This is the future of videogame golf. After uploading your own picture and scanning your ugly mug onto a virtual golfer (and adding the mandatory pink mohawk), you head to St. Andrews. On 18, you unleash the big dog and smash a low, burning drive. Your ball ricochets off the famous stone bridge, skyrocketing into the air before landing on a spectator's head, knocking him to the ground. Before you can wipe the grin off your face you save a replay and upload it to EA's new GamerNet to share the clip with your friends. Then you throw down the challenge. Your friend downloads the clip, thinks he can do better, and jumps right onto the 18th and hits his own drive off the bridge and a fan's dome and earns 100 GamerNet points. Back at EA Tiburon, a designer sees this hilarious shot and makes it the Shot of the Day. Other gamers check out the shot and try it for themselves. Soon the off-the-bridge-and-fan shot is the most downloaded shot of the week and jumps up the GamerNet leaderboards. Soon, thousands of Tiger 08 gamers around the world are bouncing balls off the bridge, earning points and moving themselves up the GamerNet leaderboards.
