The PS2 version also features an exclusive single player mode, Gopher Hunt. The object is to eliminate the gophers by driving the ball through them.**
Each hole features a number of randomly placed gophers, which the player has to eliminate before they get to the flag.
King of Clubs, for PlayStation 2 and PC , is available from all of the usual retailers from tomorrow.
**No gophers were harmed during the making of this game, although the Course Pros will never work again!
