Fred Couples Golf is a 1993 golf video game exclusively for the Game Gear.
In this video game, the player chooses from four generic golf courses and must compete in either a tournament, stroke play, or match play.[1][3] Each golfer has his/her unique strengths and weaknesses.[1][3] Names can be changed in addition to shirt color and the difficulty level.[1] Through a Game Gear link, four players can play at once.[1] Fred Couples, the famous golfer that endorsed the game, can only be used as an opponent.[1] He is not available as either a teammate or as a playable character.[1]
While the ball is on the ground, the player is shown an overhead view and must analyze it before swinging his golf club.[1] The player can also choose a caddie and is presented with the "rare" Sega Sports logo.[4]
