Microsoft Golf 2001 is the easy way to enjoy a fun round of golf on the PC. Duffers are invited to visit the Golf 2001 site to learn about how the game is designed for the new PC golfer, combining easy-to-use features with picture-quality graphics.

The official Microsoft Golf 2001 Web site provides PC golfers with in-depth descriptions of the seven courses found in the game, which includes Mauna Kea, Bountiful Ridge and Sea Island to name a few. The site also offers an introduction to the game, detailed feature list, and scores of screen shots highlighting the life-like graphics in the game.

Microsoft Golf 2001's easy-to-use features get players into the game quickly. There are lessons to teach players how to aim, swing, putt, and more. The one-click Easy Swing interface makes it simple for beginners to hit that perfect shot every time. Golf 2001 also keeps the challenge fresh with a variety of game and course options. Seven unique courses allow players to experience different course layouts and terrain. With eight different golfer animations as well as ten different types of games, beginner PC golfers will find variety and challenge with every click of the mouse. Microsoft Golf 2001 is based on Links LS technology, the best-selling golf sim of all-time.

Microsoft offers golf gamers two compelling titles this year: Links 2001 and Microsoft Golf 2001. Designed for different segments of the golf market, the games complement each other by broadening the PC golf experience to include both the new and seasoned golfer. Microsoft Golf 2001 is designed with the new PC golfer in mind, with easy-to-use features and a one-click Easy Swing interface. Links 2001 is targeted at the serious PC golfer who wants an in-depth golf experience and appreciates a wide range of features, including the ability to expand his/her course library.
