SimGolf meets The Bill!
What does The Bill and SimGolf have in common?
| a) | SimGolf is fun, as (older eps) of The Bill are fun! |
| b) | The good bits (the game itself in SimGolf's case) are a couple of years old and were released in 2001! |
| c) | Tom Chandler plays Golf! (in Brittainniamania) |
Need anyone say more after the third point?
