Golf control panel...should I???

I'd like to know which ones work well too. I have quite a few golf games, but don't have a PC good enough to run them yet (buy games when I find 'em cheap)

Part of the reason I want to know how well they work with a cab is so I know what kind of investment in a video card I'll need to make as I don't play any other games more graphic intense than golf games.

So far replies have said PGA and Tiger play well.

Games I have (haven't played any with a trackball, so if anyone has let me know how they play please!):

Tiger Woods 2003
Tiger Woods 2004
PGA Tour 2000
Outlaw Golf
Links 2003

want Golden Tee PC with addon courses

Any other good ones?

Some other games I have that may play well on a trackball:
Bowl X-Treme
Fast Lanes Bowling
Perfect Pool 3D
Mini Golf Master 2

Any others?

Hyperbowl  I haven't played, but it looks cool.

Links plays very nicely, too.  Mame has some excellent trackball games you may want to consider as well.  

As far as video card for the golf, I run with a Geoforce 3 card and I run at the highest settings across the board with no slowdown.  I've seen the Geoforce4s for <$50 after rebate recently, so that should be easy enough to pick up.  I believe the amount of RAM you have (someone correct me if I'm wrong) will make a larger difference than a higherend video card for what you are going to play.

dommer:
I designed this one so that, whenever the better GT games get emulated, I'd be able to play it on my cab.  The thing is, it turned out kind of huge.

Hyper Bowl would be fun, forgot about that one, it's a blast in the arcade!

Good to know links plays well! I didn't mention mame games but they are not forgotten!  ;) Marble Madness is one of my all time favs!

I have been reading some of the Tiger Woods forums relative to graphics cards. It seems that the majority of people are using ATI cards, however there is a problem with the 9600 going to black using the three click method. I know the more memory a card has, the faster it will render for golf games.
