Online Golf Game Allows Players To Compete With Friends And Win Real Cash Prizes

April 29, 2009 - PRLog -- CHICAGO—The grass just got a lot greener for casual gamers.
Skill Technology, an independent game studio, just announced that their first online game, Gimme Golf, is now out of beta and ready for the world to play. Best of all, anyone can log in and start playing the game for free now!

The Skill Tech team has spent the past 6 months building exciting new features and patching up game bugs, based on feedback from the 1,000+ players that participated in the closed-beta.

One of the most exciting additions is the ability to compete in ten-person, cash tournaments. In these tournaments, prizes are awarded for first and second place, and for special accomplishments such as sinking the longest putt. Once a tournament is filled, a new one is immediately opened, allowing players to compete for cash around the clock.

“We’ve always been proud of how fun the game is, and thanks to the patience and support of our beta community, the game has reached a new level of refinement,” said Jeff Clapper, president, Skill Technology. “We’re excited to finally launch the completed game.”

Additionally, Gimme Golf supports multi-player online games which allow players to compete against one to three friends or other players online. Multi-player games offer live chat and real time score updates. There’s also a single player option that offers players the opportunity to practice by themselves before diving into the competition.

New players should expect to spend about 45 minutes on a round of 18, though more experienced players can complete 18 holes in about 20 minutes – perfect for a weekday lunch break. There’s also a stop-and-start function that allows players to come back to their game throughout the week from any online PC.

To get started, there’s a simple one-step registration process at gimmegolf.com The game includes four courses of varying difficulty and lush graphics, plus four avatars with distinct skills and back stories.
