Golf Games

The game of Golf has been around since at least the 15th Century and possibly earlier. Golfing videogames have likewise been around for a long time, appearing on some of the earliest consoles like the Magnavox Odyssey and Atari 2600. Not all the golfing games features on MyEmulator are straightforward Golf simulators, though. Some golfing games have some fun with the concept, and add in a few twists to this old game.
