Now, in addition to the 3-clikc swing nethod all Links players are familiar with, you can elect to use your mouse to control the real time movement of your club. And, just like out on the greens, you will need to think about speed (how fast you move your mouse), tempo (how long you hold your club/mouse in the back swing), and direction (if you move a little, you'll slice your way down the standings). A real-time swing where the mouse is the club - now included in Links 2003.
