    OVERVIEW:

    PC Pro-GOLF uses the IBM PC (or compatible) Color-Graphics capability 
    to play a game of golf in which the user may select Clubs, Direction 
    and Force of Swing and otherwise play a close simulation of the real 
    game. You may enter your handicap and game-values will be based upon 
    that value. Graphics are mapped in 4-colors and closely approximate an 
    actual golf-course with water-hazards, sand-bunkers, wooded areas, 
    buildings, roads, etc. With each stroke the player may watch the course 
    the ball takes and see where it lands. Penalty-strokes are added under 
    the correct conditions and an updated Score-Card is available for 
    reviewing at any time, as are the Help-Screen and Club-Values List. An 
    unfinished game may be Saved for resumption at a later time. 

    SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:

                A 100%-compatible IBM PC XT, or AT Computer
                ONE or TWO Floppy Disk Drives or a 
                        Hard Drive system
                At least 180-KiloBytes of FREE Random Access Memory (RAM)
                Color Graphics Adaptor with RGB Monitor
                        or Downward-compatible EGA or VGA Video System
                DOS 2.0 (or later version)

    INITIAL SET-UP:
                Begin by making a BACKUP copy of the diskette you 
                received.
    
        For ONE Floppy Drive:

                Put a WRITE-PROTECT tab over the notch in the edge of
                the ORIGINAL diskettes. Insert your DOS System
                Diskette into Drive A and type...

                                DISKCOPY A: B:   (press Enter-key)

                Then follow the directions shown on-screen

        For TWO Floppy Drives:

                DOS System Diskette in Drive A and type...

                                DISKCOPY A: B:   (press Enter-key)

                At the prompt, insert the ORIGINAL Program Disk into
                Drive A and a NEW unformatted disk into Drive B and
                press any key.
                
                Properly LABEL the copy.
                            (Skip over Hard Drive Section)

        For Hard Drive C and Floppy Drive A:

                Put a WRITE-PROTECT tab over the notch in the edge of
                the ORIGINAL diskette. 

                Select Drive A. Insert the PC Pro-GOLF Program Disk into
                Drive A and type...

                                SETUPHD   (press Enter-key)

                Your Golf-Game will then be transferred to a Sub-
                Directory on the Hard Disk C named GOLF. There is
                no need to make the GOLF-Directory; SETUPHD will
                do this for you.

        Store your ORIGINAL diskette in a safe place.

        IMPORTANT!!!  If you wish to use your old PC Pro-GOLF data disks 
        (Golf Courses) with the new version 4.2 then run the CONVERT-
        program on this disk. It will make the proper changes in the data 
        disks required under this new version.

                To CONVERT old data disks...

                Insert the Program Disk into drive A and type CONVERT.
                Then follow the on-screen instructions.













    RUNNING PC Pro-GOLF:

        If you are using a Floppy Drive system, insert the Program disk 
        in any floppy drive.

        If you are using the Hard Disk-Floppy Disk system, insert the
        Program disk into Drive A.

        From your ROOT-Directory on Drive C, or from your floppy drive 

                type...  GOLF   (press Enter-key)

        PC Pro-GOLF will load. If you are using a Tandy 1000, press Y.
        You will then be asked which Drive-configuration you are using. 
        Give the answer, 1 - 2 - 3  or 4, which describes your system.

        Enter your handicap at the prompt. If unsure, enter "B" for 
        beginner. 
    
        Next you will see the Name of the Golf-Course which is on the Data 
        disk and the computer will ask if you wish to Continue a Previous 
        Game. Answer by pressing the Y or the N - key.

        If you are continuing a previous game, the screen will then change 
        and you will see the Map of the Course showing the NEXT hole to be 
        played. 

        If you are NOT continuing a previous game, enter your Name (up to 8 
        characters) and press the Enter-key.

        Next you will be asked if you wish to review the Club-Values. Each 
        club (Woods, 1 thru 5, and Irons, 1 thru Sand-Wedge and Putter) is 
        listed along with the average "distance" that club can send the 
        ball. If you wish to review these distances, answer Y to the 
        question, otherwise, answer N.

        Enter the your choice for Hole-Numbers for STARTING and ENDING.
        A Colored Map of the First Hole will then be displayed. In the 
        upper-left you will see the Name of the Course and the Hole-Number 
        you are about to play. At the bottom you will see an Information 
        Panel. On the far right of the panel you will see your Name, the 
        PAR for this Hole, the LENgth between Tee and Pin, YTG, which 
        stands for Yards To Go (remaining distance between ball and pin), 
        The STROKEs you have taken thus far on this Hole, and your SCORE 
        thus far for the Course.

        On the top-left of the panel you will see the message...
        
                        Select Club:
                        (W)  (I)  (P)   (Wood, Iron or Putter)

        Press the W, the I or the P-key.

        Next you will be asked the Number of the Club-type you have 
        selected. For Woods you may select 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5. For Irons you 

    
    
    
    
    
    
    



        may select 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, <P>itching Wedge or <S>and 
        Wedge. Your Club-selection will be shown on the second row of the 
        panel. If you are satisfied with your choice, then proceed. If you 
        would like to change your choice, press the R-key to <R>evise the 
        choice. If you revise, then you must re-select the clubs from the 
        beginning. 

        You will see a Direction-Pointer at the middle of the Panel. The 
        single hand points straight up. This pointer is relative to the map 
        of the Hole and indicates the direction you will take FROM WHERE 
        THE BALL LIES. Move this pointer either left or right using the 
        <,> comma or the <.> period-key. You will also see the letter-C in 
        the upper-right corner of the screen. This indicates you are in 
        Course-Adjustment mode with the pointer. Toggle between Course and 
        Fine adjustment using the F-key.

        When you are satisfied with the direction you want to send the 
        ball, press the Enter-key.

        NOTE: You can still Revise your choice of Club as well as Direction 
              at this point. After the stroke is made you cannot revise.

        Next you will be asked How Hard you wish to hit the ball. You may 
        regulate the force of your swing from 10% to 90%, or to FULL-SWING.
        Press 1 thru 9 for 10% thru 90% of Full Swing, or press the F-key
        for a Full 100% Swing. 
        
        When you press the appropriate key (1-9,F) the computer does 
        several things. First it runs the data of direction, club and force 
        through a random-based error function to determine if the swing has 
        any faults. Next it plots the path and projected position of the 
        ball; if the ball falls onto a RED pixel or into WATER on the map, 
        a Penalty-Stroke is automatically added to your score. Then the 
        plot is drawn onto the Map of the Hole to show you where the ball 
        lies and what course it took to get there. Your New position, 
        Strokes and Score is tallied and shown in the lower-right of the 
        panel. If your ball did NOT land on the Green, control is then 
        returned to you at the "Select Club"-level for your next shot. You 
        repeat the process of Club-Selection, Direction, Force, etc. again 
        until your ball lands on the Green. 

        Once the ball lands on the Green a message is displayed in the 
        panel telling you so and to press the Space-Bar to advance. The 
        screen changes and you have a view of the Green showing the hole 
        and pin, as well as the relative position of the ball. The box in 
        the lower-left displays the information on HOLE-Number, PAR, LENgth 
        of the Hole, FEET TO PIN (FTP), Your STROKES so far and your SCORE. 
        Use the (,) and (.) -keys to move the Direction Pointer to your 
        satisfaction, press the Enter-key and enter the number of FEET you 
        wish to send the ball. The ball moves according to the same factors 
        as described above and, if you DO NOT sink the ball, the updated 
        information is displayed in the box at lower-right.
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        


        If you sink the ball, the computer sounds and a message appears at 
        the bottom of the screen advising you of the meaning of your score. 
        If you are finishing up the last Hole, the screen will change 
        showing your final score. If there are more holes to play, press 
        the A-key to <A>dvance to the next Hole and repeat the instructions 
        from the beginning of the first Hole.



                            

                                N O T E S :

        IMPORTANT..!

                The Program requires the presence of certain 
                files before it will start. It is best to use a 
                VERIFIED COPY of the ORIGINAL PROGRAM DISK, or, 
                if running off your Hard Drive, to set up your 
                Working Directory using the SETUPHD utility which 
                came on your original disk. This insures all 
                necessary files will be accessible. 

        
        Please Explain the Screen...

        Review Club Values:

        To review the Values of the Clubs (the distance each one is rated) 
        press the V-key at any time. A screen will appear showing a listing 
        of all clubs along with their respective Values. You may change any 
        of the clubs to Values which you decide upon, or, leave the Values 
        as they are.
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
                
        
                To CHANGE:      Press the C-key, enter the information 
                                requested, and <S>ave the NEW Values by
                                pressing the S-key.

                To RETURN:      Press the Enter-key and the game will be
                                resumed where you left off.

        Save Unfinished Game:

        You may stop playing after completing ANY Hole and BEFORE selecting 
        Clubs for the NEXT Hole. This is the ONLY place in the game where 
        you may do this. This is only possible for games beginning on HOLE-
        Number 1. Games beginning on other Holes may not be saved and 
        resumed. When you see... "Select Club" (W, I, P), you may press the 
        G-key to postpone play of the <G>ame. When a Game is continued, all 
        of the data accumulated up to that point is saved in the file, 
        CONTINUE.GME, on the data disk. When you press the G-key you will 
        be asked if you want to Save the Game. Enter a Y if you wish to 
        stop or (if you change your mind) an N, if you wish to continue. If 
        you entered a Y, you will then be asked if you want to Quit. At 
        this point you may opt to continue playing by pressing the N-key, 
        meaning NO, you DO NOT want to quit, and the game will continue. If 
        you press the Y-key it means YES, you want to quit, and the game 
        terminates. 

        Quit the Game:

        To <Q>uit the game without playing all Holes, follow the 
        instructions above in "Save Unfinished Game", but answer <Y>es to 
        the question, "Do you wish to Quit?".

        Penalty Strokes:

        One Penalty-Stroke will be added to your score each time the ball 
        lands on a RED pixel (dot) or into WATER on the screen. Plan your 
        shots to avoid any RED areas like Water, RED trees, Houses, etc. If 
        you do land on a RED pixel, your Next shot will be calculated from 
        that position. 

        Reset Club Selection:

        Anytime up until you actually make the shot, you may <R>eset your 
        Club-selections and Direction-choice by pressing the R-key. This 
        takes you back to the beginning of the current Hole. Re-enter your 
        choices and proceed as normal.

        Score Card:

        You may review your Score <C>ard at any time by pressing the C-key.
        The card may not be changed and your only option is to return to

        Helpful Tips...

        If you have other Golf Courses keep them properly labelled by       
        Course-Name. Each course of 18-Holes takes about 192-K of 
        storage space. Keeping them on separate floppies avoids using a 
        disproportionate amount of Hard Disk space and makes finding a 
        given course much easier. 

        Only ONE unfinished game may be saved on a Data Disk for a given 
        course. If more than one person wishes to play, it may be handy for 
        each person to have a Data Disk of each course for his own. Use 
        DISKCOPY to make multiple copies of the same course.
