Flash Golf Games

Flash Golf Games can be played on a computer and even on your cell phone.  Flash adds complex animation, picture and sound quality to programmes, internet and games. Flash technology allows players to simulate the swing of a golf club by using a mouse, joystick or the buttons on a keyboard or keypad. Most online golfing, if they involve any type of animation at all, will require a Flash plugin - a small programme the user needs to download onto their PC or phone. If this software is not already on their gaming device, the site or application the online golfer has accessed will guide them to dowload it with ease.

Many popular golf gaming sites make use of flash technology. Because Flash is a popular and relatively easy programming tool, small time golf game developers can use Flash to enhance their gaming software. These fun and attractive games made by less well known developers are often called mini games. You can get free versions on certain websites, as well as downloadable versions. The mini games will not have the sponsorship available to larger, more established Flash Golf sites, but one can find certainly find quirky and enjoyable diversions among the myriad of Golf Mini Games available. Just keeping searching and trying out different Flash Golf games until you find one you can really get addicted to!

It is typical for a golf game that uses flash to require the user to hold down a button or key in order to maximise their swing - the longer they hold it the more powerful it becomes. The golf gamer will see their avatar (a virtual rendition of their player) pulling his or her club back to swing in perfect harmony with their key instruction. This can take a bit of getting used to. Many new golf gamers will really enjoy watching their avatar and the hard wack produced by holding down their key or button for a long time, whilst struggling with the finer co-ordination required for softer shot; needed once they are the virtual putting green. A common frustration is to overshoot those deliacte shots, it takes time to develop the precision needed to sink the ball. The velocity with which one will hit the golfball is often registered by a meter on the side of the screen, helping users refine their play strategy.

The one type of Golfing Game that often does not require Flash is Fantasy Golf, which has minimal animated play. Flash technology offers an interactive virtual golfing experience. Mini Golf, also known as Adventure Golf or Putt-Putt will often also require Flash programming in order to be played on a user's phone or computer.
