3. PC Pro-Golf (1989) – CMA Software
This was supposed to be 1983’s Pro Golf Challenge. I didn’t find that (and suspect it never made it off the Apple II) but did find this entry from 1989 which was missing off the Mobygames list.
You would hope for a big step forward skipping all those years. It looks a little nicer but is essentially a combination of the first two games. We’re still on an overhead view. Type a club, pick a direction by moving a clock hand round a circle and choose how hard to hit until you get it in the hole. Every green is identical (looking rather like an old alarm clock to me). None of these games have any randomness at all so far from what I can tell which wouldn’t exactly have offered much longevity. I’m yet to see wind or sloping greens for that matter either.
