 ===Playing Tips===
 * Now you've got a lower handicap there are few things that should get it even lower. Always use a driver off the tee and. unless at a short hole, where you can take a chance on reaching the green in one. aim it at direction four in order to avoid hitting the tree if you slice.
 * Use the driver at maximum strength if you're still a long way from the hole, even if you're in the rough. This will lead to more slices and hooks but as long as you plan for those possibilities in your direction you'll be OK.
@@ Line 87: / Line 88: @@
 * Above 15 yards it is difficult to hole a putt, so it is better to leave it just short for a tap rather than whack it and leave a tough one back. Remember, you can still miss from 4-6 yards, so play safe.
 * You should now be able to par plenty of holes and even get the occasional birdie if you're lucky

 Both the first golf and the first sports game released on the CPC, '''''Amsgolf''''' is as basic as they come but thanks to its chunky colourful graphics and 'unique' control system it's one that will linger in the memory.

-By the time the game was reviewed by the magazine again at the beginning of 1985 they were at least willing to play the game a little and the reviewer admitted that "After a while, the game becomes a little tedious, especially when I goud I was playing three holes in a row that were rather similar!"
+== Re-releases and Compilations ==
-''[[Amstrad Action]]'' found the game "Challenging so that you need to practice like the real thing" but were unhappy that getting stuck among the trees on a single hole could ruin an entire round.
+None
-Showing an uncharacterstic sense of mercy, ''[[Amtix]]'' acknowledged that "Golfing games aren't the most awe inspiring programs on any computer but this one is quite enjoyable although it suffers from too much simplicity in setting up strokes to have great playing appeal."
