There are a couple of threads out there addressing this issue. PGA Tour 2000 is great if you like a more realistic golf game than Golden Tee provides (if you swing to hard without being perfectly straight, you can whiff and miss the ball completely; do this really badly and your golfer will actually fall on his butt!). The latest Links will use a trackball motion swing,but has lots of excess clicking and feels too much like a computer game to be fun on a cabinet.
Fortunately, all the major golf games have downloadable demos; the PGA Tour 2000 demo includes a full 18-hole course, so you can actually put the demo on your cab!
