A decent game. It would have benefitted greatly from some green close-ups, though.

If you want to play a really good round of golf on Intellivision, get
Chip Shot Super Pro Golf instead. Still, the old standby
PGA Golf wasn't too bad. Sound was virtually nonexistent.

Two different versions of this game exist. Most of the copies I've seen are
the original version. The ROM variant, which exists in both blue and white
label versions, adds a new feature: if you press the <enter> key on the
keypad, the distance to the hole and par for the hole appear on the screen. I
do not know if the documentation was ever altered to indicate this feature.
Par and Distance ROM variant
A total of nineteen PGA Golf manual variants have been documented.

Did this version of Golf introduce the fundamental notion of how golf swings are simulated in games? |
