Excel TGI Golf GameExcel TGI Golf Game• The golf game consists of a 9-hole golf course and

a Clubhouse (scorecard).

• Each hole looks different but in general, plays the same way.

• You can play the rules of Golf, allowing the player furthest from the hole to hit (be delivered the next question).

• Answering questions correctly results in a better shot and eventually a lower score on each hole.

• Watch out though, a wrong answer can land you Out of Bounds and cost you valuable strokes!

A drop list allows you set set the time you have alloted to play. This allows you

to toggle the sound on and off.

This button will send you to the Clubhouse. This where you need to go to start the game.

The Question buttons will take you to the sheets where the questions are stored that the game uses. One sheet for each level of questions. You can add and edit questions here but we recommend you do this using the TGI Questions.xls file which comes with the game.

This button will let you import a group of questions from a separate file. Here you can import pre-packaged question sets from TGI or create your own question files using the TGI Questions.xls file that comes with each game (recommended).

Watch out for the traps and water. But even if you get in one of them - you can still hit out of it.
