Those were exciting days, very similar now with PG. PC video golf had a huge market in the beginning of the home computer era. We most likely did play each other at any one of those sites you mentioned.
I was happy for Paul, having M.S., Links gave him a hobby that turned into a great income for two years. I remember reading an article where he bought 5000 copies of Links 2003 and donated them to the Multiple Sclerosis Foundation.

Yep, I played Paul in the Zone and most likely
many who made it here to PP.
Funny, I still have the 5" floppies from
LINKS The Challenge of Golf circa 1990. And
still have the scorecards and bag tags that
came in the box with the disc.
Great Times

I had the fortune, or misfortune, to have played Paul a dozen times or so.
Eked out one win on one of Paul's rare bad days.
He was indeed, in a class by himself in those days.
I still have every Links disc, along with the scorecards and bag tags.

Yup, echo the above and was another of his victims on the courses. Had some good chats with him too 'back in the day'.....!

And it would nice to carry that "good relationship feeling" forward into Perfect Golf. PG will be as great an impact on the PC Golfer world just like the Links series was back-in-the-day.
