Loved this game. I can hear those birds tweeting as I swing.

Links386 taught me how to fine tune my computer. You had to load a vesa driver and fit it in the 640k memory space DOS had, along with any other drivers like cd-rom or your sound blaster. I was constantly tweaking my autoexec.bat and config.sys to try and fit everything in the 640 and still have the game run smooth. Thank heavens dos 6.2 had upper memory management.
I played in a links386 tournament where you emailed your scores in to a guy in England. People from all over the world were playing in it up until Links LS was released. It was on the honor system, you had to record the game and not start it over if you munged it up early. I got pretty good, coming in 3rd most every week. If you played a lot it was actually pretty easy.
Damn, that was a long time ago as well, about 1994-95.
