How is it done ?

For regular play on most golf courses a greenkeeper will change the cups on the green to reflect a course set up of 6 easy, 6 medium difficulty, and 6 difficult positions on the greens. For tournament play the committee running the tournament will choose slightly more difficult pins than normal usually with input from the club pro. For professional tournaments positions are picked that reflect the amazing ability the pros have so a sadist will pick the positions.

in wii sports golf why doesn it putt correctly, why cant you hit it hard and why does bowling ball go left ?

its a good game but they could have made it more realistic by letting you hit it full strength without it going off course , in real golf just because you hit it hard it doesnt go off course, and since the controller is pretty sensitive why cant you putt as you would in the real game?

also why is the bowling ball biased to the left ?

Technically you can hit it full strength, that’d be the last possible area on the bar, it’s simulating when you put everything behind the swing and neglect which way it goes. But I digress, I don’t like the golf game.

Your question about bowling has already been answered. Anyone that has ever seriously bowled can tell you that righties throw with a left hook and lefties with a right hook. It’s the natural motion of the wrist. You should be throwing from or aiming for the right side of the lane (the side where your arm is) so it comes back into the "pocket" (the space between the 1 and the 3 pins). Experiment with different degrees of strength and hook (turn your wrist more or less).
