If you’ve been paying any attention to the news lately it looks like it’s getting to the point where folks are going to have to actually do some work at their jobs in order to stay employed. Either way, apparently there’s a new web time sucker on the way with breakout potential: World Golf Tour.

World Golf Tour combines three elements that could prove irresistible to corporate slackers: (1) It puts you on world-class golf courses in stunning, high-definition color; (2) it streams the game through any garden-variety browser without extra downloads (which means you can play in your cubicle without running afoul of the corporate firewall); and (3) you’ll be able to play with your pals - to meet up for a virtual foursome or play in a league - from your desktop.

As a lover of golf video games, I’m looking forward to this. I’m too much of a wimp/responsible to play it at work, though.

Spread the word!
