Finally, a decent round of Golden Tee!

[Ummon]

Well, at least the first round. Blew the second one out ---my bottom---, pretty much - but hey I got a ---smurfin--- eagle!

[Hoopz]

Wait for your first ace.  That's pretty awesome.

Good job on your Eagle!

I kept back going to Golden Tee over and over in MAME, until I got to the point where I wanted something a bit newer and bought a Golden Tee Fore cab. It gets a lot of play.

I shut off the shot clock so we're not rushed playing multi-player. Study the holes for tricks and you'll be way under par in no time. My average is about -15, but the high scores on my cab when I got it were -21's on the easy courses.

Heres a dumb question (and sorry for the slight derail)

Which versions of Golden Tee are supported in the latest Mame?

[Hoopz]

They were added with version .92.  I play the latest version which is Golden Tee 2K Tournament (v5.00).  Everything before that is in there I believe.  Fore isn't yet.

And, is it just me, but do the back 9 holes on most courses seem much harder than the front nine?

[Hoopz]

Your eagle is actually a double eagle!  Or an albatross depending on how technical you want to be.

one under par is a birdie, two is an eagle and three under is double eagle/albatross.

Aohhhh. Right you ahh, suh. It says 'eagle or better', so yeah. Thanks for pointing that out.

I don't play it enough. Partly I really need to replace the bearings in my trackball. Some of those severe screw-ups were at close range putting and my trackball tacking to the left or right. Piece of ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---.

No doubt, that's what I've been thinking.

I think the developers do that to screw you over. There are a lot of spots which look like shortcuts that really mess your game up. This is very true starting with the Fore! series where you can do all kind of curved shots. They put greens just out of reach with the driver on long holes so that it will drop into the water or some other nasty hazard.

The other side to this is that you have to approach each hole like a puzzle because there are a lot of shortcuts to go along with the traps.

---steaming pile of meadow muffin---, I've felt that was the case from the beginning. And I hate puzzles. But after a few years of occasional playing, I've gotten to the point where I get it a little more.
