- True to life. Golf is much easier if you can always 2-putt. Unfortunately,
- it's not easy :(
-
- I just think the greens on the course that comes with Links386 are flatter
- than some of the greens on previous courses. That makes reading easier
- (and reading is generally hard...as good as the shading & grid are, it
- still doesn't give all the clues that real-world greens give. Not to be
- critical, after all 640x480 is better than 300x200, but it's not
- 1280x1024x24bit either...)
-
- (Not that I expect to see a 1280x1024x24bit game in the next few years...
- but one can alway hope.. :)
