Golf has come to Second Life... close quote

I just downloaded Second Life for maybe the 4th time, still have yet to install it.

Quick Flash Intro

Your Second Life is Ready - Popular Science article

If you've hung around here in the cellar a while, you know I like to play Tiger Woods PGA Tour golf on my computer. Ironic, eh? Golf, in "real life" a game for the rich, the "well off" or at least those willing to sacrifice other expenses and time commitments. Not exactly for the usual tuber suspects. Oh well, it's diverting from being engaged with all the depressing "real life" junk.

Anyway, after playing Tiger quite a bit online against other live players from around the world, maybe I'm just afraid of how immersive Second Life could get.

So, I just wondered if there's any golf in Second Life. Whaddya know! They call it Flog. Uh-oh, maybe I really shouldn't install the game.

Now, Tiger Woods has a great interface for creating and customizing the look of your golfer, but it pales beside Second Life, where you don't even have to be human. Although, for golf, it might help to have at least two hands... =8^b

Second Life is also great if you're into 3-D modelling. For instance, Suzanne Vega gave a concert in Second Life, but needed a guitar modded up. Here's a video of the process.
