#42: PGA Tour Golf



Adam is in town visiting for Lounge Day and I saw it as a perfect opportunity to avoid playing another bad golf game! Woo!
FUZZY!
PGA Tour Golf had the interesting take of having actual pro golfers commenting on the holes you're playing beforehand and giving advice to the player. It had little pictures of their faces that looked like them, too. I imagine EA had a deal with the PGAPA or whatever it may have been back then. As much as I may think EA is a terrible company nowadays they really had it together back in the day. Their sports division, anyway!

SPLASH!
The game has 4 courses, which appear to be real courses. Adam played at Sawgrass, and can be seen here on the infamous 17th hole. Hitting the ball right into the pond, just like the pros!


The game actually seemed pretty reasonable. It did a good overview of the hole beforehand, without lagging too much. It showed a good green gradiency, again without lagging. Club selection, a viewfinder, a good hit meter... It actually looked like a very solid golf game, if you like golf games.
