PGA Tour Golf III Genesis
Game Information
The team at Polygames make some small improvements to the latest PGA title. It has a US setting in terms of the courses and players, unlike PGA European Tour, with 8 courses in total. Control is via the standard method of setting the shot up, then pressing the button once to start a swing, a second time to set the pace, and a third time to set draw/fade. Before taking a shot the club choice, direction and intended draw/fade (spin on the ball) are selected. You can play a 72-hole tournament against 60 other PGA pros, or practice the holes at your leisure.

Additional Information
Tournament Players Club courses: Summerlin, Sawgrass, Avenel, Scottsdale, Southwind,
River Highlands, Las Colinas, and Woodlands. Prior to entering a tournament, where you
must compete for cash against 60 professional golfers and up to three friends, you can
hone your skills in the practice round, the driving range, or the putting green. Tournament
play includes a Skins Challenge, Match Play, and the EA Sports Shoot-Out, which is a
three-hole elimination contest.
When you are getting ready to hit the ball, you must decide if you want to hook or slice
the ball or if you want to hit it straight, depending on the lie of the ball, what obstacles are
on the course, and what your follow up shot is going to be like. You must also decide
what club to use, how much arc to put on the ball, how hard to hit the ball, and what
effect the wind will have on the ball. When putting, you can look at a contour grid, which
shows the topography of the putting surface.
