MS Golf 1999 Edition on the Zone

Microsoft announced Golf 1999 Edition, the stand-alone upgrade of their golf series, is now available for free multiplayer matchmaking on the MSN Gaming Zone.

MS Golf 1999 Edition on the Zone is the story on November 5, 1998, and it is one of those late-1998 PC gaming updates that says exactly where the scene is right now. Microsoft announced today that Golf 1999 Edition, the stand-alone upgrade of their golf series, is now available for free multiplayer matchmaking on the MSN Gaming Zone. Golf 1999 Edition's fluid and realistic game graphics, beautifully rendered courses and accurate ball physics re-create the look and feel of a real round of golf.

The game features authentic courses, for a total of 117 holes, including North America's most challenging courses: Greg Norman's famed Medalist Golf Club in Hobe Sound, Fla.; Donald Ross Memorial Course at Boyne Highlands in northwestern Michigan; Teeth of the Dog and the Links at Casa de Campo Resort, both in the Dominican Republic; and Bay Harbor and The Preserve, both rolling along the shores of Lake Michigan. It also features 18 holes from Eagle Heights fantasy course. The business side keeps moving, and sometimes those deals decide what we actually get to play next year.
