Massive patch coming to Planet Minigolf

More On: Planet Minigolf
Here's what I've been waiting for from Zen Studios: a huge patch that looks to address most of my issues with Planet Minigolf.  It will add a practice mode, restart hole option, new overview camera controls and a different putting mechanism.  It also adds PlayStation Move support, improved voice chat quality, and more.

There will also be a new DLC course called Stronghold Island (pictures and a video are below).  The DLC adds 36 new holes, 4 trophies, new course creator theme and objects as well as new tournaments.  All of this for a minimal price of $1.99.  That's enough reason for me to jump back into the game.  The patch and DLC for Planet Minigolf are out now in Europe but they'll hit North America on September 21.
