Golf is a small monochrome stick-figure golf game for the classic Mac OS, distributed as a fat binary that runs natively on both 68k and PowerPC Macintoshes. The author readily concedes it is not perfect, but pitches it as a quick, lightweight diversion for anyone who wants a no-frills round on a black-and-white screen.
Stick-figure presentation
The game leans into a deliberately minimal black-and-white aesthetic, with stick-figure golfers on simple line-art courses, in keeping with the early-1990s Mac shareware tradition of fitting a playable game into a tiny download.
Fat binary compatibility
Shipping as a fat binary, Golf runs in native code on both 68k and PowerPC Macintoshes under Classic Mac OS, sparing users of either architecture from emulation overhead.
Distribution
Golf was released as free shareware through the Info-Mac archive, the channel through which most small Mac sports and parlor games of the era reached players.
