Hi everyone!
I uploaded my 1.0 version of Links Pro. In the .sit file you will find the 3 Disk Copy image files that you need to install the game. If there is any problem with my upload, feel free to contact me.

Also, I want to take the time to wish happy holidays to everyone in the MG community. Cheers!

Yes please upload a disk image of the floppy. It is always good to have early originals here.

by MacMaster - 2019, December 6 - 4:38am

Hey guys! I have the 1.0 version of Links Pro in my collection. It's the original floppy version. Any interest?

I just uploaded the entire Links Pro, Links Pro CD Manual. It is in PDF format. I apologize for the quality. The pdf was created from pictures of each page. The manual doesn't lend itself to easy scanning.

by Kitchen2010 - 2015, July 23 - 11:43am

I have added the Links Pro directory from MacsRUS' archive.

Just burn them to a disc using Disk Utility if you have a Mac. If you use Windows, use ImgBurn.

How i can use Cdr files?

by vintagegeek - 2014, January 27 - 7:38pm

I downloaded and cranked it up this weekend. Ran great under OS9 in Sheepshaver. It is a Toast image so you need to have the Toast app to grab the ".toast" file and then mount it from Toast. Then open the mounted image and go from there. As with most Golf Games it took a few minutes to get use to the subleties of the swing dial and changing the shot direction via the rotate dial. Great Fun!

by IIGS_User - 2013, June 25 - 7:35pm

Anyone able to locate the manual to upload it?

by vintagegeek - 2013, June 25 - 6:51pm

Does it include the Manual?

by IIGS_User - 2013, February 17 - 4:32am

Links Pro Courses, yes.
~~Currently uploading...~~
Done.

Can someone upload the 'Links Pro Courses CD and Links Championship Edition CD?

by LuckyMcD23 - 2012, June 30 - 9:32am

Links Championship Edition would be a wonderful addition. It is a very fine golf sim. An even better addition would be Jack Nicklaus Golf 4. It was the only edition of the sim available for Mac and was also a really good golf sim. Even better was the course designer, which to this day is still the best available.

by IIGS_User - 2011, October 28 - 5:48pm

Would that be an interesting addition to the Garden?

Yes. (this' a link to Amazon.com)

I remember, I owned the Championship Edition a while ago, but sold it away.

Ah, awesome golf simulation! I've played this one for hours. Got me hooked on golf which I despised as incredibly boring before. Then Links came and took my heart right away

I believe I have the successor in my collection. It's called "Links Championship Edition". Runs on OS 9 and early versions of X. Came on three CDs if I recall correctly. Would that be an interesting addition to the Garden?
