I've been playing a fair amount of Golf on my mobile phone, but there's only so much a man can take playing the same two courses over and over. So I head on down to the shops, pick up Tiger Woods '07 for cheap, get it home, realise it's definitely not a pick-up-and-play Golf game, cue mobile phone again.

So what I need is an uncomplicated console Golf game which I can enjoy in short bursts. At least until I can get my head around Tiger Woods.

Any suggestions which aren't Mario Golf (never did like the cutesy factor)?

Cheers

LEADERBOARD

Leaderboard was good but it has to be PGA Tour on the Megadrive.
Yet to be beaten for simplicity (but that's not to say it's easy).
PGA Tour
European Tour
or PGA II

after that they started messing about with the swing meter etc.

I used to play marathon sessions of PGA golf and PGA golf II on the megadrive, They're still pretty playable now .

I don't understand golf on computers.

I don't understand golf, mind, but golf on computers I get even less.

I mean, golf??

That's what I thought until I actually started playing golf on a computer... much better than golf in real life anyway.

If you have an XBox, you could also try Links 2004, or if you fancy a golf game with a sense of humour, try the two Outlaw Golf games (PS2, XBox and PC).

Or of course, you've got Leaderboard, and I remember Pro Golf Simulator on the Spectrum. Drawback? One course only.

Seconded. Great game, easy to pick up and play (Aim, adjust power, shoot!) and MAME'd too.

Don't let your experience of the real thing put you off the videogame.

Just like footie, its a dreadful sport that makes a remarkably playable game on the small screen, missing out all the dull bits.

I like Sensible Golf. I know it's crap, but I still like it
