/* Amsgolf */
===[[Amsgolf]]===
Take heart all you [[BASIC]] programmers. This program was written entirely in [[Amstrad]] [[BASIC]], yet you would never have noticed if I hadn't told you.
 
The game consists of playing on an 18 hole golf course, with the aim of reducing your handicap. You can't cheat when the program asks for your handicap, since you are only given the first password, and must earn the rest by playing under par, and then being given the next level keyword.
 
There's a decent range of clubs to choose from, realistic strength shots (i.e. you cannot drive 800 yards by over hitting). If you land in the bunker or on the green, suitable screens await you.
 
Bounce off the trees at your peril, land in the water, in fact everything you might find on the local golf course without the expense or the exertion (or the danger of treading in the nasty reminders that the local dogs take their constitutionals on the course as well).
 
And if you wonder what the curious 'roar' is when you hit the green, that's only the crowd expressing their approval. Watch out for the 18th green, refreshment is at hand...
