    Is it Focal Golf?

    Would look something like this, but… green, of course.

    You could also check out this post on Atari Archive, this video by them too, and this collection of software you could search through using Ctrl + F and then “Golf”. There’s a lot of possible matches there.

    There doesn’t really seem to be a lot of actual playable options or even recordings of a lot of them, though.

      Awesome thanks. I don’t think it’s Focal. It was a computer my friend’s dad brought home from work and I don’t think it was on tape.

        There’s a non-zero chance it was a game someone he worked with just made. My dad used to work with a guy that would program playable text based games during his down time (this was in the 90s), he ultimately went on to work at an actual game company from what I remember.
