How to Play
System Setup and Disc Handling
Set up your Sega Saturn system as described in its instruction manual. Plug in Control Pad 1. Place the World Cup Golf disc, label side up, in the well of the CD tray and close the lid.
Turn on the TV or monitor and the Sega Saturn™. The Sega Saturn™ logo appears on screen. If nothing happens, turn the system off and make sure it is set up correctly before turning it on again.
Important: Your Sega Saturn™ CD contains a security code that allows the disc to be read. Be sure to keep the disc clean and handle it carefully. If your Sega Saturn™ system has trouble reading the disc, remove the disc and wipe it carefully, starting from the center of the disc and wiping straight out toward the edge.
Starting the Game
•
Press the open/close button to open the CD tray, place the World Cup Golf CD in the tray (label up) and close the CD tray.

After a few seconds the Saturn logo should appear on screen, followed by the title sequences.
N.B. Press button C to skip the title sequences.

Playing World Cup Golf
The quickest way to start playing golf is to select the Quickstart option from the Main Menu.
N.B. You cannot save your game if you play in QuickStart.
The Quickstart option allows you to play a round of golf at Hyatt Dorado Beach as an amateur. The computer will select a suitable club for each of your shots, but this can be overruled by scrolling through the available clubs in the swing meter box. You can skip the hole introduction sequences by pressing button A.
When playing a shot, the first thing to decide is in which direction to hit the ball. In World Cup Golf a perfectly hit shot will travel towards the cross-hair, although wind, fade, draw, hook and slice may cause the ball to deviate from this path.
Press button C to view the Cross-hair Information box, which displays:
•
The distance and height of the cross-hair relative to your ball
•
Wind velocity
•
The type of surface directly beneath the ball
Control the cross-hair by moving the D-pad UP/ DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT to nominate the direction of your shot.
To actually putt the ball, press C to view the Cross-hair Information box and then press C again to open the Putt Meter box.
Set the power range for your shot by moving the D-pad UP/DOWN to change the power scale at the foot of the power box. The marker denotes the power level required to achieve the distance at the center of the scale. Press button C once to start the shot, and then press button C again when you judge that the power level has reached the appropriate point for the required distance.
N.B. You can only use the Backspin dialogue box with certain clubs. You cannot play backspin with a wood or a putter.
On-Screen Icons Reference
The Flag Icon
Highlight this icon and press button C to show the position of the hole.
Ball Lie Icon

Map
The Map dialogue box provides a scaled overhead map of the current hole, showing your current position and the surrounding area.
Use the miniature cross-hair on the map, by moving the D-pad, to navigate the local region from your current position. As you move, the distance indicator shows how far the cross-hair is from your starting point.
While the mini cross-hair is white, you can press button C to display a first-person perspective of the view from the cross-hair position. From this view, press and hold button C to display the LSI and explore the topography of the course.
The cross-hair turns pinkish grey to indicate that the selected position is 'out of bounds'. Press button B to close the menu.
