About

Power Golf is a golf video game released by Hudson Soft for the TurboGrafx-16 on August 29, 1989 as one of the system's launch titles. Played using primarily an overhead view of each hole, Power Golf features stroke and match play, and a competition mode that supports up to three players.
Storyline

Swing away on 18 lush holes, enter tournaments and compete to win. Keep your head down and concentrate. Release a ton of power coming out of your backswing -- like a coiled spring! Follow through. You'll need a picture-perfect swing, flawless timing and a pro's club selection. Why, you ask? Because this is real. The traps are real, the water is real, the ball is real, and your score is real.
