Don't remember MS Golf.  The EA PGA games on MD didn't really do it for me but they got into their stride on the PS2/Oldbox gen. I had a TW game for PS2 and it was impressive - although as mentioned previously - the numerous handholding features kind of put me off them a bit and I find EA's presentation clunky.

The TW M+ games on Wii are great but I prefer to sit on my arse when playing a game that lasts as long as a round of video game Golf.

The SNES got a game called World Masters Golf - was a late release and was PAL exclusive. It was pretty good from what I remember - was like a hybrid of Leaderboard and the EA games - but it had a very ugly chase cam mode that was best avoided.

Aye....had that one too - I think I sold it to @regmcfly here.

Graphically shonky all right but it played well enough.

Mario Golf and Silksong in the same couple of months (potentially) is huge for me. I need one more game to go mental for and summer 2021 could be up there with Christmas '96.

Special mention to Everybody's Golf on the PS4 for being the worst game ever.

I had Everybody's Golf 2 on PS1 but I just never put any time into it. It seemed pretty good though.

To get the most out of it you were forced to do non golf stuff. Walking around the courses picking crap up.

My memory is a bit hazy, I should have another look at it, maybe they patched it.

Those slo mo shots of a orca whale when you finished a round, just to say "well done!". A joy.

Links: The Challenge of Golf was my first golf game I think? Alongside Mario Golf on the Gameboy, which I think I played a fair bit without ever owning...

What was that golf arcade game with a big rollerball built in to determine power and swerve? I liked that a lot. Was in all the local pubs when I was growing up.

Golden Tee.

There was a dedicated home machine released a few years ago but reviews were poor.

Aye - it's supposed to be great. Never played it though. There's still a market for the machines re private ownership. You can get upgrades and extra courses as addon packs.

Odd that speed golf had been billed as a new mode, it was in the 3DS version for online mp.

It’s a different speed golf. This one has you running from shot to ball rather than just quickly doing things.

I’ve got it on vita

What’s wrong with 4 bird?

As my vita is fucked I bought everybodys on PS4 last night while it was still 12 quid in PSN sale.

It makes you play the same courses over and over to gain xp to unlock characters to play and beat.
It looks like a lot of courses are dlc.
I can't see how many actual courses there are but I can see there is 5 I can buy.
It has fishing, golf buggy karting and a quiz that iv only tried the quiz out of so far...it was easy.

The golfing itself is typically brilliant everybody's golf and the create a character is great too.
I love it.

I only play with yellow balls (not that I've even hit one in about 6 years) so I'm fine missing out on this and the water bottle. Would probably buckle if they offered a Toad driver cosy.
