Game Description
PGA Championship Golf 2000 features dozens of options to customize gameplay and several real-life golfers to play against. Most of the courses in PGA Championship Golf are "fantasy" courses designed for the game, but there are a few real-life venues available for play as well. The game offers several different modes of play, including skins, scramble, best ball, and other actual golf variations. Instead of tapping or clicking against a power meter, players swing their clubs with a stroke of the mouse in PGA Championship Golf, offering a more visceral interface and (with practice) more direct control over the shot.~ T.J.
