No Good Gofers

I traded for this game with a friend of mine and it has quickly become a favourite. Very tough to get a good score  - just like in real golf! This game revolves around 2 gophers - Buzz and Bud - who wreck havoc on a golf course and seem to have a running war with the golfers. So it's gofers versus golfers.

Sound familiar? One of my all time favourite movies is Caddyshack with Rodney Dangerfield, Bill Murray and Chevy Chase. This game takes some of the familiar elements of the movie and incorporates it into the pinball game. Essentially you want to complete all 18 holes, but I have never gotten above 13 or so. After 9 holes is a Hole-in-One competition. The hole in one shot is difficult to complete as it sits on an upper playfield at the back of the playfield. There is another game trading on the golf and gopher theme - Teed Off, by Gottlieb, but it pales in comparison to this game,

The gophers have a similar taunting process to the trolls in Medieval Madness. This game is a Pat Lawlor design, like my Safe Cracker.
