This is a second entry. First blog entry January 2018. Five years. Yikes.

This is a calendar program that uploads data to your watch. I wish I had the watch and interface. Just have to use my iPhone and Apple Watch.

The link below on Applefritter has some nice info. The program author made a few entries.

Original Dinosaur Golf for Mean18 on IIGS

July 26, 2022

This is the original version of Dinosaur Golf from which my versions are derived [ DinoGolf2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 ]. Many of the holes in the original are overcrowded with growth and you can not see the pin. But there are some very nice hole designs. Like number 9, where you can’t just whack the driver. You have to select the right club or end up in the water. And no.4 hole par 5 which can be reached in two if you do it just right. See pics below. I’ve posted the link to the disk image below. Also the link to the disk image of all 5 DinoGolf versions. The original course disk is renamed Dino1989. The back nine is a real bear, especially 12, 13, 14. I still can’t break par after 5 years.

August 11th 2022 – Took years to break par. Really need to calculate your efforts.

Mean18 2 New Courses Tornado and Pithy Par 4s

July 23, 2022

Here are my mid 2022 Mean18 Course releases. There are 2 new courses. Tornado, the name pretty much tells you the challenge. And Pithy Par 4s. Pithy is super fun as you can drive nearly all the par 4 holes and reach the par 5s in 2 shots. The courses are on a single 800k 2mg disk image. I build my courses on a IIGS running everything from a FloppyEmu. After testing there I test in the Sweet16 IIGS emulator.

Enjoy. Leave me any comments.
