Golf is often classified as an elitist game. Only rich folk are able to afford the large selection of clubs or possess the brazen self-confidence required to wear the horrible knitwear.
Gameloft's Let’s Golf takes the opposite view however, with low barriers to entry that will doubtless entertain a vast majority of players, although it isn’t able to cater for the more discerning golfer.

In terms of control, it uses the traditional three-click approach to making your shot. The first press of the ‘5’ key starts the power bar climbing, the second stops it to determine the power of your swing, and the third should (if you’ve timed it right) stop inside a green area at the bottom that denotes the ball's sweet spot.

A more powerful stroke can be activated by pressing ‘5’ as the club hits the ball, and applying spin is easily performed by pressing a direction once said sphere is sailing towards the flag.
Pressing ‘0’ before shooting brings up the overhead map, allowing for exact positioning of your shot and automatically adjusting the club to suit the situation.
There’s also the option of cycling through the clubs using the ‘*’ and ‘#’ keys should you need an iron to prevent the ball rolling a mile away from the green.
Once on the green, Let’s Golf highlights its ease of play with different coloured arrows moving at speeds that reflect the various bumps and dips, in theory making it easier to gauge the power of the shot and progressing through the four courses on offer.
