The Game Parts are required to use the ratings in this Year Book.
This Year Book includes the 2019 European Tour. The top 180+ golfers and all
courses are rated.
We have 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.
