A machine code version of golf for one to four named players.

At the start of the game, you can choose the number of holes to be played. The holes are represented graphically and come in three types - easy, tough and very tough. On the harder levels you encounter sand traps and other natural hazards. At all levels, of course, there is the rough.

For each shot on the fairway you pick your club namely wood, iron or putter. For the wood and iron you must also pick the number. You must also decide which direction your shot will take, and this is based on a clock face. Once on the green you must choose both direction and distance.

You can slice the ball and get into all sorts of trouble. Once in the rough you have the options to play or lift. If you choose to lift the area around the ball becomes clear but you do lose two strokes. At the end of each hole, your score for that hole, the round and par for the course are displayed.

I have never played real golf and I am not an enthusiast but I thoroughly enjoyed this game. I might even become an addict yet.
