Leader Board Tournament

There have been golf games for almost as long as there have been computers, but there has never been a golf game like Leader Board. Never before has the sport once described as "a great way to ruin a walk", been so accurately simulated.

Everything about Leader Board impresses from the perspective view of the course, taken from just behind the golfer, to the variety of holes found across the four courses in the original game, and the additional four for Tournament players. You can even choose the level of difficulty that you'll play at, so novices can get straight into it!

Up to four people can take part and about the only feature of the real thing that isn't included is the torrential thunderstorm that sends you scurrying back to the clubhouse. Even if you don't normally like sports simulations, you should take a look at this.
