It's another one of these early golf games, just what I needed in my life. But this is quite a special one because it was MIA on the original World of Spectrum and it's been dug up from obscurity by the fine folks at Spectrum Computing. However they listed it as a 16K game and when I loaded it on 16K it was Out of Memory, so I loaded it on 48K and it's fine, so this is a 48K game and not 16K, I had just about had enough of this wrong machine type malarkey on World of Spectrum you know. Anyway, it exceeded my expectations and is actually pretty good. It's another text based golf game much like Virgin's Golf but it works so much better. The only issue was club selection and working out how many yards you are from the hole on your second shot etc, but the former can easily by sorted be screen-grabbing the club selection stats on your phone and working it out from there. So no I don't mind this, it is quite nice and I'm so happy it's been preserved into the Spectrum archive, I started this review with sarcasm and I end it with truth.
