1) Installing and playing Golden Tee Golf Demo
a) Installation
Run the setup program SETUP.EXE. This will copy the
Golden Tee Golf Demo files to your system. Before
running the demo, you will need to install DirectX 5
to your system. This is available elsewhere on this
demo CD.
b) Running the Demo
Once installed, you can play the demo by selecting the
icon from your Start Menu.
c) Starting a round of Golf
Once you get past the opening screens, you will come to
a screen called "How Many Players". From here you may
start a 1, 2, 3, or 4-player game. You may also start
up a game against a shadow player. (See shadow players)
2) Game play Issues
a) Demo Speed/Resolution Issues
Golden Tee Golf is meant to be played with a high frame
rate. If you experience choppy animation, you are not
getting the best experience possible. To increase the
performance of this demo, there are several things you
do from the "Game Settings" screen.
* Lower the resolution (Screen Mode)
* Turn off the (Fog)
* Turn off the (Screen Softness)
* Turn off the (Full Screen Approach) cam
* Turn off the (Picture in Picture) cam
Of course if you have the horsepower, turn these options
on, and up as desired.
b) Control Issues
The mouse controls the golfer's swing. How you
control the mouse affects how the ball is hit. For a
tutorial of the different swings available, refer to
the help screens. From within the demo press the [Esc]
key to bring up the option screen. From there select
"help" to bring up the help window.
c) Keyboard Controls
Here is a list of keyboard controls and hot keys.

Golf. Everything can be controlled with the keyboard
and mouse.
e) Sound issues

up to date drivers, the demo may not work properly.
If you are having audio problems, and you have Direct
X 5.0 installed, you should contact your audio card
manufacturer.
This demo is a work in progress and does contain
some sound problems which we are currently working on.
These includes:
* Some of the sounds cutting out. (the
announcer, the sound effects, or the
ambient sounds)
* Some of the sound effects may have a
looping problem. This is where part
of a sound is replayed over and over.
f) Video Issues
This demo requires Direct X 5.0 or higher, without
up to date drivers, the demo may not work properly.
If you are having video problems, and you have Direct
X 5.0 installed, you should contact your video card
manufacturer.

a) Options Menu
From within the demo you may open the Options menu by
either clicking on the options button located on the
bottom center of the screen, or by hitting the Esc key.
b) Game Settings
This will bring up a menu so that you may customize the
demo to your preferred settings.

c) Help
This will bring up a small window that shows you how to
use the mouse with the demo. Here you can find out how
to make those more difficult shots.
d) Highlights
This will play back the greatest shots currently saved.
The demo will automatically prompt you to save any great
shots made.
e) Restart Course
This will let you restart the current game with the
same number of players on the same course.
f) New Game
This will let you go back to the setup screen so you
can select another course or number of players.
g) Quit
This will let one or more players quit the demo. If
there is only one player left in the game, this will
quit the game and return the player to the Windows 95
desktop.
h) Play Alone
This is a networking feature and will not be active
for this demo.
4) Shadow Players
Golden Tee Golf will record your game as you play.
At the end of the course, you will have the option
of saving your performance as a shadow game. You
will then be able to replay that game as a second
player. The recorded performance will play along
side the active player. To play against a shadow
game, select "Shadow Games" from the "How Many
Players" screen, then highlight a shadow game by
clicking on it, then load it by clicking on the
"Load" button. (For this demo the delete feature
is not functional)
5) Multi-player Games
This 3-hole playable demo does not support multi-player
games over a network. You can, however, play up to 4
players on the same machine. The full release version
does have network play capability over an internet or
local area network.
