Description

"Ernie Els Golf" for the Sega Game Gear is a golf simulation game that invites players to step into the shoes of Ernie Els, a professional golfer known for his impressive career and multiple major championships. The game was designed to leverage the portable nature of the Game Gear, bringing engaging golf gameplay to a handheld format.
