From the outside, golf can seem like a boring pastime designed for aging men in ugly pants. And actually, it can probably be seen that way from the inside as well. Regardless, the once-dreary sport becomes universally appealing with the right number of adorable characters. And that's where Mario Golf: World Tour comes in. Nintendo's return to the back nine brings with it the familiar arcade-style golfing the series is known for, and while it doesn't bring much new to the franchise, the dependable quality of the sports action warrants setting up a tee time.

The Mario Golf series long ago defined how fun simplified golfing gameplay can be, and World Tour gets back onto the fairway with ease. Swinging the club and sending the ball forth takes just three quick button presses, and it's this rhythm--swing after undemanding swing--that pushes you forward, driving you to best your previous scores. Add in a few easily performed advanced techniques--curving your shot or adding spin--and what you're left with is an undeniably engrossing experience. That said, this series found its sweet spot years ago, and World Tour doesn't mess with that formula at all. It's good gameplay, but at this point, heavily trodden gameplay as well.

Castle Club is the primary single-player experience you'll have open to you from the beginning, and it provides a fun, yet intense, tournament setting. Sure, you'll have a chance to practice your swing around the clubhouse, but it's the three 18-hole courses where you'll be spending most of your time. Those lengthy tournaments get pretty harrowing, and the drama is increased with the comical, impressively involved character animations that each golfer uses to emote frustration or elation. But after the credits roll on the final course, the game is just ramping up, thanks to a wealth of unlockable courses and items.

The premier post-game tournament content is the special bonus courses, and that’s where Mario Golf is at its best and worst. Here you find six themed fairways, with nine holes apiece, and you really get a sense of the creativity in the Mario Golf series. The underwater areas have unpredictable physics, you avoid massive Koopas on a level inspired by Mario’s many oversized worlds, and Donkey Kong’s stage has dangerous obstacles lifted directly from the ape’s tricky platforming titles. It’s all enjoyably unique because these stages make it feel more thematically like a Mario title, giving World Tour a chance to get creative instead of simply relying on the strength of its well-established gameplay.

All those Mario-specific areas are great, but they’re geared towards brevity, not the epic battles of the tournaments. The six special courses are nine holes long instead of the standard 18 that the starter courses lead players to assume they’d get when opening up a new course. No doubt some will feel shortchanged, as if the game doesn't fully commit to the clever gameplay concepts it introduces with each course. Then again, six sets of nine holes offers up more design possibilities than three sets of 18. Ultimately, the special courses are enough for hours of fun, but it’s hard not to imagine something more.

Playing every course in the game is your main goal, but there are a host of side challenges that extend your time with World Tour. Challenges take place on the three 18-hole courses, and introduce special rules like collecting coins, setting high scores, or completing under a set time. New unlockable items and themed courses come fast and furious when you're playing through this mode, alleviating any notion that these modes are simply filler. How could that last putting section be unnecessary when it rewards you with a sweet pair of shoes for your Mii?

Getting a spiffy pair of cleats is nice, and it’s even better when you earn them in the well-executed multiplayer modes. Playing Mario Golf either locally or online presents numerous options that range from a quick few holes to a lengthy tournament, all with friendly options for trash talk. By Nintendo standards, the online action is shockingly current, featuring leaderboards, asynchronous play, and enough DLC to warrant a season pass. The only real downside to multiplayer is that it doesn’t allow for single-cart play, making this one of those rare 3DS games that you can only enjoy with those who also own the game.

Mario Golf: World Tour is competent at its worst and excellent at its best. It keeps its gameplay tight and approachable, looks great in stereoscopic 3D, and finally has a modernized approach to online multiplayer. This isn’t a hole-in-one, but it stays under par throughout--and the fact that I can’t stop using golf terminology is proof that World Tour is at least an eagle in my book.

Mario Golf: World Tour may lack innovation, but it provides easy-to-grasp golfing fun and a slew of unique stages. It's a solid game that will keep you coming back for more.

Mario Golf: World Tour Review

• First Released May 2, 2014 released

By Stace Harman on April 25, 2014 at 11:44AM PDT

Mario Golf: World Tour deftly illustrates the pleasures of a humble game of golf: the careful ritual of checking the speed of the wind, assessing the lie of the ball, and puzzling over the perfect club for the job at hand. Its disjointed structure makes it less accessible than it should be, but this is a game built upon the simple satisfaction of golf mixed with the goofy charm of Nintendo's most popular mascots, and for the most part, it succeeds in delivering an endearing and fun experience.

There is, however, a disconnect between the "serious" side of Mario Golf and its all-out wacky side, and it's largely down to how the game is split into two distinct areas, which quickly come to feel at odds with one another. The first is the Castle Club, where you play exclusively as your Mii against the backdrop of a lavish country club. There you're free to mingle with the familiar Nintendo faces wandering the halls, shop at the boutique, visit the gym, and partake in a spot of tea in the Royal Room, but there's no real interaction permitted with Mario and Co, who exist only as NPCs in this mode. The castle and its cast are twee in a way that only Mario and friends can be, but Castle Club mode also serves a practical purpose, with its grounds playing host to a number of practice courses, handicap tournaments, and ad hoc challenges that teach you the basics of play.

Castle Club is where you find the game's three "serious" courses--Forest, Seaside, and Mountain--each of which hosts a tournament that must be won to progress to the next. Unfortunately, these courses are largely forgettable, particularly in comparison to the game's more exotic, themed offerings, and none of them feature the challenging layouts or undulating greens that seasoned video game golf players might hope for. I had little desire to return to any of them after winning each of the 18-hole tournaments, and the manner in which you're forced to unlock each tournament in order feels unnecessarily restrictive.

More troubling, though, is how Castle Club is an entirely separate entity from World Tour's more arcade-style offers in Mario Golf. A comprehensive series of practice sessions explain how elevation, ball lie, and wind affect shot selection. But while the challenges on offer at the Castle Club highlight the importance of skillful play, the courses unlocked in Mario Golf mode can be won and lost through the use of power-ups and novelty items, which is jarring after being taught the sport in a more serious manner. Still, once you've got to grips with the likes of Bullet Bills, Bob-ombs, and speed pads, courses like the candy-hued Peach Gardens and the coral-decorated underwater holes of Cheep Cheep Lagoon provide some thoroughly entertaining and humorous moments.

There's a satisfying sense of improvement across the game as a whole as you start to grasp the mechanics and begin experimenting with spin, draw and fade, and variable carry distances. Its basic three-button-press system sees the familiar use of a power bar to set the strength of the shot, and a sweet spot to land a perfect swing. It's a simple system, and because you're also given a generous degree of leeway, you rarely go too far off target. While this means you can confidently tackle more nuanced approach shots and delicate chips, it greatly reduces the element of risk; straying over par due to poor play is a rare occurrence.

The sheer charm of World Tour and its collection of classic Nintendo characters and environmental details go a long way towards keeping you entertained, though. There's a 12-strong cast of familiar faces to play as in Mario Golf mode, including the likes of the always lovable Mario and Luigi. Seeing them compete in a clutch of fun single-player modes that include stroke and match play, speed golf against the clock, and point play while they spout their classic catchphrases never fails to raise a smile.

It helps that there's lots to do too. There are versus options, numerous tournaments, and a series of challenges, some of which test your skill while others focus heavily on the use of power-ups. Sending your ball floating through the air over longer distances, or skimming across a handily placed speed pads feel great, at least once you've figured out what you're supposed to be doing with them. Challenges that incorporate them include completing a series of holes while hitting the ball through oversized rings, smacking moles out the ground, using a random selection of clubs, or competing against one of the 12 AI characters to unlock his or her Star Player equivalent (a more powerful but trickier to control version of the basic character).

Every round that you complete--be it in tournament play or in challenges--earns you coins to spend on gear and equipment in the castle boutique. Clubs, balls, and attire can be purchased to tweak your Mii's appearance as well as basic power and control stats, which is often helpful in getting past a particularly tricky shot, should you get stuck. It's a shame that World Tour isn’t easier to navigate, though. For all the effort that's gone into creating a central thematic hub with the Castle Club, having to back out of it to play a few rounds in Mario Golf mode feels unnecessarily cumbersome. Having everything accessible in one place rather than having to travel back and forth via the main menu screen would have made the game much more coherent.

Mario Golf: World Tour revels in power-ups and fantastical courses, while frequently breaking its offerings into a series of portable-friendly bite-sized chunks that have you flitting from one exotic course to another. There's a lot of fun to be had here, and with classic Nintendo characters backing up the action, World Tour is a thoroughly charming game too. What a shame, then, that it lacks the cohesion and refinement to make those sometimes-brilliant moments easier to digest and access. But if you can plough through the awkwardness, and get to grips with its seemingly endless array of powerups, you'll find an enjoyable and loveable game of golf.

Editor's Note: Online functionality was unavailable at the time of review. Online modes available at launch will be versus and tournament play with friends, local territory, and worldwide player bases.

Mario Golf: World Tour will ship with online multiplayer and a focus on community play, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata announced today in a Nintendo Direct event.

The 3DS golf game will include real-time online and asynchronous, score based tournaments and "large scale tournament competitions" with scoreboards. Iwata also said that Mario Golf: World Tour will include community play features, which he likened to those in Mario Kart 7 .

"This game will also use the community feature that so many of you have used in Mario Kart 7, that will allow you to connect and play with like-minded players or create and recruit players to communities based on particular themes," Iwata said.

Mario Golf: World Tour 's multiplayer community features will allow players to set up conditions for joining matches, like matches with traditional golf rules or tournaments scheduled at specific times as they compete against players "all over the world."

Mario Kart: World Tour will also feature local multiplayer and is headed to the Nintendo 3DS in summer 2013.

Toad Highlands

Toad Highlands (stylized as Toad HighLands ) is a golf course in Mario Golf for the Nintendo 64 . The course is near the mountains of the Mushroom Kingdom and may even be directly on them. This course (and therefore the mountains) belongs to Toad , hence the name. Being the first course in the game, it offers a basic design without any gimmicks, but does have small amounts of water hazards and bunkers. This course must be played first in order to unlock Koopa Park , as it is the only default course in the game.

This course was also remade as a downloadable course in Mario Golf: World Tour for Nintendo 3DS . This version of the course features Toad-shaped hedges and Toad Houses . It also features modernized music and graphics.

Ex-Kansas star Mario Chalmers latest to take aim at NCAA as crippling lawsuits mount despite House settlement

Chalmers v. ncaa is one of multiple lawsuits targeting the ncaa, potentially devastating the institution.

Facing a crowded convention hall last month hanging on his every word, NCAA president Charlie Baker said what the attendees at the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics came to hear: The settlement in the  House vs. NCAA case had " put things behind us ."

Well, at least for a few weeks it turns out. A series of lawsuits that could conceivably cripple the NCAA by their sheer volume and potential damages have struck again. 

Where have we heard that before?

A new antitrust lawsuit seeking ongoing NIL rights for men's basketball players from the 1997, 2008, 2011 and 2014 national champions, filed Monday, is seeking unspecified damages. It follows a similar complaint last month from the NC State national champions from 40 years ago.

The sheer scope of the actions puts those championships in a whole new light. The suit,  Chalmers v. NCAA,  essentially states that Kansas ' Mario Chalmers' game-tying shot in the national title of the 2008 NCAA Tournament against Memphis has been hijacked for profit on the NCAA.com website . 

It doesn't stop there. The Power Five and Big East are also included in the suit for using images from former stars Sherron Collins (Kansas), Jason Terry ( Arizona ) and Ryan Boatright (UConn). There are 16 players in all. Other names may be added. 

And you thought the NCAA had achieved cost certainty with House . Ha! The association's legal liability is merely getting hitched up to a different train headed off a different cliff. 

Remember, it was only six weeks ago the NCAA and its conferences agreed to that settlement, which will pay former athletes $2.7 billion in back damages over the next decade. The schools also agreed to implement revenue-sharing. When opted into, it is expected to provide as much as $22 million per year to athletes.  

"If the proposed settlement is accepted, it will bind the NCAA and all the schools in D-I for the next 10 years," Baker told that same NACDA crowd last month. 

He forgot the part about his organization being a courtroom piñata for just about anything these days. Meanwhile, Pandora has been tapped on the shoulder in Chalmers v. NCAA . In Greek mythology, her box was a metaphor for great misfortune. 

Using a sports metaphor, it's called piling on. In this case, what's to keep any former roster of national champions from filing similar complaints? The answer is even more chilling for the NCAA. The case was filed as a class-action, which means all players from that period could be added. 

"The NCAA has for decades leveraged its monopoly power to exploit student-athletes from the moment they enter college until long after they end their collegiate careers," the Chalmers complaint reads. 

Similar words have been included lately in almost every antitrust action against the NCAA and Power Five. By this point, it doesn't necessarily matter if the complainants even have a case. They have the means, and anything that drains the NCAA of its financial will is significant at this point in history. The NCAA's bank statement has certainly been nicked already, having faced  $61.5 million in legal expenses in fiscal year 2023, according to USA Today. Since 2014, that total is $433 million. 

At what point does the membership's patience run out when the association is averaging $1.18 million in legal expenses per week ? Ten years? At this rate, the NCAA will run out of money to plug all the dikes in 10 months. 

You'd think the NCAA learned its lesson after O'Bannon, Alston, House and the conga line of legal entanglements that has gotten it to this point.  

How could the NCAA not address this issue, especially after crowing about legal certainty in House ? (It is a settlement, by the way, that has yet to be approved.) Chalmers vs. NCAA looks a lot like that O'Bannon case that started this merry-go-round 15 years ago. In both cases, plaintiffs argued the NCAA used athletes' likeness for commercial gain without the players' permission.

You'd think the first thing the NCAA has to do is remove the highlights in question. As of publish, Chalmers' game-tying shot against Memphis in the 2008 championship game can be seen on NCAA.com with an advertisement for Invesco QQQ. 

As for Chalmers himself in real time, the 38-year-old former NBA veteran and Kansas hero is playing in Ice Cube's BIG3, still hitting big shots.

Maxwell Moldovan highlights field for 2024 Ohio Open Golf Championship at Westfield

WESTFIELD CENTER — Newly turned professional Maxwell Moldovan and 11 returning champions highlight the 288-golfer field for the 103rd Ohio Open , which begins Monday at Westfield Country Club's North and South courses. 

The 54-hole, stroke-play event, conducted by the Northern Ohio PGA, runs through Wednesday. A cut of the top 60 and ties will occur after the second round.

The 22-year-old Moldovan recently ended an outstanding four-year career at Ohio State, helping the Buckeyes to a tie for third place in the NCAA championships. A four-time All-Big Ten selection and two-time All-American, Moldovan owns the lowest career scoring average (71.25) in Ohio State history. 

The Green High School product has played two events on the PGA Americas Tour so far, missing the cut in both. He played in his third straight U.S. Open when he competed at Pinehurst No. 2 two weeks ago. 

Among the 11 returning Ohio Open champions are reigning champ Michael Balcar and Lake High School alum Jake McBride. 

Balcar, a Toledo native and Cleveland State graduate, shot a 14-under 196 last year to set a scoring record for Ohio Opens at Westfield. He was one stroke better than Cade Breitenstine, a Green High School and Kent State graduate. 

McBride, who played collegiately at North Carolina State, won the 2021 Ohio Open by beating Northwest High School and Malone University product Justin Lower on the first playoff hole. Lower, a two-time Ohio Open winner (2012, 2015), now is in his third season playing on the PGA Tour. 

Other notables in the field this year are reigning Ohio Amateur champion Andrew Bailey; three-time Ohio Open champ and five-time Ohio Senior Open winner Bob Sowards; three-time Ohio Open champ Rob Moss; and the most recent back-to-back winner, Stephen Gangluff (2018-19). 

Three women also will tee it up in the event. They are Tannenhauf Golf Club head professional Mary Suitca, Northern Kentucky head coach Melissa Yeazell and 2023 OHSAA Division I state runner-up Isabella Goyette from Highland.

The U.S. Open isn’t the only major that features the emotion of a one-day 36-hole final qualifier.

As the name implies, the Open Championship conducts open qualifying, albeit on a much smaller scale than its American counterpart. Four 36-hole final qualifiers were held across Scotland and England Tuesday as some of the game’s biggest names (including several LIV golfers) and those lesser-known tried to earn their way into the 152nd Open later this month at Royal Troon .

Just four spots were available at each qualifier making for 16 spots in all.

Keep reading below for a rundown of each site including qualifying players, notables who failed to qualify and more.

‘You’re always right’: Sergio Garcia scolds officials in failed Open qualifying attempt

Notables who failed to qualify: Sergio Garcia Carlos Ortiz Richard Mansell

Things to know:

– Sergio Garcia was attempting to qualify for his 100th major but had a testy exchange with officials on the 8th hole of his first round after his group was put on the clock. He missed the cut by two shots after rounds of 71-70.

Sergio Garcia furious at his slow play warning at Final Open Qualifying – saying fans are causing the delays. Here he is taking his anger out at two R&A officials. “You’re right, we’re always wrong.” pic.twitter.com/hO2mzYgSRa — Ben Parsons (@_benparsons) July 2, 2024

– Ortiz, a LIV Golf winner earlier this year, did not play in a major this season and has only played in one since joining LIV Golf in 2022.

Royal Cinque Ports 4 spots available

Qualifiers: Matthew Southgate, -6 Elvis Smylie, -3 Jamie Montojo Fernandez Luis Masaveu* (a), -2

*Advanced via a 3-for-1 playoff

Notables who failed to qualify: Branden Grace Eugenio Lopez-Chaccara Thomas Detry

– Southgate, who finished T6 at Royal Birkdale in 2017, will play his second-straight Open after not playing between 2018 and 2023.

– Both Luis Masaveu and Jaime Montojo Fernandez play out of the same club in Madrid, Royal Club La Moraleja

– On the second playoff hole, Masaveu won the final spot by making about a 25-foot birdie putt from outside his competitors, which included Grace.

– Grace has not played any majors this year and has played in two since joining LIV Golf in 2022. He was the first golfer ever to shoot 62 in a major, doing so at the 2017 Open Championship.

Dundonald Links 4 spots available

Qualifiers: Sam Hutsby, -8 Angel Hidalgo, -5 Liam Nolan (a) Jack McDonald*, -4

Notables who failed to qualify: Peter Uhlein Robert Rock (Retired)

– Angel Hidalgo needed to birdie his final hole Tuesday to get in a playoff. He did one better by holing his second shot from 120 yards to assure his spot in the Open Championship.

Unbelievable scenes here. Angel Hidalgo has just HOLED OUT with a wedge on his 36th hole of the day to get to five-under and surely book his place in the Open. Needed an eagle on the par-4 and made it. Sensational. pic.twitter.com/zLJVvDRjsf — Lewis Fraser (@lewisfras98) July 2, 2024

Burnham and Berrow 4 spots available

Qualifiers: Justin Rose, -8 Dominic Clemons (a) Abraham Ancer*, -5 Charlie Lindh*

*Advanced out of 3-for-2 playoff

Notables who failed to qualify: Anirban Lahiri Justin Harding Preston Summerhays (a) (WD)

– Rose was forced to head to final qualifying after falling out of the OWGR top 50 in March and being unable to get back in before the Open cutoff in May, after the Charles Schwab Challenge. He overcame a 12th hole double in his second round to finish as a co-medalist.

“There was obviously huge motivation,” he told the R&A’s Final Qualifying Radio. “The Open has been a bit of a fairytale and love story for me since I was 14, to be honest with you.

“The Open has always been super special and you can kind of take it for granted. As you get a little older, things get harder and in a way I think it’s a good thing to happen (having to qualify) as it makes you appreciate how special it is.”

– Abraham Ancer is the lone LIV golfer to advance to Royal Troon through final qualifying.
