I'm not sure how to feel about this guy....
"NES Open Tournament Golf is a solid game that can still be a bit of fun to play, but it's tough to recommend. Unlike games like Tecmo Bowl or RBI Baseball, which are more fun than many contemporary football and baseball games, the list of golf games that are better than NES Open is lengthy."

i'm sure tbt and most of you guys will be happy with the author's comments regarding the other nes titles. a couple of things the guy mentions in the article about nes open tournament golf are untrue (no distance to the hole, no percentage of swing power--both are in the game). additionally, you can figure out a lot of what he was complaining about through practice. but that's easy for me to say.
