One to four people can play this game, which simulates a nine-hole course by displaying it, a hole at a time, as an aerial view.
Mode 3 resolution graphics is used to give a clear and colourful picture. Players with bad eyesight may have problems seeing the ball, though, since it only consists of a single dot!
When the ball is within putting distance of each hole, the aerial view is replaced by a close-up of the green. To aim at the hole, you specify the club number you want to use, a strength rating and the direction of the shot.
The need to specify a direction was, I thought, the game's weakest point. You have to provide an angle between 0 and 360 degrees, and this could be a problem to those who have difficulty with maths. But the program's Help facility will come to the rescue.
The program loaded easily and, though few written instructions are supplied, plenty of guidance is displayed by the program itself.
All in all, Golf is great fun. Though the course stays the same between games, a slight random factor means that you can never master it completely.
