Menus! This game has glorious menus! I would love it if only for that fact. No need to twist your fingers into a knot trying to perform some task on the controller that only a seven-handed spider monkey could accomplish. Just press the “C” Button and that beautiful menu appears. Like looking at a sunset on a spring evening.

     And if that weren’t enough, it has dialog boxes that prompt you for any needed information. No need to memorize anything. It brings tears to my eyes.

     The game is definitely cheaper and easier to play than the real thing. No green fees, no clubs, and no snotty-nosed caddy that you have to tip even though he did nothing for you. No golf cart that you have to rent because the caddy has a “bad back”. No lawsuit from the caddy’s lawyer daddy because you asked the twerp to hand you the putter and he sprained his back again. No, just you, the wind and the choice of some great courses.

     One major problem with these games is that there is no correlation between the overhead view and the swing view. The game automatically points you to the center of the fairway, which is fine, except when the wind is blowing. Then you need to aim your swing left or right, but you can’t gauge the correct amount. You can’t aim on the overhead and you can’t see the fairway on the swing view. Am I asking for too much? Don’t you agree with me? I mean, I didn’t get sugar in my coffee this morning, there were no donuts left when I got to the office and the boss is screaming at me for something I didn’t do and all I want is to be able to aim a stupid white dot on a stupid computer screen. Am I asking for too much? I feel like going Postal!
