A game of strategy using 18 famous courses to produce a golfer's dream course. The game lets you hit the ball like a pro but in order to score well you will have to plan your round hole-by-hole and shot-by -shot. Dice determine how far you hit it. You determine what direction you are trying to hit it. A little luck and a little planning might lead to a low round. Course: Hole #1 Merion Golf Club Hole #2 Scioto Country Club Hole #3 Olympic COuntry Club Hole #4 Baltusrol Golf Club Hole #5 Colonial Country Club Hole #6 Seminole Golf Club Hole #7 Pine Valley Golf Club Hole #8 Prairie Dunes Country Club Hole #9 Champions Golf Club Hole #10 Winged Foot Golf Club Hole #11 Merion Golf Club Hole #12 Augusta Country Club Hole #13 Oak Hill Country Club Hole #14 Cherry Hills Country Club Hole #15 Oakmont Country Club Hole #16 Oakland Hills Country Club Hole #17 Quail Creek Country Club Hole #18 Pebble Beach Golf Links This is the third edition of SI Handicap Golf. The first rendition was the small green box format and included these holes with charts for "scratch" golfers, a range of charts for various handicap levels (men and women), and one "duffer" chart. That set was repackaged into a long box, still called "Sports Illustrated Handicap Golf." Finally, the excess charts were removed, leaving only Pro Men and Pro Women charts, a redesigned shot result system was implemented, and the game was retitled Go for the Green.
