Golf in its earlier forms was a little crude. You didn't get the feel for the environment of the courses. The clubs felt a little more preprogrammed for their effectiveness, so it became more of a game of strategy of club selection rather than including some skill with aim and swing. This golf game was a little bit better.

Watch Mario as he walks out on the course. You have your selection of clubs and you can aim, but the game does a great job at failing you if you don't aim properly at a hole and providing more depth to the greens. The wind plays a big factor too. Maybe a little more than it should, but it was good for Nintendo's first attempt.

Golf is where all golf games have really evolved from. It has given a basis that worked for other companies to improve off of. I have to give this game respect for that.

  It's an OK game, but if you don't like, understand, or play the real sport, you probably won't like this one.
