A few people may experience epileptic seizures when viewing flashing lights or patterns in our daily environment. These persons may experi- ence seizures while watching TV pictures or playing video games. Play- ers who have not had any seizures may nonetheless have an undetected epileptic condition.
Consult your physician before playing video games if you have an epileptic condition or experience any of the following symptoms while playing video games: altered vision, eye or muscle twitching, other involuntary movements, loss of awareness of your surroundings, mental confusion and/or convulsions.
SETTING UP
BATTERY INSTALLATION
On the back of the main unit, remove the battery compartment and in- sert four (4) “AA” batteries as indicated inside the compartment (alkaline batteries recommended). Replace the battery compartment door.
NOTE: Batteries in the Main Unit should give you about 10 hours of game play (if alkaline batteries are used). The game will not oper- ate normally when the batteries begin to run low. The screen may be blurred and resetting the game may not work. Be sure to install fresh batteries. There is also no memory function. All game data will be erased when the power is turned off or batteries are replaced.

ADULT SUPERVISION IS RECOMMENDED WHEN INSTALLING BAT- TERIES.
TV CONNECTION
NOTE: To connect Golden Tee Golf directly to a TV, the TV must be equipped with audio and video input jacks. They are commonly found on the front of the TV near the contrast, color and picture adjustment con- trols or on the rear of the TV near the antenna and cable/satellite jacks.
If your TV does not have audio and video input jacks, you may connect Golden Tee Golf through a VCR connected to your TV.
Please note: If your TV does not have AV Input Jacks, you can connect your game through your VCR or use an RF Modulator. RF Modulators can be purchased at most electronic stores.
CONNECTING TO A VCR
To connect Golden Tee Golf to your VCR, insert the yellow video plug from the Main Unit into the video-in (Yellow) jack on your VCR, the white audio plug into the left audio-in (white) jack. Then set the VCR to the appropriate video input mode (see your VCR’s operating manual for details).
ADULT SUPERVISION IS RECOMMENDED WHEN CONNECTING CABLES TO A TV AND VCR.

PLAYING GOLDEN TEE GOLF
If your Golden Tee Golf is connected to your TV, turn on the TV, then set the TV to the appropriate video input mode (see set-up section of this manual). If your Golden Tee Golf is connected to your TV through a VCR, turn on the TV and VCR, then set both the TV and VCR to the appropriate video input modes (see set-up section of this manual). Next, turn on the power to your Golden Tee Golf by sliding the POWER BUTTON to the left on the front of the Main Unit. After a brief start-up animation, the Main Menu will appear on the TV screen.
Using the trackball on the Main Unit, you will be able to scroll through the different game modes you can choose from (Play Round, Match Play, Tournament, and Driving Range). Once the game mode you wish to play is highlighted press the SELECT button on the Main Unit. If it is an option in the game you select, you will then be able to choose the number of players.
The Tee View screen will appear and display the following information:
•Hole Number, Par, and Stroke Number
•Distance Remaining to the Hole/Pin in Yards
•Golfer
•Power Percentage
•Lie (where you are hitting from)
•Club Selection and Maximum Distance that is can hit
•Wind Direction & Speed
•Ball Placement
•Flag
•Aim Target
CLUB SELECTION – On initial Tee-off, a club will be suggested to you. You may play this club or choose another from your bag. Roll the Trackball to the left or right on the Main Unit to scroll through the club choices.
Caddie Tip:
•Choose your 1 Wood (Driver) for all par 4’s and par 5’s
•Choose the lowest club that guarantees the player can reach the hole assuming a max hit (taking the lie into consideration).
•Select the Sand Wedge(SW) for Bunkers or Sand Traps
•Use any of the clubs between the Lob Wedge(LW) and the 7 iron for chipping inside 60 yards
•The Putter is the only club used on greens. Learn to aim well.
•Press the Start/Select button to change your selection if your back- swing or club selection isn’t what you wanted.
BACKSPIN – Press the BACKSPIN button before your backswing to hit the ball with some backspin. This will cause the ball to spin backwards after being hit; thereby making the distance it rolls upon landing to be minimized.
SHOT DIRECTION – Before hitting the ball, the player can adjust where they are aiming by pressing the LEFT OR RIGHT BUTTONS on the Main Unit to shape their shot or compensate for a hook or slice.
Caddie Tip: Follow the shot direction guide across the top of the Main Unit. By learning these backswing and forward swing combi- nations, you will soon be able to make that ball land right where you need to without breaking a sweat. This is especially helpful in order to get the ball to the Hole in the fewest number of shots. Practice these different shots on the Driving Range.
SWING STRENGTH – The strength of your swing will be based on a combination of your backswing and your forward swing. As you roll the trackball back, notice your club moving back as well. The farther back your club goes, the more power you are putting behind your shot. But just like real golf, you will need to connect with the ball as well. So after you have figured out how far back you want to go with your club, how fast the trackball rolled forward will also determine your swing strength. A strength percentage will be shown on the screen afterwards to indi- cate the speed of the swing.
Caddie Tip: Pay attention to your golfer and his backswing. Some-
