This is one of the most ambitious golfing programs I have seen. The idea is you should move your little golfer around the course until you are in position and then strike the ball to the desired strength.

This sounds good but I found it extremely limiting and at times impossible. The golfer only looks to strike the ball one way which is great until you reach the edge of the screen or have to turn a corner then - although the instructions assure me it is possible - I couldn't get the ball to go the way I wanted.

In fact, using joysticks is not as good an idea as it might appear either. It is difficult to get the man exactly where you want him and to get the shot strength right too.

The courses have plenty of variation and are well displayed with close-ups of the greens. However, I had so much difficulty getting control of the game that all the interest these stirred was lost in my struggle with the ball.
