PGA Tour Golf Details - LaunchBox Games Database

Overview

PGA Tour Golf introduced many of the conventions commonly seen in the genre since. The three-click control method (the first to start the swing, the second setting power and over-swing, the third setting draw or fade) allowed for a multitude of different shots, and required a sense of timing. Four courses are included, one of them a fantasy 'links' course designed by the programmers (the others being TPC Sawgrass, TPC Avenel, PGA West) . Some of the holes are fiendish, with bunkers, water hazards and trees, and the need to plan strategies to get the best approach to the green. When playing a tournament there are 60 opponents, each representing top US golfers - ten of these appear in the game, with one providing tactical advice for each hole. Later on a tournament disk was released, including Southwind, Scottsdale and Eagle Trace.
