Create Player
When you first start up the game, this menu is automatically accessed. It can be accessed at other times from the Main Menu.
To play Real World Golf, you need to create a 'Player'. This stores your details such as handicap, swing type, and height. Please put on the Trak Gloves and clip them into the Gametrak unit, then keep an eye on what is happening on-screen and follow the instructions given to you:
1. First, choose an onscreen character to represent you in the game.
2. Then, stand close to the Gametrak with your hands on your head for a short period of time so that we can measure your height.
3. Next, enter whether you have a right or left-handed swing.
4. Finally, enter a three-letter name that will be saved with this configuration.
Once created, your Player can be used in any of the different game modes.
Handicaps
Each Player you create is stored with a golfing handicap. A handicap is a number between 0 and 28 used to express the quality of a Player; the lower the handicap the better the Player.
All newly created Players in Real World Golf start with a handicap of 28. As you play Rounds and Tournaments with them, their handicaps will be adjusted to reflect the quality of their performances.
The ultimate achievement with any Player created in Real World Golf is to achieve a handicap of 0.
*NOTE: Handicaps are not used in Pitch and Putt mode.*
Saving and Loading
To save your Player's settings and progress, a memory card (8MB) (for PlayStation®2) must be inserted into a memory card slot of the console before starting play.
It is advised that you do not insert or remove accessories or memory card (8MB) (for PlayStation®2) once the power is turned on. Make sure there is enough free space on your memory card (8MB) (for PlayStation®2) before commencing play.
