Sensible Golf is a 2D golf game released by Sensible Software in 1995 for the Amiga. It uses the same pin-like characters as Sensible Soccer and Cannon Fodder. The theme tune was written by the lead game designer, Jon Hare, and a promotional video was directed by Carl Smyth from the group Madness and filmed in Regent's Park, London. The game received lackluster reviews and sold poorly.

A Mega Drive version was planned but never released.[1][2]

Reception

[edit]

Sensible Golf was awarded the company's lowest ever score by Amiga Power of 66% and marked a sharp decline in the fortune of Sensible Software.[3] It was to be their last commercial Amiga release, with only Sensible Train Spotting to follow.[clarification needed]

In an interview carried out almost twenty years after its release, Jon Hare said of the game: "Sensible Golf is a disappointment to me; I'm not happy with it ... We were greedy. We diluted our quality. To be honest, I was focusing on Sex 'n' Drugs 'n' Rock 'n' Roll at that time, and it was such a massive game. Between that and Sensible World of Soccer, I didn't have time for Sensible Golf, and it just slid".[4]
