Being an avid golfer, with a golfing family, we started with some old PC and Leader Board, followed by World Class Leader Board on Master System, followed by a upgraded PC and Link and then Link 386, those were great. I started to play golf later (there's a age limit on golf at least here in germany), by the time Link LS was out.
I definitely prefer the real time swing with a mouse (like current day Golf Club, PGA 2K and the like) over the simplistic 3 click. That was fine before i really learned golf and experiencd mouse swnig. I can't go back to the click stuff.
I super agree that (three click) also known as (Tri-Click) sucks compared to simulated mouse or analog swing, but more than PC mouse swing I per realistic analog swinging,
In my opinion there is nothing more satisfying than leaning back in a padded chair with a wired controller in your hand and staring back at a medium or large sized tv screen with no strain on your back or shoulders just kicking back and playing some free course admission price video game golf.
Golf games like the Tiger woods series are still somewhat easy to find physical copies of today, the only hard part is finding a working retro console to play those cheap games on. once you payed a small price for a Tiger woods series golf video game you then have unlimited access to all the courses on the game once you start playing and unlocking them as you master the game, or you could cheat even if you wanted to and unlock everything with cheats but that is not the way I role with analog stick or mouse pad golf games.
Like you said Tri click can become vary frustrating because you need to concentrate and focus on watching the bar meter at all times in order to win at it.
leaving you little or no time to focus on the beauty and the scenery of the golf video games
with the mouse pad or analog stick control? all you need to do is point aim and shoot.
However on the computer or PC you can often put heavy pressure on your shoulders and lower back because when playing on a PC. Because you need to sit up straight, but instead on a console it allows you to sit back and relax more. and the game I posted above works best on an actual Original Xbox with a real OG Xbox controller
Try playing on a console it's a much more kick back and relax experience. then with a computer mouse and a PC, since a console allows you to easily use (ANY) kind of a sitting chair including a lazy boy or recliner with ease and comfort
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2001-and Beyond are all analog swing console golf video games also you can get them on PC as well
