My love for GOLF on the Nintendo started young. My aunts and cousins were all pretty good gamers with even better taste in games.
Zelda 1 and 2. Star tropics, Mike Tyson’s Punchout, other lesser hits such as a family favourite, “Wizards and Warriors” (soundtrack is amazing) or “Milon’s Secret Castle”. The grandparents were the Tetris vets on the original Gameboy. Dang… i miss those summers.
I was always the youngest so had to sit back, watch, and not annoy them. Oh, and who were the people that showed me the ropes? Women. All women. My two cousins who were 2 and 4 years older than me and we were more like brother and sisters when together. Then the really good players that i would watch were my Aunts. They were straight ballers and always had the good games on Nintendo. The early games were a struggle. Everyone that i watched struggle though “Legend Of Zelda” for their first play though, or getting murcked in the later levels of “Star Tropics,” i was too young to play at there level. Hearing the sounds that tell you that you are close to dieing was a genially frightening experience. I was so bad compared to all but always enjoyed those games and still do to this day.
One of them however, has risen above and beyond the rest. The one game that was rarely played and was way too tough for younger me.
That game was GOLF.
For you the reader to fully understand what Is at stake here and the true difficulty, I feel obliged to break down each hole and give them a rating to if they are tough or easy hole.
