Even better than the real thing

Excalibur bills this double-screen game as “the most realistic hand-held golf game around.” Well, maybe. Hand-held electronic games aren’t widely known for their realism.

They mean, apparently, that you select different clubs, you control the direction of your shot as well as the different stages of your swing, and that even the “weather” conditions play a role in where you hit it. But let us consider this question:

In Double Screen Talking Golf, can you twist your ankle in a divot? Can you get mosquito bites? Can you shank the ball so badly it hits your partner directly in the Top-Flites?

No? Well, it doesn’t seem all that “realistic,” then, does it?

Thank goodness. We’ll take two.
