The Game Parts are required to use the ratings in this set
This set includes the 2018 US Champions Tour. With the 2018 set, we have rated
the top 200 golfers on the money list. This should allow you, as the
gamer, to truly hold “as-played” tournaments. Doing this also allows you to
conduct the Major Tournaments with the part-time tour players that often fill
these events.
We have also included the Optional Big Day/Bad Day system that
was employed in the All-Time Great Set.
This game was created several years ago to fill a personal need
for a quick playing golf game that also involved a golfer’s skills, ability and
personality. There are many fantastic golf games on the market. However, the
stroke-by-stroke games have a playing time that isn’t conducive for a full
tournament, let alone an entire season. And the quicker playing games, including
a couple that I was involved with during the design, brought game play times
down, but still didn't “tell the story” of the round, nor did the golfers “feel
different from one another”. The quest for both elements during game play
resulted in the birth of Player of the Game Golf.
Over the years, the game has been tweaked and modified to cover
all aspects of a golf tournament and season. We have literally played thousands
of rounds of golf with the game and have used a computer model to play millions
of rounds (no, that’s not an exaggeration) to ensure the game’s accuracy and
playability.
Golfers are rated for their scoring ability on Par 3, Par 4 and
Par 5 holes. They are also rated for their skill in putting, driving,
scrambling, and fairway play. They are also rated for their overall play in
early rounds as well as in pressure situations when the tournament is on the
line.
Each course is individually rated for difficulty during each
round of play as well as scoring during each round.
And if that's not enough, we provide you with the tools to play
as yourself or on your local course!
With Player of the Game Golf, you’ll see why a player struggled
or had a great day on the links. You’ll visually be able to see the differences
in the courses on the tour, and most importantly, be able to see why a player
succeeds on certain course types, and struggles on others. Player of the Game
Golf also accurately depicts how each and every golfer performs during early
rounds and when facing extreme pressure during the final round. We really feel
that Player of the Game golf covers all of the bases, offering accuracy,
individuality, and most importantly speed of play.
