Description

"Lee Trevino's Fighting Golf" is an arcade-style golf video game released for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) in 1988. Developed by SNK, the game strives to blend realistic golf simulation with an accessible arcade feel, suitable for players of all skill levels. Players can choose from four different golfers, each with unique attributes, to compete across two distinct 18-hole courses: the traditional U.S. course and the more challenging Japan course. The game's controls allow players to select clubs, adjust their stance, and control swing power, aiming to provide a comprehensive golfing experience through its 2D top-down and side-view perspectives.

Notably, the game carries the endorsement of Lee Trevino, a renowned American professional golfer known for his charismatic personality and success in the golfing world, including multiple major championships. The use of his name helped to market the game and attract fans of the sport. Despite its title, there is no actual "fighting" element in the game – the word "fighting" was used to add a dynamic flair and emphasize the challenge of the game. "Lee Trevino's Fighting Golf" is remembered for its straightforward gameplay mechanics and its role in paving the way for future golf video games on home consoles, establishing foundational elements that would be refined in later titles.
