The first menu you will see has three options. The first is New Game, the second is Password, and the final is Training. When you select New Game, the next screen asks you how many players you want to play. The options are 1 player, 2 players, or computer. After that screen, you enter your name. From there, you pick your clubs in which you just fill your bag. After you pick your clubs, you will go straight into the game after some long dialogue. |> __________________________________________________________________ (¯¯¯¯|¯¯) ___ ¯`.__,' / ) 3. - C L U B S GKO3 (¯`. .' .'__________________________________________________________________ `./ ¯¯¯ Please Note - The game doesn't actually list how far each club will hit. These are simply approximations.

Fortunately, this golf game only has a power bar and doesn't have an accuracy portion to it which will make your shots very accurate. Also, learn where to hit the ball in each situation. Hitting the top of the ball is pretty pointless. Hitting it from the bottom though will make it go high in the air, which will cause the wind to affect it, and when it lands, it will stay nearby without rolling. Hitting the ball on the left side will cause it to slice to the right and hitting the right side of the ball will cause it to slice to the left. * TALKING TO YOUR CADDIE The caddie doesn't offer much advice, well I'm assuming not since I can't read Japanese. However, the one useful piece of advice she will give is how far the pin is from your ball. This will help a lot when deciding which club to use so always talk to her in between shots. *SELECTING THE RIGHT CLUB Just like I mentioned above, you should talk to your caddie at all times so you know how far the hole is from your ball. Refer to the clubs section of this guide (GKO3) to know how far each club can hit. *CORRECTING FOR THE WIND Even a slight wind will really affect your ball. A speed of 5m will cause the ball to slice in whichever direction the wind is blowing. You should always correct at least a little for any wind you will have. |> __________________________________________________________________ (¯¯¯¯|¯¯) ___ ¯`.__,' / ) 5. - C O U R S E D E S C R I P T I O N S GKO5 (¯`. .' .'__________________________________________________________________ `./ ¯¯¯ In this section, I will explain how you should approach each hole | F ^ 7 along with a drawing of the green of each hole.

Try to make it go in between the two sand traps and you should just barely get past them which will leave you for a straight shot at the green. From here, you should have a straight shot unless the tree is blocking you. The tree will only get in your way if you hit the right sand trap. If the tree is in the way, just slice around it.

Try aiming just to the right of the tree so it will land on the fairway before the sand trap. Now aim straight down the fairway from here and in between the two sand traps ahead. From here, you'll have a straight shot for the green. 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 ^ ^ 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 ^ ^ 7 7 7 7 7 L 7 7 ^ ^ 7 7 7 7 7 7 L L 7 ^ ^ 7 7 7 7 7 7 F L L L 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 F L < L 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 ^ ^ 7 7 7 7 7 F F ^ ^ 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 F F ^ F F ^ ^ > ^ F ^ 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 F F F F F ^ 7 7 7 7 7 7 < F F 7 7 7 7 < F > > > < < > > < < J L J L L J L L J ____________________ Hole 3 ____________________ It is very hard to hit the ball over the river unless you have the wind on your back. You may want to play it safe and hit the fairway before the river. From before the river, you probably want to hit the end of the second fairway. IF you're after the river, just aim straight for the green. < < 7 7 7 < < < 7 7 7 7 7 7 < < < 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 < < < < 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 < < < < 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 < < < < 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 < < < < < 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 < < < < < 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 < < < < < 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 < < < < < 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 < < < < < J J J J J J J J J < < < < J J J J J J J J J J < < < < J J J J J J J J J J < < < < J J J J J J J J J < < < J J J J J J J J < < < < < J J J J J J J < < < < < J J J J J J < < < < J J J J J < < < < J J J J J < < J J J J < J J J J J ____________________ Hole 4 ____________________ This is a short hole, you could aim straight for the green here. > > > J J J J J V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V ____________________ Hole 5 ____________________ Aim it straight down the fairway.

Just aim for the north side of the green because there is a sand trap in the middle of it. 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 ____________________ Hole 15 ____________________ You can't hit the green from the tee but you will get it in bounds near the green, in the rough. I suggest just aiming it down the fairway so you don't run the risk of landing in front of a tree. From the fairway, just aim straight for the green. 7 7 7 7 F 7 7 7 F F 7 7 7 F F F 7 7 7 7 F F F F 7 7 7 7 F F F F F V V V V F F F F V V V V F F V V V V F V V V V V V V V V ____________________ Hole 16 ____________________ This hole is tricky. Aim for the smaller fairway if you're really confident that you can hit it. It's tough to hit so you may want to aim for the larger fairway to the right. If you hit the smaller fairway, aim for the green. If you hit the larger fairway, aim for the end of this fairway and then aim for the green. You won't be able to make the green from the first shot on the larger fairway. ^ ^ ^ ^ 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 > > > > > > > > > > > > > J J > > > J J J J J J J J V V V V V V V ____________________ Hole 17 ____________________ Aim the shot off the tee straight down the fairway.

Just ignore the islands since you can't hit them. Aim the next shot straight down the green. From here, you will be able to hit the green with your next shot. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ F F F ^ ^ ^ ^ 7 7 F F ^ ^ ^ ^ 7 F F V V V V J < < V V V V J < < J J J J V V V < < J J J J < < J J J < < J J J < < J J < < J J < < > > < < > > < < < > > > < < < > > > < < < > > < < < > > < < < > > < < < > > < < < > > < < > > L L J L L |> __________________________________________________________________ (¯¯¯¯|¯¯) ___ ¯`.__,' / ) 6. - D I S C L A I M E R GKO6 (¯`. .' .'__________________________________________________________________ `./ ¯¯¯ This FAQ/Walkthrough is copyrighted © 2010 to Frank Grochowski.
