This one is named after a make and type of golf ball I believe and is Konami’s entry into the genre. All the major publishers had to have a golf game it seems. This plays slightly differently to others with a circular dot moving semi-randomly around the back of the golf ball to decide where you strike it and whether it hooks/slices. This works much better here than International Open Golf and isn’t a bad alternative. I’d expect Konami to be more arcadey but this game wants you to take your time, allowing the power bar to bounce back and forth before you commit to a choice. A bit light on the sound effects compared to other games and the ball hitting the grass sounds like a bass drum. You do get a reverse angle replay of each shot. Another playable golf game which isn’t quite up the standards of the best in the genre.
