Description official descriptions
Access' long line of golf simulations started with Leader Board. Hold down the fire button to set the pace, then press it for hook and slice if needed. Greens are sloped, so be sure to factor this in. Four 18-hole courses are provided, and a 4-round match can consist of any combination of these, with up to 4 players joining in.
There are three skill levels - novice players just have to hit the ball at the right speed in the right direction with the right club. Amateurs must be precise with the snap, to set the desired level of hook or slice - conventional wisdom in golf is to work on eliminating it first, then adding it back in - while the professional level also adds wind fluctuations.

The Good
Really nice details. The physics of the ball bouncing around is excellent. The animation of the golfer is excellent ….the sound effects while sparse sound realistic.
The Bad
The original courses only had water as the main hazard. I believe that’s fixed in later expansions.
The Bottom Line
A finely polished golf game with excellent details. Still fun today.
