You begin taking lessons on how to use approach shots, power shots, and learn the mechanics of the game slowly and steadily. Taking these lessons grants you experience points that you can then use to boost your skills, just like Advance Tour (AT was functionally just a remake of this game, remember). Once you have more stats, you can then choose to start entering tournaments, or challenging the club pros to a 1 on 1 match. In between all these main events are little side areas with crazy win conditions. You can stumble upon a course that has become completely overgrown and combines two holes into one, and you have to try and navigate this oversized hole full of only rough and deep rough and still make par. There is a Par 3 course that makes you hit all the greens and sink every putt to win. There is a club maker that can create new equipment for you to better fit your playstyles. Win all the tourneys and beat all the pros, and youll eventually get to challenge the man himself: Mario. All said, this game was way ahead of its time. The story isnt anything to write home about, but its still kinda crazy to think that 90s Nintendo had the guts to try something like this, when their only previous golf game was just a sit down and play barebones experience with 3 whole courses. I bought this when it came out on 3DS Virtual Console and played through it all again, and it still holds up as a fantastic golf game experience. As the resident golf expert, I recommend this game whole-heartedly. --- Xbox GT/PSN name/Nintendo ID: TatteredUniform http://www.scuffletown.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/tRBE1.gif <cite>MrSmartGuy posted [p:949994258] in The Board ...
