Golf sim that predated Leaderboard, and as you might expect, it doesn't come close to that nifty little number, neither in graphics, gameplay or general design. That said, it's by no means a heap of biggies. You have the standard choice of clubs, and you can regulate direction and strength. You'll have wind to contend with (That's your problem! Ed), but your only real difficulty is putting - there's no close-up facility so it's virtually impossible to be at all accurate. Nice try, but rendered obsolete by games that have followed.
