- Hints:
-
-
-
- Since the instructions displayed during the game are a bit
- cryptic, I have provided a more complete description below of how
- to hit the ball.
-
-
- Step 1.
-
- - Select the STATUS command from the command menu displayed
- to the left of the hole by using the up and down arrow keys
- to move the pointer beside the label "STATUS" and hit return.
-
- A status report which replaces the menu will display
- the current hole, its par, the distance to the pin,
- the number of strokes on this hole so far, the total
- number of strokes made on earlier holes, and the lie
- of the ball.
-
- Step 2.
-
- - Select the CLUB command from the command menu using the
- same technique described earlier.
-
- The current club will be displayed where the command
- menu was. Use the up and down arrow keys to change
- it as desired. Hit return when satisfied.
-
- Step 3.
-
- - Select the DIRECTION command from the command menu as
- described previously.
-
- A direction indicator will replace the command menu.
- Use the right and left arrow keys to move the indicator's
- pointer to adjust the direction that the ball will be
- hit. Hit return when satisfied.
-
- Step 4.
-
- - Select the SWING command from the command menu as descibed
- earlier.
-
- A swing indicator will replace the command menu.
-
- The indicator consists of a ball sitting on a tee over
- a rectangular area which represents your backswing,
- downswing, and follow-through.
-
- When the spacebar is first pressed, a colored bar
- will start under the ball and proceed toward the left
- side of the indicator. This represents your
- backswing.
-
- If you allow the backswing to reach the end of the
- indicator, you will be using a full backswing.
-
- If you only allow the backswing to go back only
- X percent, you will be using only X percent of a
- full backswing.
-
- To stop your backswing before it reaches the full
- amount, hit the spacebar a second time.
-
- Once the colored bar reaches the end of the indicator
- (a full backsing) or you hit the spacebar a second time
- (a partial backswing), the colored bar will begin to
- move in the opposite direction. This indicates your
- downswing.
-
- To stop your downswing under the ball and start your
- follow-through, you hit the spacebar a final time.
-
- If you stop your downswing before the bar is directly
- under the ball, you will slice your shot.
-
- If you stop your downswing after the bar has passed the
- ball, you will hook your shot.
-
- If you stop your downswing either too far before or
- too far after, you will whiff.
-
-
- I hope these hints help.
