Next you see an overhead view of the hole, which you can also access at any time during play. At the beginner level, the computer chooses a club for you, although you can pick a different one if you like.

At the expert level you choose your own club. The manual lists the maximum distances you can expect to hit the ball with each club, but your choice must also be guided by such factors as the wind speed and direction, where the ball lies on the course, and such complexities as whether or not you're shooting uphill or downhill.

Another factor to consider is where you want the ball to land. Aiming straight for the pin isn't always the best idea, because you must compensate for roll and bounce. Your tee shots and approach shots may take a long time to master, but this is golf as it should be. To swing, pay attention to the power bar, not the golfer.

You can readjust your golfer's viewpoint if you wish, but for the most part he or she will be facing in the right direction. Then press the I button, wait for the power bar to reach the amount of strength you want, and then press the button again. Now wait for the power bar to fall to the 0 percent line, and press the button a third time. The higher the power bar reaches before you press the button the first time, the more powerful your swing.

Of course, you don't always want to hit the ball with all your power. Stopping the bar before it falls back to the 0 percent line causes the ball to hook curve left if your golfer is right-handed, or curve right if your golfer is left-handed. Stopping the bar after it reaches the 0 percent line causes the ball to slice curve right if your golfer is right-handed, or curve left if your golfer is left-handed.

Generally, it's a good idea to always try for a straight shot - in other words, to press the button for the third time just as the power bar reaches the 0 percent mark.

Eventually, though, you must learn to use your power, hooks, slices, and the wind to make the best possible shots. That's what makes golf challenging - and exasperating.

Putting, as mentioned before, is difficult in Turbo Golf. Before doing anything else, head to the practice green and learn how to read the "break meter". This meter, which appears at the bottom left of the screen during putts, tells you which way the green slopes. No part of this game, it seems, is played on level ground.

Then learn how to aim the ball, because Turbo Golf punishes you thoroughly if you don't aim correctly. Finally, learn how to judge the power you'll need for your putts. In this game, it's easy to tap a ball toward the hole and watch it disappear down a grade to rest 25 feet or more from the original destination.

You must think about the wind, trees, sand traps, cart paths, and the kind of shot that's required. You're also playing on an accurate re-creation of a real golf course. As a result, Turbo Golf is a difficult game to master. But that also means it won't wear out its welcome in the foreseeable future. All things considered, it's a very good game. You can play by yourself or challenge the computer to some intense rounds of golf.

After entering your name, you can select the difficulty of the game. Then, press start and choose from four awesome courses including Jack's greatest course.

The action gets hotter and hotter as you progress through the holes, and you can save the game anytime during play, choose a password and continue it later. A couple of nice features of the game are that you can sharpen your putting skills by selecting the putting green option, or you can grab a driver, hit the driving range and practice your driving skills. All of the same intense fun you gain from the sport of golf is here, from the agony of missing the birdie to the joy of a hole in one!

Tradewest has converted the computer game for the Super NES. The announcer's voice sounds professional, like the ones you hear on Sundays: smooth enough to listen to even after Friday and Saturday night overindulgences.

He clearly lays out the hole and gives you good advice on how to play it. Jack Nicklaus lets you choose from five of his favorite courses. You can test your skills south of the border on a very open links type course such as Cabo del Sol or fight off mosquitoes on the heavily-wooded Country Club of the South.

The game also allows you to play several competitive golf formats, including Stroke play, Match play, Best score Handicap or Straight , Skins, Sudden Death, Bingo-Bango-Bongo, or a Certified game that counts toward your handicap. The statistics kept on your certified rounds, while being too numerous to list, are extremely detailed. The game includes a Golf Course Designer program, an outstanding module that allows you to dream up your own courses or recreate the course down the street.

The results are incredible. Your personal time constraints will be the only thing limiting what you can do with this program. The actual gameplay of Jack Nicklaus 4 leaves room for improvement. There is a problem getting out of some hazards.

When your ball is positioned directly behind a rock, or in the deep rough at the bottom of a hill, it can sometimes take 3 or 4 shots to get back on track. This can really screw up your handicap, although it does provide incentive to stay in the Fairways.

The graphics on the courses are outstanding, surpassing that of any other golf game I have played. The golfer's image is very good, although it could blend in with its surroundings better.
