A video golf machine enables players to play simulated golf against each other. The machine presents a picture or plan of each “hole”of a selected golf course, including the length of the hole, slope (19) of the ground, positions of boundaries and of obstacles such as trees (17), shrubs, bunkers (13) and water (15) for example. For each game conditions may change such as wind direction (20) and strength, temperature, humidity, surface condition, condition of each green and any other variable affecting all players alike. Each player selects type of club and strength and direction of shot for each shot.

An electronic video game apparatus adapted for use to play a simulated game of golf, comprising video display means programmed to visually present a display of the game of golf, showing features of a golf course and showing successive positions of an imaginary golf ball on the course during the game, the apparatus being variably programmable by first means to simulate different weather conditions and/or different course conditions, the apparatus also comprising second means selectively operable by a player to simulate choices of imaginary golf club and of strengths and directions of imaginary slots, the apparatus being adapted to plot said successive positions of the golf ball in dependence upon the particular weather conditions and/or course conditions being simulated and in dependence upon the particular choices of imaginary golf club and of strengths and directions of imaginary shots, as well as in dependence upon said features of the golf course.
