You lift your head up and check the wind conditions as you begin to line up your shot. You check the distance to the cup, and decide to change clubs--just then, your airplane hits a moment of turbulence and you're jostled in your seat. With this software, you're never too far from taking a game break. You won't confuse Tiger Woods with a top-level PC game but, even with 2-D graphics, the animation is clear and bright. You're given three PGA tour courses and, once you get the hang of it, it's great fun to work out every swing. (For hard-core golf fans, the courses include Summerlin, Sawgrass, and the Badlands Golf Club.)
The software works with Palm Professional, Palm III, PalmIIIx, PalmV, PalmVII--even IBM Wordpad, Windows 95 or 98, and a Mac 7.5.3 or higher. If you're looking for a jaw-dropping golf simulation game, you may want to try PC-ready Links LS 2000, but if you want to give your Palm another way to entertain you while waiting for your meeting to start, your cab to arrive, or your plane to touch down, Tiger Woods can't be beat. --Jennifer Buckendorff
