PLATO Flats © 1977 Stone & Battenberg.
A golfing simulation. The game features various terrain types such as sand and water hazards, rough, fairway, putting greens, trees, etc. The game uses a top down view to display the course with various zoom levels. For each turn the player must pick a club and adjust aim based on wind velocity and direction as well as give a power level for the swing. The game allows play with multiple players over the network. Also included is a driving range for practising hitting the ball.
The game was eventually removed from the PLATO network and recreated from scratch as 'Golf'.
