Once you are happy with your options you can select your next tournament.
You have the choice of two tournaments, a major or a minor with the expenses and prize money different and also the standards of the other golfers. Once a tournament is selected you can then hire a caddy and coach and also select your hotel from a B&B to a five star hotel. You watch your golfer and his partner now play two rounds of golf with each hole shown on the whole screen from above and your progress through the tournament. After two rounds you can see if you have qualified fro the final two rounds or if it is time to go home. During a tournament you can go to the bookies and bet on other golfers.
