WORDS FROM THE AUTHOR

There was some challenging self-modifying code to deal with, as a draw
routine for the 3D view rewrites a number of its instructions repeatedly as
it builds up the frame.

The game overwrites the music samples during the intro as it loads the rest
of the game. I've at least fixed this if you keep watching the intro, but
if you skip the intro then the samples will glitch.

It's actually a fairly reasonable golf game, although the physics are quite
shonky which makes it difficult to play. Alas, releasing in 1991 meant it
was unsurprisingly overshadowed by the superior PGA Tour Golf.

Enjoy! :-)
