Like I mentioned before as well I didn't like the putting aspect of it. If it's not included I wouldn't lose sleep over it. True aim is a much better option to have.
I can't speak from experience from the Wii's True View implementation, but I do know the one thing that intrigued me the most about Tiger Woods Online on the PC was its True View execution. It looks a lot like the PS3/360 version for the first 80-95% of its travel, then it switches to a downrange camera view, showing the ball reaching its destination. I say 80 to 95% because it does vary depending on the shot type.

I'm sure that a lot of True Aim purists will say that it spoils the first person perspective and the mystery of the shot's finish, and I can understand that. I feel like it's too much of mystery because of the limited field of vision the fixed perspective is capable of delivering, especially since it presumes that your golfer is frozen in his tracks from start to finish.

The point I'm trying to make is that it appears to me that EA Sports missed an opportunity to add an option for the Wii's True View and the PC's TWO True View. I know for a fact that I'd be using the PC's True View, versus the 360's True Aim camera, were I given that option. From what I've seen, the PC's True View wouldn't give the gamer an advantage over the True Aim player. I just love being given a since of completion by seeing the finish of the shot, after it's left my golfer's field of view.
