[INTRO],INTR001.11a
Hi.~ I'm Gary Player.~
And this is The Golf Pro.~
It's very different from any golf simulation you will ever have played before . . . ~~because you actually hit the ball . . .~~
using your mouse just like a golf club.~~~
~
That's why The Golf Pro is special . . .~~
~
By the end of this lesson you'll have learned how to hit your first golf strokes.~~
~
Come on in . . .~~
~~~~
[NEWHANDED],NEWHAND.11A
If you're right handed, ~click the right button.~~~
If you're left handed, ~click the left button.~~
[CHOOSEHANDED],INTR002.11a
If you're right handed, ~click the right button.~~~
If you're left handed, ~click the left button.~~
[DEMOSWING1],INTR003.11a
Here's a swing played as you'll see it in the simulation..
[DEMOSWING2],INTR004A.11a
Now, look at the mouse to see how it moves....~
[DEMOSWING3],INTR004B.11a
The movement of the mouse is linked directly to the movement of the swing~~~
[DEMOSWING4],INTR005.11a
Move the mouse back...~And I take a backswing...
[DEMOSWING5],INTR006A.11a
~~
Move the mouse forward....~And I start the forward swing..... ~and hit through the ball
[DEMOSWING6],INTR007.11a
Here it is again...
[DEMOSWING7],INTR008.11a
The secret to a great swing is in the rhythm and the timing...~~
It's no different in The Golf Pro.~~
[DEMOSWING8],INTR009A.11a
See how the movement is a flowing movement, ~just like my golf swing.
[USERSWING],INTR010.11a
~
~
Now, you try and swing in time with me...~~~
[MASTEREDHIT1],INTR013.11a
So, now you've mastered how to hit the ball.~~
That's Great!~~
Most of my first time pupils take longer than that.~~
But golf isn't QUITE that easy!~~ Each shot has three basic elements:~~
[MASTEREDHIT2],INTR014.11a
Power -~ Which determines how far the ball travels. . .~~~
[MASTEREDHIT3],INTR015.11a
Curvature -~ Which results in the ball moving to the right or left during its flight. . .~~~
[MASTEREDHIT4],INTR016.11a
and~~
Loft -~ which governs the height and backspin of the shot.~~~
[READY1],INTR011.11a
When you're ready,~ press the SWING button.
[TOHITBALL],INTR023.11a
To hit the ball, keep your mouse button pressed down throughout the swing.~~
[POWER1],INTR017.11a
Let's start with power . . .~
The power of your shot depends on the backswing . . .~~
[POWER2],INTR018.11a
A small backswing leads to a low powered shot.~
[POWER3],INTR019.11a
A full backswing leads to a higher powered shot.~
[POWER4],INTR020.11a
The power also depends on your clubhead speed . . .~~~
Move your clubhead slower, and the ball won't travel as far.~
[POWER5],INTR021.11a
But there's NEVER any need to swing too fast
[POWER6],INTR022a.11a
Now, you have a go . . . keeping your mouse button held down to hit the ball.~~
[OVERSWING1],INTR024.11a
When you take a very full backswing,~ you'll see the club begin to wobble.~~
The more you pull back,~ the more power you'll get.
[OVERSWING2],INTR025.11a
But really big swings are worthwhile only if you move your club very accurately.~~~
[OVERSWING3],INTR026.11a
See if you can hit a controlled, high powered shot.~~
[CURVATURE1],INTR027.11a
The second element of the shot is curvature . . .~~~
In The Golf Pro you can alter the shape of your shot just like you do in golf . . .~~
[CURVATURE2],INTR028.11a
Open up your mouse~~
[CURVATURE3],INTR029.11a
and the ball will fade . . .~~
[CURVATURE4],INTR030.11a
Close your mouse~~
[CURVATURE5],INTR031.11a
and the ball will draw . . .~~
[CURVATURE6],INTR032.11a
The same thing will happen if you don't hit your shot straight back and forward.~
[CURVATURE7],INTRO33.11a
So, if you want to hit a straight ball, move the mouse straight back and forward~
[CURVATURE8],INTRO34.11a
And if you want to curve the ball, open or close your clubface.~~~
[CURVATURE9],INTR050.11a
Try and see if you can keep your wrists locked and move your clubface squarely across your mouse mat.~~
[LOFT1],INTR036.11a
The third element of the shot is loft. . .~~~
[LOFT2],INTR037.11a
You can alter the amount of height and backspin of your shot by timing the release of your mouse button.~~
[LOFT3],INTR038.11a
If you release well before the ball, both the height and the amount of backspin increases.~
[LOFT4],INTR039.11a
If you release just behind the ball, the height and backspin decrease.
[LOFT5],INTR040.11a
So, if you want to hit the ball high, release early.
[LOFT6],INTR041.11a
And if you want to hit low, release later.
[LOFT7],INTR042.11a
See if you can alter the timing of your release . . .~~
[LOFT8],INTR043.11a
In the game - to make it easier at BEGINNER level - ~~
If you keep the button pressed THROUGHOUT the swing,~ you'll still hit a shot with reasonable loft~~~
[OUTTRO],INTR044.11a
Well, that's a basic tour of The Golf Pro.~~
If you want to, you can play the game straight away.~~
But some time, why not come and join me for a lesson on the practice range?~~
There,~ I'll teach you how to play all sorts of shots.~~
In the meantime,~ here's a real golf hole for you to practice with until the sun goes down.~~
Just like I used to do when I was learning how to be a champion.~
