" The Next Best Thing GOLDEN TEE is a helluva bar game, but pushing a trackball is to golf what John Daly is to sit-ups. Real World Golf ($70; realworldgolf.com) for PS2, Xbox, and PC, though, is a video simulation that brings the sport&amp;#039;s real challenges into your den, for a fraction of what a splashy titanium driver will set you back. Donning gloves attached by an elastic string to a motion-capture box, players take a full golf swing with the included miniature club. The machine reads the club&amp;#039;s speed, swing path, and face angle, and shots fly correspondingly in real time on the virtual course. Real World Golf purports to improve your game and burn calories. But what it really has going for it is faithful simulation. I push-sliced a bunch of shots, my usual miss. Unlike golf proper, though, it&amp;#039;s forgiving enough to let rookies get their ball around the course. A round takes less than an hour, and you never have to worry about slow players in the group ahead. Up to four can compete, and the amusing, noncourse game modes include hitting shots onto virtual dartboards, through hoops, and, best of all, at the windows of a soulless office building.
