PGA Tour Golf was released on 1991 , and introduced many of the conventions commonly seen in the genre since. The three-click control method allowed for a multitude of different shots, and required a sense of timing.
The game features four courses, one of them a fantasy 'links' course designed by the programmers. Some of the holes are challenging, with bunkers, water hazards and trees, requiring players to plan strategies to get the best approach to the green.
When playing a tournament, there are 60 opponents, each representing top US golfers - ten of these appear in the game, with one providing tactical advice for each hole.
