PGA Golf by Mattel 1979

Choose your club, point the club, swing the club and hit the ball towards the hole. Try to sink the ball into each of the 9 holes with the least amount of strokes. "No pressure, if you miss it, we lose". :P

1st FULL 9 HOLES Entry: Ok not terrible first try out. It's a little quirky, but I think I can get this score down.... :P 

 

I was in the trees a few times, but didn't hit the water or Archie Bunker.... HAHAHAHAHAHA 😜

 

EDIT: Forgot to post my personal goal for this game. I would like to get down to 50 strokes. So that's my goal for this game.... 👍

 

 

PGA GOLF - DISC LEVEL - 1 PLAYER MODE - 60 STROKES!!!

Yes!!!! Donkey Kong in the house!!!! (Not yet but soon). Finally! A game that “Rick’s world-wide voters” agree it’s one of the best games! Ok… that’s not true at all. I think they tried to make the jumping awkward and difficult like the arcade version. They wouldn’t just make crappy controls by mistake. I played a ton of arcade DK, and the duck screen has a very authentic feel to the arcade version. If you ignore that Mario looks nothing like Mario, the game is pretty good! 
 

I haven’t golfed in over 40 years. I just remember those freaking trees make the game frustrating. Nothing a martini can’t fix though!

Some improvement. Should have been 50 as I missed a stupid super easy putt.... 🙄

 

Pretty fun game. Another one I did NOT have as a kid so I've had to learn it on the fly as it were... :P  The aiming mechanism is a bit crude and I don't really know what I'm doing with the swing. Seems a little like bowling (curves) where you can purposely slice or hook? 🤷‍♂️

 

 

 

PGA GOLF - DISC LEVEL - 1 PLAYER MODE - 51 STROKES!!!

Yes!

Hit the side button once to start your swing,hit it again before the club reaches the ground to slice left,or hit it after the club passes the ground to slice right.

How much slice you get depends on how early or late you hit the button the second time.

Pretty cool specs for the 80's. The fact that these programmers were able to incorporate that kind of detail in the 80's is pretty impressive.... :P

And this Golf version is extremely primitive compared to Intellivision Chip Shot Golf.

The putting and green close up,measured distances etc.- check that one out someday.

My only complaint with this game is the putter is too weak.  No chance for long puts.

Agreed, the putting is VERY bad in this game... Overall I like the game, but the Trees are a NUISANCE!!!!!! 👎

I thoroughly agree.

You get on the green and have no choice but to putt twice.

Well,this and those damn trees too!!!😬

Hey everyone, Rick is aware, but I wanted to let you know we got absolutely pummeled by Hurricane Ian as we were in the path of the storm here in SW Florida, but we are safe and sound. Our house is in a disaster zone as we got hit with the eye wall of the storm...the eye passed just a few miles south of us. Fortunately, our house held up very well, but we have a damaged water system (no water), no power, trees down everywhere, and flooding in surrounding streets. I have never seen anything like this, it's one of the worst storms ever to hit the U.S., but very glad we are all safe.


We had to relocate to my parents house, and fortunately they have power and running water. I don’t think I’ll be playing any Intellivision games anytime soon. But I’ll log in to AA from time to time. It’s good to be able to type this!!

 

Anyway, I love golf so I wanna see some low scores from you guys!!
