Course Terrain

1. The game consists of eight different terrains: Tee, Fairway, Rough, Bunker, Water, Up Slope, Down Slope and Green. 2. The shot distance is determined by the club selection and the terrain.

3. There are five different kinds of wind conditions in the game: North, South, East, West, and Windless. The wind direc- tion changes without changing the force of the wind every 30 seconds, which affects the shooting distance. The dis- tance is also related to the shot direction selected, either Hook, Straight or Slice. Only if the shot is over 20 yards can it be affected by the wind direction, and every 20 yards will be affected be a factor of one. See the chart at the top of the next
