PDGA Presents Disc Golf

Autonomous Productions is working on a WiiWare disc golf game, and they seem pretty committed to making it authentic.  From an interview with 1000 Rated:

SHAYNE: MotionPlus has changed what we can do. Unfortunately, the Wiimote doesn’t currently have a gyroscope sensor built in; only an accelerometer. MotionPlus actually adds the gyrometer. A lot can be done with an accelerometer, but the quality of the accelerometer data degrades the faster the hand is moving and it’s just not enough data to precisely support the various throwing motions that are natural for disc golf players.
