BATTERY INSTALLATION
On the back of the main unit, remove the batter y compartment and insert 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 operate 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.

• Club Selection and Maximum Distance that is can hit
• Wind Direction & Speed
• Ball Placement

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 ma x 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.

ADULT SUPERVISION IS RECOMMENDED WHEN INSTALLING BATTERIES.
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 controls 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 T V 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.
PLAY ROUND – 1 to 4 players will compete against each other, with
a maximum stroke count of 10, while playing all 18 holes of the golf
course. Hit the fewest number of strokes in 18 holes to win.
MATCH PLAY – 2 players compete to post the best score for each hole.
The player with the lowest stroke count on a hole will be awarded one
point for each hole. The player with the most points at the end of 18
holes takes the trophy.
TOURNAMENT – 1 to 4 players compete against computer generated
scores or other players (up to 4) while playing all 18 holes of the golf
course. There are three tournament difficulties:
• Bronze Cup (Easy)
• Silver Cup (Medium)
• Gold Cup ( Hard)
The player with the lowest score on the board wins the tournament and
takes the trophy.
DRIVING RANGE – This is where the player can practice driving, work
on their slice or hook, or just learn to become one with the ball.
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 combinations, 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 for ward 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 indicate the speed of the swing.
Caddie Tip : Pay attention to your golfer and his backswing. Some-
times it is the smar ter play to only use a little backswing, so as to not
overshoot the ball.
BALL PATH – The path that the trackball is rolled will determine the
path of the ball. The ball can either be sliced, hooked, or right on target.
Adjust your aim using the Right and Left Buttons, and use one of the
combinations described under Shot Direction above.
LIES AND GROUND SURFACES – Depending on the surface of the
ground that the ball is laying on, your Power Percentage could be affected for better or worse. Surfaces include: Tee, Fairway, Sand, Buried,
Cabbage, Rough, Fringe, Green, Cart Path and O.B. (Out of Bounds).
Once the ball is hit from the Tee View, the camera will follow the ball and
then switch to Bird’s Eye View to follow it until it stops. If the ball is on
the Green, remember to compensate for slope.
When a hole is complete, the score card will be shown, with ranks for
all the players. When the 18th hole is complete the score card will be
displayed again.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
TV
To locate your auxiliary channel, which is usually not 3 or 4, but a gaming channel found between 2 and 99 (example 2, 1, 0, 99), first try 00 to
see if it is the auxiliary channel. Channels downwards from 3 until a Line
1 or Line 2, Video 1 or Video 2, Front, Aux, AV, etc., appears on screen,
then push the power button on the game and it should automatically
come on if you have selected the correct channel. If this does not work,
another way to determine your auxiliary channel is to take a look at your
television remote. There may be a button on the remote that may take
you directly to the correct channel. The buttons you are looking for may
be labeled Input, AUX, AV, Line, TV/ Video, or Video. If your remote has
one of these buttons, turn your television back to Channel 3 and select
that button. The power button on the game should be turned on in order
for the game to appear on the television. If your television remote does
not have any of these buttons, and channel 00 is not working, you may
need to search the main menu for a way to determine your auxiliary
channel. If none of these methods have helped you locate your auxiliary
channel, you may need to check your owner’s manual and/or contact a
local television repair company.
VCR
When connecting to a VCR, you must first start with a blue background
showing on your television screen. To obtain a blue screen, try inserting
a videotape into the VCR, let it start to play, then hit the stop button. This
may give you a blue screen, then you can channel down to your auxiliar y
channel. If the blue screen still does not appear, try entering your TV
and/or VCR main menu and see if it gives you options to select a blue
screen background. Many times if you enter the main menu on your
television you can change the setting from cable to video and display a
blue screen. Also if you have an older television, you may locate a hidden door on your television that has color, picture, horizontal, vertical,
and cable, antennae buttons. If your television includes this panel, you
can select the antennae/cable button and see the blue screen appears.
If you have tried all of these options and are still unsuccessful connecting the console, then you may need to check your VCR owner’s manual
or contact the manufacturer to find out how to set up your VCR for
console games.
Remember, you can’t play our games through a cable box or satellite, so
if you own one of these make sure it is turned off before connecting the
game. You can connect our games through DVD players with the same
connection as a VCR.
If you still have difficulty with setup or operation of your game, please
call our players helpline mentioned at the end of this manual.
