To Wii or Not Wii, That is the Question?

Yes, that is one question one mother asks herself as she becomes addicted to the Wii she brought for her daughter. Alright, that mother is me. My daughter wanted one of these consoles that had everyone standing in lines for twenty four hours or more in all kinds of weather. So, she received one and I was concerned about managing her time and usage. However, lo and behold I am the one with the addiction. I love the Wii Game Console. It is much more interactive than other consoles and it is just plain fun!!! I do have a favorite and it is the Wii sports video game. I love Wii sports and have taken a liking to the golf section of this game. I really enjoy all the games on Wii sports but again, my favorite is the golf section. It made me start thinking, why don't I play real golf. Playing Wii Sports has given me a better understanding of the golf game and I felt like I would really enjoy the actual real game.

Alright, it is not quite the same. Yes, you may go ahead and laugh, chuckle or smirk, that I even thought that way, but I was not completely wrong. I went for a lesson and did understand the language, and the objective of golf. I felt more knowledgeable than if I had never played Wii Sports. I do need to actually practice in the real world to get better outside of the Wii game console; but I feel that playing the Wii actually helped me.

I am going to continue to play the Wii and Wii sports, and I am on to a new favorite, but I will be saving that for another conversation between you and I. I am now getting set up for Golf lessons and did find a great book that offered me some really helpful information. It is called Golf Beginners Guide and it gave me some great information from the history of Golf, to what type of equipment I needed and would be best for me to start with, rules of the game, different training that would help, when and where to take different shots, and yes, Golf etiquette.

I am grateful for both the Wii, Wii sports and for real golf and the patient instructors. I am going to keep on playing the Wii and Wii sports and learning the real game, however I may move on to playing the new Wii game Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09. Watch out Tiger, because here comes a hip happening Wii playing, Golf learning mama.

I am a mom, who has learned to love video games and whose sites http://everythingwiistore.com and http://everythinggolfstore.info are signs she is a hip and happening mom.
