This topic can play out two ways: take the
“scenic route” by customizing the gameplay
and course conditions with the Play Golf
approach, or take a straightforward shortcut
by using the Quick Start method.
To use Quick Start
1. On the Main Menu, click Quick Start.
2. In the Quick Start screen, click a course in the
Course to Play drop-down list.
3. Select the number of players for the new
round (1-4).
4. From the Players in the Game drop-down list,
select the players.
5. Click Begin Play.
Play Golf: Customize a New Round
Unlike Quick Start, which uses default settings such
as Stroke mode of play (see FYI 1), no wind, average
green speed and hardness, and so on, Play Golf lets
you choose your own preferences (see topic 5).
Links 2003 Main Cam
Whether you choose to Quick Start or Play Golf, the
 rst thing you see when you begin a new round is
the Main Cam. See FYI 2 (this page) and the graphic
(next page). This is the primary viewing window in
Links 2003.
