   There are two GS-specific golf games that I know of: Electronic Arts'
_World_Class_Golf, and Accolade's _Mean_18_. I haven't worked (played?)
with WCG, but I've seen that it has a wind gauge, some terrain effects,
etc.
   Mean 18, however, has no wind. It does have trees, terrain, and an
editor so if you really hate a tree, you can go back to that course
later and take it out. You can also make up your own, and I've seen
quite a number of Mean 18 courses in the public domain. M18 is a lot of
fun.

   Not until Robert Wagner Enterprises comes out with their Hypercard
Clone for the GS, I'm sorry. <<** UNSUBSTANTIATED RUMOR ALERT **>>
