Amazon.com Review

Links LS stands out from all other golf simulations largely because of the detailed richness of the game. The physics of real life are preserved so that a ball on the screen flies like a real golf ball, each club has its own personality, and each hole is about as realistic as it can be without requiring players to replace their divots.
Mike Jensen and Chris Ferguson have provided a detailed and elegant guide to electronic golf technique that, with practice, will have you hitting beautifully placed drives, artful chip shots, and dead-accurate putts. The authors take you from the initial set-up of the game through the fine points of choosing your clubs and examining the nuances of the courses. They also go beyond technique to discuss the mental aspects of the game. At times you may find that what you're reading is as applicable to live gold as it is to the Links LS electronic version. A special section is devoted to the added pleasures of playing online with other enthusiasts, and the "brief history of golf" is an added bonus.

• starscourse management????July 16, 1998Format:
  
•  PaperbackI find it hard to belive that they could even do a course management in know for a fact that using breezy normal medium you have over 32 different wind positions and being that i have over 1000 on -line games an under par handi capp i have only had a few games that actually have matched their given shots..
  
•  In addition i find that after having developed my own distance and putting & chipping charts are much more accurate than those shown ..
  
•  I would like to say on a good note they do present a good slice & hook chart for no wind conditons and basic explaination of game is good nothing outstanding as i have heard others say...just my opion..Sheldonz TPCOne person found this helpful  Helpful  Not Helpful |Comment|Report abuseA customer4.0 out of 5 starsExcellent start for the beginner and tips for the experienceJune 28, 1998Format: PaperbackWhen i first began playing LS98 I could not find very many ways to improve. I soon after found this book by Chris Jensen about LS98. My game improved tremendously as I read it. Alot of the information is an easy read and it offers many tips for both the beginner and even a seasoned Ls98 golfer. I still use it when I am not sure about a shot, I read the pertaining paragraph, for instance windy conditions and then develop the strategy for my shot. There are many places online to get great information, but I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for that little extra edge

• LinksLs golfers...August 11, 1998Format: PaperbackA comprehensive review of the technical aspects of good scores in LinksLS. This book contains all the information necessary to take the guess work out of making great shots and shooting low scores. While the charts are the most often used feature of the book, their discussion of course and personal managment is also of value. Included are chart for all clubs, conditions, and types of shots. Practice with this data and yours scores will plummet immediately. As you gain an understanding of the physics of the great golf shot, your opponents will fall at your feet.One person found this helpful

• This is a big improvement over most "strategy guides" I've encountered. Most guides I've come across should have been included in the game itself. Jensen and Ferguson have written a book that actually adds value.I found their descriptions of the swing meters and the physics of control very helpful. So did others I know who have played the game. Nice job.One person found this
