Description from the publisher:
Despite what appear to be very simple golfer keywords, HMG realistically captures the real-life abilities of real pro golfers. The top golfers will dominate your tourney events. The big hitters will time and again launch monster shots that put them in position to break par. The "golden" putters make the clutch putts that others miss. Those who have demonstrated their prowess out of the bunker or rough will have you nodding in admiration as they do the same thing on your tabletop! And, just like in real golf, intangibles matter, too! Experience, mood, momentum—there are keywords for those, too, with both positive and negative ramifications. Every golfer gets his own unique, individual card, a compilation of all the keywords applicable to his game.
