My high school girlfriend had an NES with one game: GOLF! Turned out her dad, who was an avid golfer, bought an NES just to have this game. We played it often, and always made that hilarious ball-flying sound.

My dad and I bought Jack Nicklaus Golf at a flea market together. It was the only game he played on NES. I have fond memories of coming home and finding him playing in my room. RIP, Dad, I miss you.

Before I ever knew what golf really was, seeing my friends playing this video game mesmerized me. It became a must-have in my NES collection.

My uncle was the one who got golf,he was in his teens at the time and most of my fledgling nes games collection was thanks to him

What a specific piece of gaming nostalgia - the Dad factor being the reason why Golf was part of the NES collection. This one hit home. Great video as always. Thank you for your work.

My dad didn't buy Golf. It was given to me for a few hours a week by the guy that came by on Thursdays after my dad went to work. Golf must really stand for "Gentlemen Only, Ladies Forbidden" because my mom always went in her room for hours while I played. She knew it was for me only, what a good lady.

This was my great grandmother's favorite game. She was 70 years old playing her Nintendo.

Heh, we used to have NES Golf in the 80s because my dad used to play real golf, and that's how we ended up with it. I didn't know anything about how to play golf, but the game was fun trying to get the ball where you wanted it to go. And those sound effects? Iconic. =)

I could totally see Golf gripping the interested of an older generation for the concept of being an activity they would also enjoy. Was targeted towards the family after all! This was great and it's nice to see a piece of your childhood!

Tyler, this is the only NES game my Dad would play with me. He would come home from work and play a round with me. Another great video with that extra attention to detail. Keep up the good work.

I got one for you brother...my dad was also a gamer in the arcades back in the day and he loved video games. So as a family my Dad always played sports games with my brother and I. Double Dribble, Golf, Baseball, Soccer, Volleyball, Ice Hockey, Blades of Steel, Punch Out, Pro Wrestling, etc. my pop loved Top Gun and he was the only one that could land the plane. lol Yeah my Pop loved sports video games especially on the NES. I always have great fond memories of this console plus my Dad played with us. He is awesome! My Pop used to have a paper chart for playoffs on our teams etc. for championships on every NES video game and we'd play till we got tired or just lost. My Dad made video games an event and it was fun until our Mom had to tell us to cut it since we'd all play till late at night and over and over again. lol Still great fond memories. Glad your Pop loved Golf and Nintendo as well. Dads are the best! A+++++

Glad to see you’re still at it. Keep it going

Me and my dad played it when I was little and me and my sons play it now ! Great memories and thanks for putting a smile on my face today! Really needed the good memories

Golf was one of my favorites. Once you mastered the club swing process it became infinitely addictive!

I got really excited because I saw Mullet Boy! But I was not first. Still, another fantastic video! Especially making something I have little interest in, Golf for NES, an exciting and engaging topic! Keep up the great work!

When you said to "just take a listen to" the soundtrack, an ad popped up for a zombie game and I was like "that doesn't sound like the silent golf" lol

I got mine because of my grandfather, its the only video game he ever played. I learned to play real golf because of him. Watching this brought back some great memories. Thanks.

to all the dads out there great teaching this game definitely helped me when it came to patience

Always thought that was Mario on the cover too. NES open tournament was good as well.

Absolutely a Dad purchase, and now 35 years later I have like 50 Golf games on consoles, handhelds, and computers.

I had nes open . This however was different to this game but I loved playing the golf games. Like many my dads hobby was golf and this was the only game he really played

Yep, had this one and Lee Trevino's Fighting Golf because of our dad. It's why I gravitate to video golf games to this day. Great video - thank you for all the background and personal memories!

Impressive research on the topic! Golf is always one of those nice and relaxing games to play when you don’t have much time or don’t feel like too hard of a challenge, very pleasant and stress free game.

My dad's favorite game. When my parents got us the NES for Christmas 1987, my dad made sure to have the golf game wrapped up for him. ;) It's the exact same story! wow

That’s Mario on the cover art...I don’t care what your research says. Great video Tyler!

Great video. So many memories coming back of playing this with my Dad and Grandfather. We would play 4 rounds. Keep stats in an old notebook. Great times.

My story is exactly like your father is. My dad bought it to play for him but we played it all the time.

Yep. My stepdad bought it for me as a kid and I was confused because I knew nothing about golf. But I understood video games, so I understood the controllers, and figured out the three click swing and he got how the last click being left or right of the bar created hook and slice, and he also knew average club distances and taught me the basics of golf. I've loved that game ever since and still play it to this day. Great video.

Golf was the perfect nail in the coffin for dads to justify buying the game console for their kids. It's the game of a sport that they like.

I got a copy of this CIB for $2 a couple of years ago. Sadly I didn’t hang onto it. Great video as usual!

Thanks for the Video. Bring all Memories. 🥰 Yes. This is the only game that i played with my Dad. And introduce me of the game of Golf. A year after. My parents got me my first set of golf set with my size. And played our first Golf game (only front 9 holes) ☺️ Wow all those memories come back. I just shared this Video to my dad and we had a blast down Memory lane. Thanks and Thanks again ❤️

Tyler, long time since I have posted, but I have been watching the videos. Thanks for posting this m. My dad loved this game and we used to play this together all the time. Such a great memory for me, especially since he passed about six years ago. We used to take this game and super Mario and play on Friday nights when he was down with work and when he would get done with bowling league. He would wake me up and ask me if I wanted to play. Appreciate the memory refresh pal. Hope all is well mate. Take care

I made the TAS for NES Golf. The TAS finished the game in 4:58.49 with a score of 32. Great video. I was hoping to see more technical side, but this video had a lot of good historical stuff

Yup. Golf was one of the games my parents (Santa) got me with my NES. Dad played it. We also played a lot of Tecmo Baseball and he was so into Bomberman, he bought the NES Advantage controller just for that game.

I've been off youtube for a while and came back to see your video in my recommended. I subscribed back when I was in middle school, and you have no idea how much nostalgia you gave me when I watched the video. The pandemic kind of blurred the last year for me, making it feel longer than any year in my life, but seeing this video really brought me back. I'm happy you have a substantial following now. Keep it up!

I never had this game as a kid. My neighbor did though that’s where I first played it. I think it’s more of an adult game. Now that I’m in my 40s I absolutely love it.

Once again you have out done yourself with this very informative video! Always look forward to G3 uploads 👌

I love your reviews I get so excited when I see the alerts

That was a really nice video good job 👍

You always have such thorough background info on these games you choose to discuss. I have a similar story with Bases Loaded. We got the NES for Christmas plus Bases Loaded because my dad found it entertaining. I never had Golf on NES, but I’m currently playing Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour with my dad, who is a non-gamer. I’m glad it’s been something for us to enjoy together.

Interesting insight. Definitely thought this would have been a pump and dump game for NES to produce. Never thought it would have been hard to program.

I remember playing this and the baseball one.. great vídeo... By the way the baseball game had a glitch whenever you was the pitcher you throw to second base without anyone being there and you give the opposite team an out

Great video, have you ever thought about doing a video on all the "short comings and tricks" you had to do with the nes? I remeber always having to blow into the games and we had to keep a block of wood ontop of the game to keep it down where it needed to be. Also we would turn it on and have a green screen. Stuff like that

I hope you post more bro I just found this channel today because KZfaq recommended me one of your videos on my home page and your channel is awesome bro

This was actually my first purchased NES game (Mario/Duckhunt were bundled) My father was a contractor and was renovating at bar, so I would hang out there and play on the table style Nintendo VS Golf. Later, when I received a NES on Christmas 1989, I asked for this game.

I love these videos! I just picked up Golf today and for $8 can't go wrong. Thanks G3 for bring more joy to my NES collecting and remember my childhood 🙂

Love your content been a fan for a couple years a very underrated channel

Great video as always Tyler. Love how you hit on the feels with the music and images. I bet every kids Dad that bought the a NES also picked this game up too. I can say I def played it. I think maybe we rented it. I never watched Golf on TV but if it was on the NES we had to try it out. I love that you saw the courses as different shapes. Missed opportunity from Nintendo to make references to other games and what not with that

GGG golf balls 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 dude u crack me up lol. Awesome question though i wonder how the heck i got mine lol. Awesome video man i cant beleive i missed this one.

My grandparents owned a golf course when I was growing up in Kentucky. Not only did I have NES Golf I also had Bandai's Challenge Pebble Beach game.

My dad was in the air force and I remember when he would take me to work, there would be so many officers playing this game and talking trash to each other.

My grandma gave me Golf one year when I was a kid. I had never been golfing, I never watched golf on TV, I showed zero interest in the sport. But as my mom said "you better play that game when she comes over"

Me and my dad played this game all the time when we couldn't go fishing..Great memories.

First thing I did when I got home after a busy day and having some time to unwind, nothing like GGG a true video game nostalgia paradise 👍🏼👍🏼

My NES came bundled with Golf and RC Pro Am. I later learned that this "sports set" was Canada exclusive.

I had this title, but my father was not a golfer and didn't watch it on TV. lol I had this title because a cousin gave it to me because I liked it so much while at her house playing it. Also, I must be one of the very few who is so glad that modern games have the option to turn off the music because it gets on my nerves. I never even thought about their not being music in Golf, but as an adult, it makes sense (concentration is supposedly more important for hitting a ball that isn't moving than in any other sport lol).

Memories of playing video games with your family are often the most treasured ones.

Heck yes, man. Thanks for another great video!

I absolutely love this game. I'm confident that I have the world record also, though I can never prove it. 51. I haven't played in years but every so often I get the bug and try to break my record again. The best golf game on any console ever!

Nice video for a game that doesn't require much explanation. I hope we can expect something similar whenever you get around to pinball?

Tyler great video!!!! Love the intro with Karate Kid Daniel-San chopping the wood.I had Chozen,Daniel, and Johnny as a kid and I so wanted the Attack Alley Playset.Hope all is well.

I didnt have the NES Golf game but I did have the Game Boy Golf game and I played the heck out if it. The only black box sports title I had was Tennis which I also played a lot but could never beat the computer in the highest level.

Used to own this game as a kid and really enjoyed it. Though like you, I had no idea how to golf.

Always glad to see a new video

My dad definitely played it and he held the controller vertically. He was really good at it too.

@GenerationGapGaming this is one of the few NES games I have never played. You got me when you said "check out the soundtrack" 🤣. I was ready to hear charming chiptune music along the lines of "Hogan's Alley" or "Baseball." Good one lmao!

GenerationGapGaming Thanks for that content; I had goosebumps the entire video! I definitely owned Nintendo Golf because of my father who still is an avid participant in the sport. Not only did I think my desire to purchase Nintendo Golf would, in some obtuse way, be some bonding tool between he and I, I knew that the game would be met with immediate approval by the person that was responsible for purchasing it...yep, good old Dad! Sadly, we have never played a round on Nintendo Golf together, but (God willing) we still have some time left. Cheers!

I sucked at this game... But I'd still play it. And that's what makes the difference between a good and bad game.

I love how golf games up to this day still have the same basic controls. One my favorites is the Links series from the 90's on PC.

I too would always play this game when I didn't know what I wanted to play. Even those weekends when I rented a dud at the video store, Golf was always there. I'm looking at you Top Gun...... I don't know where I got my Golf game from though.

Let’s go!!

The main games my dad would play with me back in the day was Rad Racer on NES and Streets of Rage on Genesis. Now, I have played what feels like thousands of games with my 2 adult sons. Halo probably being the most played. Good times. Games are so underrated for bonding with parents or kids.

Ive got my Nintendo NES Ice Climber bundle with Super Mario Bros on top of that christmas 1987, and just 1 month and a week later my dads Birthday is 2nd February So we got Golf for him in birthday present (well my mom did) Cause both mom and dad plays golf so that was the perfect gift ^^ But he only played it a few times. And the console was in my room so naturally it was just added to mine collection =) I was born 1981 so I was just 7 at the time. Still have the boxes for both the console and my childhood games I value them above rare games like Mr Gimmick and Flintstones 2 etc etc in my collection =)

I was born Feb '86 and had an NES at home and both grandparents' houses. My grandfather had Golf, and I later inherited his NES collection. hole 2 was def a monster

Man the first statement you said in the video is one that I ask myself all the time.

Another great video, keep it up!

Nothing excites me more than seeing that a new GGG video has been posted!

I bought a copy of Golf for the NES in April 2018 and it was confiscated by police the same day. Seriously. It wasn’t the end of the world because I already had a boxed copy. Unfortunately, I lost that one earlier this year after getting displaced by an EF-4 tornado. I had well over 600 different NES titles.

The thing that blows my mind about this game is that there are people out there that have posted speedrun videos. The slowest most chill title on the console has speed runs.

Very awesome video Tyler. Maybe you can do one of the games from the Wizards & Warriors series

Even though I don’t get a chance to play golf that often for real, I enjoy golf video games. Looking back, I’m pretty sure it was NES Golf that first got my attention. I actually learned a little a bit about the sport from playing some of those early 8 & 16 bit golf games.

You made this game a lot more interesting!

Can confirm, we had Golf because of my dad. He and I played the hell of it back then. We moved on to PGA Tour Golf in the SNES days. Little brother could join us because PGA TG could have more than 2 players.

Golf was in my house too and no one knows how it got there but we played it all the time and I had no idea what I was doing. My dad liked to play it because it was the one game he could beat me at.

Another great video bro!!

This was so well done! I to this day have never played the game. My first golf game was Mario Golf 64 followed by the Tiger Woods series on playstation. How the heck did you learn about Captain Rainbow? That is some awesome detective work!

I never played Golf on the NES but I know my dad would have loved that game, he was a big time golfer.

I had golf. I thought it was a fun game then. I'd play casually when I was alone.

never played nes golf, but had Lee Trevino's Fighting Golf for the NES as a kid which i loved

I wouldn't get Golf until I was about 18 or 19. I got it second-hand. It's a very solid game I have to admit.

Nice video. Actually thought Golf looked great for the time.

I got a suggestion called Doodle World it’s a fan made NES game made with NES maker you could play it on the emulator or you can play on real NES hardware

This may sound weird to everyone else, but I loved getting my ball either in OB ("out of bounds") or into the water ("water hazard"). I also loved to see how high I could get my score. My only complaint is that the number of shots on each hole peaks at 99, no matter how many more shots I can take (with the help of going "OB" or into the "Water Hazard" many, *MANY* times). I love the low-tone *BEEP-BEEP-BEEP!* sound effects, along with the rest of the sounds.

I’m a little older than you and my dad is the reason we had video black jack on the Atari. He picked it up when we asked him to buy us Pac-Man. He played it often. I enjoyed it also even though I was in early elementary. 🙂

I noticed Cobra Triangle on this video one of my favorite nes games i never owned Golf wish I did I have it on a emulator i play it alot it is addictive I'll admit

Thank you for another great video. 🎮

my grandfather played 1 hole while watching me play. he would tell me what clubs to use. still play it

I really enjoy playing this game.Despite the fact that I don't really play golf in real life.Lol.

Very good video, really enjoyed it :) Always nice to learn more about the systems and games I missed. First golf game we had was Links for the PC, played it a lot with my Dad back in the day.
