===Playing Tips===
''(from Amstrad Action Issue 01 - Oct 85)''
* Now you've got a lower handicap there are few things that should get it even lower. Always use a driver off the tee and. unless at a short hole, where you can take a chance on reaching the green in one. aim it at direction four in order to avoid hitting the tree if you slice.
* Use the driver at maximum strength if you're still a long way from the hole, even if you're in the rough. This will lead to more slices and hooks but as long as you plan for those possibilities in your direction you'll be OK.
* When you're in close to the hole you want to hit the green without mistakes so always use an iron that can hit the green with strength 5 or 6. Once on the green, the strength of the putt can be judged roughly by the table below:

* Above 15 yards it is difficult to hole a putt, so it is better to leave it just short for a tap rather than whack it and leave a tough one back. Remember, you can still miss from 4-6 yards, so play safe.
* You should now be able to par plenty of holes and even get the occasional birdie if you're lucky
