World Class Leaderboard (PC/DOS) 1988, Access Software, Inc.

In 1988, Access Software, Inc. publishes World Class Leader Board (also known as World Class Leader Board Golf, World Class Leaderboard), a golf, editor / construction set game for the DOS system. Offering sports genre, it is now an abandonware.
--
Before the long-running Links series, Access Software produced the Leader Board lineage, which concludes here. Wind, snap and power are the main considerations as players dodge the bunkers, water and rough, which make for more complex courses than the 8-bit versions of the original.
A course editor is included. The courses provided include real locations: St. Andrews (Scotland), Cypress Creek and Doral Country Club (USA) and a fictional one, The Gauntlet, which, as the name suggests, is designed to push the player's skills to the maximum.
The PC version utilizes the PC speaker to reproduce voice samples via the company's patented RealSound process. Quips like "No doubt about it, he's deep in the sandtrap", "Straight onto the fairway", and "Looks like he hit the tree, Jim" are used to provide running commentary on the gameplay.

My mate installed this on 25 of the school computers back in 1988, i remember the IT teacher having to do overtime to remove it from each machine, he wasnt happy. good times.

Had this on my first PC many years ago. Even today, my dad cannot watch golf without quoting "Looks like he hit the tree, Jim!"

Me and my cousins would play it and loved the commentary. Looks like he hit the tree, Jim

Quick tip on hole 8. Leave the club as 1W and then hit P. This (can't remember the technical term) hits the ball low and it'll bounce over the creek and be on the green.

Nice version. Lovely crisp picture quality too. I filmed a round of this Cypress Creek course on C64 hardware but mine looks bloody awful. I can't get a decent picture when filming the TV screen.

Great memories, thank you! When I was kid, I thouht he was saying something like "Fox fackie any chweecher" when the ball was in the trees. I am not an english speeking person so it is funny.

I'm just here looking for the clip of "Well that's not to be confused with either small or medium."
