  What Wii Sports Resort SHOULD Have Been

  If you love minigame collections like Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort, you'll love this game. If not, then there is no point in reading further.I'll start off with a few logistics. You only need your Wii remote and nunchuk, the balance board and zapper are optional and don't really affect the game play. You can use your Mii Avatar and even though it says you cannot use your Mii's glasses, it actually does let you. You can also register a dog companion if you choose.Now this game has a lot of similarities to Wii Sports Resort even going as far as to having some of the same games. In some cases, you'll find the Resort to be better (such as sky diving) and in other cases, Vacation to be better (such as with jet skiing).When you start playing the game, you will start off at Marine Resort, where you are given the task of completing Stamp Dash where you must play a specific game and getting a stamp for it. You must collect 20, 10 of which must come from... 5/5 Just ME "Mixed Girl" - See all my reviews = Fun:, October 11, 2011

  Go Vacation - Time to dust off your balance board!

  This is an impressive game for the money. Since the other reviews so far haven't really addressed the Balance Board - I will focus my review on that. If you enjoyed the skiing in Wii Fit, you will like this game. Many activities in the game give the option of using the BB. I think in most cases, it makes the activity more difficult, but if you're looking for a game that makes you want to dust off the BB and use it - this is it. Some games are similar to Wii Fit like Ski Jumping and Skiing. However, they take things to a new level with some of the games. Many activities use it (some better than others) - Wheel Slider and Dog Sledding are two of my favorites. Others include Grind master, in line skating, slalom skiing, snow board, snow tubing, sidewinder, jet ski, half pipe, skateboard, surfing, paragliding, and pie thowing.One thing that is unique in this game is that you can just put on some skates and just exlore the entire city resort (or other gear at the other... 5/5 Diane (Iowa) - See all my reviews = Fun:, November 3, 2011

  Go Vacation! Love it!

  I really LOVE this game! My friend and I have been playing off and on for a couple weeks and have gotten maybe 1/2 the treasures and minigames under my belt...yet there is still so much to do! We're in our 40s and thoroughly enjoy it...and her 4 year old loves to play, too! It's actually the 1st game she can get around in and actually accomplishes stuff! It's challenging yet simple! It's very entertaining and I always find something new/cool every time I play. I've even taken to drawing my own maps of the resorts so I can keep track of where things are and what I've found! Have you found the alien spaceship yet?! Comment if you get stuck on finding something, maybe I can help.

  Light and Bright

  UPDATE: 4/2/13: Well I have had the chance to use these glasses on the course and my initial review stands. I'm very satisfied. These definitely brighten things up but still filter out the glare. Also, these are the first sunglasses I've found to be comfortable to wear when I putt. I know I know - that is the idea right? They are called 'greenreader' sunglasses afterall. But still, I thought it was worth saying it out loud. also, the price on Amazon seems to have dropped dramatically on these so what was a decent deal when I bought this past off season seems like a great deal to me right now at $9.95. Get them ... very lightweight and comfortable, and brightens things up considerably without distorting.===============These are extremely light fitting sunglasses which will be great for when I'm playing golf.

  Lightweight

  These are great glasses for hazy, cloudy days on the golfcourse. I really do not know whether they improve your reading of greens, but they protect your eyes from chilly air and give some protection. Although they do not fit as well as my Oakleys, they are comfortable enough and don't slip. I would buy them in other colors. 4/5 megliocomprare - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

  Good value

  The glasses are as advertised and come with many useful accessories, plus a certificate for a pair of sunglasses for a minimal charge. They reduce eye strain for me, are extremely comfortable and provide good eye area protection while shooting. Years ago I had an expensive pair of B & L/ Calloway golf glasses that did show golf green detail better, but they broke after six uses and were over $100, making these glasses a superior value to me. I will order more in the future. 4/5 Honest Abe (New York State) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

  Emerald Greens: The Essential Guide to Golf Vacations in Ireland

  Book (Interlink Publishing Group)
  

  Rating (4 reviews):

  (3.5/5)

  

  A charming and informative work

  It is not often that you pick up a book about golf courses and find it hard to put down. This inspirational book is well researched both in terms of the Golf courses and the local history, geography etc, but it's strength lies in the author's ability to convey her own evident passion for the subject by weaving these strands together to give an evocative picture of the places and give you a feel for the rich culture and history. I am a keen 10 handicap golfer and have visited Ireland many times over a number of years, this book really captures the charm of playing golf in Ireland. This will be the second thing I pack on my next trip - after the golf clubs of course. 5/5 Andy Chapman (London England) - See all my reviews This review is from: Emerald Greens: The Essential Guide to Golf Vacations in Ireland (Paperback) It is not often that you pick up a book about golf courses and find it hard to put down.

  The author writes back

  I am sorry the reader from Los Altos was disappointed with "Emerald Greens" but I set out to write a book that featured terrific golf courses that are not on the package tour route and that can be played for less than £50 sterling. It was also intended for the non-golfing companions of golfers and for golfers who like to discover something of the country in which they are playing and who take time to "smell the flowers." That's why I describe castles and gardens and scenic drives and tell you the names of the mountains you can see while you're playing or just driving between courses. The famous links at Ballybunion, Lahinch, Royal Portrush and Portmarnock can't be played for less than £50 at any time of the year. Neither can famous parkland courses like the K Club and Druid's Glen.

First, it's a travel book and I just couldn't ignore the stunning lack of pictures-especially of the courses.

  Solid performance, loaded with features

  I've only had this for about a week, but so far I am very impressed. This is the first major purchase for me without reading a review. I waited several weeks but couldn't find one review, so I bought based on its features and on the consistently high Sony camcorder reviews. I'm actually not a fan of Sony, but they seem to make the best camcorder in this price rage. As you can see by the specs, this camera has just about every feature you could want and more so I won't go into the feature set. Yes, I wish it had a viewfinder but those are pretty rare these days. The touch screen isn't very responsive but it gets the job done. The video quality is outstanding. Initially I was disappointed until I realized the default factory setting was LP mode. Once you set is at the highest resolution you will be amazed. The stated recording time of 11 hours is based on the LP mode; the highest resolution recording time with the internal memory is about 2:45.The USB cable built... 5/5 Jeffrey Myers (Concord, ca USA) - See all my reviews, April 1, 2013
