistent
 and try to keep a rhythm. You need about 20 for a silver medal, and 27
 for a gold medal. If you're able to get them all, you'll get a well-earned
 platinum medal.

Using spin when necessary, get all the pins down in one throw.  Five misses and 
the game ends, so learn from the miss throws to get the same pin set-up the

Silver medal, and 15+ spares for a Gold medal!

 Training Mode: Power Throws
 ======================----------------------------------------------------
 
Whip the ball down the bumpered lanes, attempting to send all the pins down for
a double score on that round.  With each round a new set of pins is added, so a
hard throw that curves into the pile is an absolute must to score big times 
points!

1st  = 10 pins
2nd  = 15 pins
3rd  = 21 pins
4th  = 28 pins
5th  = 36 pins
6th  = 45 pins
7th  = 55 pins
8th  = 66 pins
9th  = 78 pins
10th = 91 pins

However, there is a neat trick to be performed in the 10th round of the 
mini-game, which if done successfully will cause all the pins to fall down.  To
undersdtand why it works jus watch the left or right side of the full lane 
during the early rounds, looking over the bumpers to see a small red button on 
either side of the lane attached to the cieling of the pin house.  This is
important as during the 10th and final round the bumper walls are lined up right
with this button, so the attempt can be made on the button at that time.

Left-handed bowlers will need to go down the left bumper while the right-handed
bowlers will need to go down the right bumper.  Move all the way over to the
wall, followed by moving one spot away from the wall, followed by pressing the
A Button to make an angle change, moving one spot towards the wall, followed by
throwing the ball down the wall with the Remote angled about 30 degrees towards
the the center of the lane, releasing the ball very late in the throw.  If done
correctly the ball will roll all the way down the wall and smack the button,
clearing the lane of standing pins!

 --------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Training Mode: Spin Control
 ======================----------------------------------------------------
Avoid the barriers and knock down the pin that remains standing.  Carefully 
angle each shot and add spin to get at those hard to reach targets!  Score 
6-11 hits for a Bronze medal, 12-15 hits for a Silver medal, and 15+ hits for
a Gold medal, but after five misses the game ends, so be careful!

 Training Mode: Putting
 ======================----------------------------------------------------
 Using the 1 Button to show the mounds on the green, line up putts and drop 
 them.  Take into account cross slopes as well as head on slopes, adjusting 
 aim and power to make the ball reach the cup properly.  If a miss occurs, 
 make the necessary adjustments on the previous line, also taking into 
 account any changes additional power on the putt may cause.  Score 10 putts
 before getting 5 misses, gaining the Gold Medal!
 --------------------------------------------------------------------------


 Training Mode: Hitting the Green
 ======================----------------------------------------------------
 Chip the ball as close to the pin as possible, getting a score based on how 
 much distance remains to the hole.  However, have a shot land off the green
 (even the Green Edge) and get a default score of 100 feet!  This game 
 rewards those who are able to read the landing area of a ball and the rolling
 that occurs afterward, so adjust aim based off lie of the green (use the 1 
 Button once again to find slopes).  As for distance, it is usually key to go
 about 1 power rating below the swing gauge suggestion on screen.  On the 
 longer shots a choice must be made between overswinging the wedge and hoping
 the hook/slice is not too severe, or using the Iron to half swing a ball at
 the green, but note this second option has a long run on the ball making it
 a very delicate matter (swing for well short of the hole).  Score less than
 125 feet for the Gold, while Silver is the 125-250 foot range and the 
 Bronze is about 250-400 feet.
 --------------------------------------------------------------------------


 Training Mode: Target Practice
 ======================----------------------------------------------------
 Hit the ball onto the targets that lie ahead, running up a score based on 
 how accurate the landing of the ball is.  It is easier to hit for the 
 shorter target with an Iron, but the higher score is to be had on the 
 further away target, though it requires use of the Wood.  Adjust the aim for
 the wind before hitting the ball, remembering that it takes about 3.5 power
 on the swing gauge to hit the 100 point bulls-eye on the far target pre-wind
 effects.  High end swing meter accuracy is rewarded with higher scores here,
 as is being able to effectively read and adjust to the wind.  Score 250-450
 points for a Bronze medal, 450-650 for a Silver Medal, and clear 650 points
 for the elusive Gold Medal!

 Training Mode: Working the Bag
 ======================----------------------------------------------------
 In this mode, you'll have bags placed in front of you, one at a time, which
 you'll have to knock down. They can either be brown, white, or black. The
 brown ones will go down quickly, while the white ones take longer, and the
 black ones take an unholy amount of time to destroy. You'll be scored one
 point for each bag you destroy, regardless of color. So that's where luck
 will come in. You won't be getting any high scores if they keep giving you
 black bags.

 To take the bags down, you should be using 1-2 combos: A left jab, followed
 quickly by a right jab (reversed if you are left handed.) If you go fast
 enough, the second punch will do considerably more damage than it ordinarily
 would. You'll still have to punch hard though, to maximize the damage. You
 should be able to take down brown bags with just one combos. Aim for two or
 three for the white bags, and four for the black ones if you are going for
 a high score.

 Also know, however, that ocassionally the bag will be on the left or the
 right of where it usually starts. If this happens you'll have to lean to hit
 it. It will also start swinging if you hit it with a hook, but throwing hooks
 is a horrible thing to do in this excercise anyway, so just avoid that.
 --------------------------------------------------------------------------


 Training Mode: Dodging
 ======================----------------------------------------------------
 This game can be calm and relaxing, or viciously painful, depending on how
 you play. A man will begin throwing balls at you, and you'll have to dodge
 them by moving either left or right. Simple enough. However if you stand up
 and actually start weaving, in a few tries, you'll be exhausted. That's a
 fact. A much simpler method is to just tilt both the remote and the nunchuk
 to bob in that direction.

 The only other part of the game is knowing in what direction to dodge. If
 the guy holds a ball in his right hand, go left, and vice versa. That's
 easy. However, as you go he'll often start speeding up. And while you may
 get into a rhythm of going left, and right, left, and right, don't let 
 yourself be fooled. He switches it up every once in a while, and you don't
 want to be caugh off guard.

 You'll also have to be weary of him throwing two balls at once. When that
 happens you'll have to look at what direction he's leaning in, then as quickly
 as you can, you'll have to move in the other direction as far as you can. You
 can sometimes dodge it by staying in between the two balls, but only if he
 moves his arms far apart before throwing. There's no point to risking this,
 since if you wait to see how far apart he moves his arms, you won't have time
 to dodge out of the way if he throws them close together.
 --------------------------------------------------------------------------


 Training Mode: Throwing Punches
 ======================----------------------------------------------------
 In this game your trainer will hold up punch mitts, either one at a time
 or both at once. Scoring is simple: If you punch a glove, you'll get a
 point, and if you hit the trainer, you'll lose one. The position of his
 gloves will change though. If he holds it low, do a jab to get it. A right
 jab if its on you right, and a left jab if its on your left. If he puts
 it up higher, use the opposite hand (ie. if its on your left, move to the
 side a bit and hit it with a right.) If he sticks the mitt out to his
 side, you can slide over to hit it, but it will waste time. It will be
 quicker to hit it with a hook.

will be able to score in a narrow range surrounding your score. You'll either
raise in age slightly, or drop in age slightly. The goal is to work at it

Don't put too much thought into it.
