Golf is a sports-simulation video game released in 1985 for the Nintendo Entertainment System. It was originally released in Japan in 1984 for the NES/Famicom. A tall guy who may or may not be Mario is the main character.
The color scheme for the player charaters is similar to Hector and Vector, the two scientists from Gyromite and Stack Up, the two R.O.B. games for the NES. The player one character wears a white shirt and shoes with blue pants and uses a white ball, while the player two character wears a red shirt and shoes with black pants and uses a red ball.

The user must first decide whether to play single stroke play or the two player selections of doubles stroke play or match play. The user is then placed at the tee of the first hole of eighteen.
It was the first golf game to feature a power/accuracy bar for swinging the club.[citation needed] The power bar method has been used in most golf games since.
