About the Story

Stand steady at the tee... head down... slow backswing. Now, drive your tee shot 220 yards down the fairway, splitting a pair of sandtraps. Loft a five iron onto the green. And sink a twenty foot putt for a birdie!

You control the swing and aim throughout 9 championship quality holes. The fairways and greens are beautifully manicured, but the sand traps are deep... and the rough is... rough!

Editorial Reviews

SPAG
[...] A halfway Z-abuse (not completely ASCII art-based like Z-snake, for
example), Textfire Golf also incorporates an interesting storyline for a
quick 9-hole game of golf. What makes this game really work though, is
the arcade-like feature of being able to control your ball's pace and
trajectory. [...]

Arcade IF, September 7, 2008

by Maze (Rome, Italy)

This is a rare example of arcade IF. You have to play a 9 holes golf course, against 3 other opponents. You choose the club, and you control power and direction (via a cursor which moves on screen, while you have to press SPACE at the right/desired moment). In it's way, it's curious and well done.
There is some story background, though minimal. And, being an Adam Cadre game, you might want to try different commands, other than shooting the ball. Many of them will have you laugh (showing the *famous* Cadre's cruel humor - which I love), and leave you craving to find all the possible ones - though there aren't many. Don't forget to check the "about the author" option in the beginning.
Definitely worth a try.
