You will need the game "Mean 18" and GS-ShrinkIt (also called "GSHK", "ShrinkIt-GS", ...) to unShrink a course to a Mean 18 course diskette or to your Mean 18 folder on hard disk. A number of different users have created Mean 18 courses using the course designer utility included with the game. These vary widely in challenge Level and landscaping. The files may arrive on your GS as "Text" type files. This is okay. GS-ShrinkIt can deal with .shk and .acu files even if they are called "Text" files by GS/OS. If you are launching a deportected version of Mean 18 from hard disk, your Mean 18 stuff can be in a folder on any hard disk volume. However, it may be necessary to first copy the course files (including any Saves) for the courses you wish to play to the main (root) directory of the boot volume. Any saves will be to this volume. After playing, you can copy any Saves to your Mean 18 folder and, then erase the course files from your boot volume main directory.

Think of all the potential the alphabet has for possible hole layouts. And what about the tree configurations possible. The front nine lulls you into thinking this is an easy course, but wait until the back nine. It is tough if you take the chances offered to try to score well. Lots of water and sand on this course and fun greens. I had a lot of fun creating this course in thanks to all those who created courses that I have downloaded and enjoyed. Enjoy it and send any comments to me.

Some of them have been uploaded over 200 times, so I decided to put them in one package. They are Kemper Lakes, Oak Hill, Thinking Man's, Royal Kaanapali, Skara Brae & Brutal Golf. Kemper Lakes Course (included in SIXPACK.SHK) File: KEMPER.M18 Site of the 1989 PGA Championship, Kemper Lakes is one of the toughest tests of golfing skill in the world. It has only been open since 1979 and it is ranked in the top 100 courses in the United States. The PGA was held on August 10-13, 1989 and the championship was won by Payne Stewart with a 72 hole score of -4. I designed it using the official yardage book from the PGA tournament, so it is as exact as I could make it. Hole #3 is the signature hole with the Kemper Lakes logo. Enjoy and try to beat Stewart's score. For anyone trying to design a course, I would suggest downloading the Isles Charlyn course. This course inspired me to make my courses imaginative and interesting. Oak Hill Course (included in SIXPACK.SHK) File: OAKHILL.M18 The East course of Oak Hill Country Club, Rochester, N.Y. is the site for this year's U.S. Open. A fitting host for a Big Four event, the Oak Hill course boasts both a rich tradition and a superior layout. Designed by renowned golf-course architect Donald Ross in 1926 (translated by Tom Coates for Mean 18), Oak Hill has hosted two previous Opens (1956 and 1968) and a PGA Championship. Curtis Strange is the defending champion. Thinking Man's Golf (included in SIXPACK.SHK) File: THINKING.M18 This course is based on 3M's 1966 board game. There are 18 holes from championship courses in the US. It is very challenging. The text file included lists all of the holes and golf courses. Royal Kaanapali Course (included in SIXPACK.SHK) File: KAANPALI.M18 The Royal Kaanapali Golf Course is on the beautiful island of Maui in the Hawaiian Islands. Maui No Ka Oi means Maui Is The Best. Whale watching is popular on Maui and watch out for the Banyan Trees!!! Skara Brae Dunes Course (included in SIXPACK.SHK) File: SKARA.M18 After fighting off Fire-Breathing Dragons, numerous Berserkers, downing several tankards of Ale and singing along with the local Bard, a warrior needs some relaxation. After visiting the nearest Mystic Healer to acquire the magick needed to guide the tiny white orb straight and true, the golfing Avatar heads for the Mythical Island of Skara Brae to challenge the Dunes course owned by the firm of Mangar & Mondain. You will need all of the magick you can muster to break par. There seems to be a strange wind on some holes that will affect you shot. Good luck and watch out for the monster of Loch Shiin. This is the first course that I have designed from scratch. My other courses (Kaanapali, Thinking Man's & Brutal) were taken from course layouts. I was inspired by Larry McEwen's three courses when I came up with the idea for this course. I hope others take a clue from his elegance of design. Brutal Golf Course (included in SIXPACK.SHK) File: BRUTAL.M18 This Mean 18 golf course is a compilation of holes from the book "100 Best Golf Holes In The World". It includes the infamous "Hell's Half Acre" #7 at Pine Valley in New Jersey and the famous "Lone Cypress" #16 at Cypress Point in Monterrey, CA. All of the holes have a water hazard except "Hell's Half Acre" which is mostly sand. It isn't easy to beat par, my best score is 70. The included text file lists all of the holes.

Jordan A course I once played in Nevada. It is designed after a real course, so no ugly surprises like trees in the middle of fairways (in fact, there aren't many trees in the desert)! Unpack with shrinkit and copy to course disk. Play Sunrise Vista! _________________ Subj: Swamp Mean 18 Course (ACU) Date: June 29, 1989 From: Psidell File: SWAMP.ACU (45732 bytes) DL time (19200 baud): < 1 minute AUTHOR: Steve Sidell This is the remains of a once magnificent course, where the superintendant forgot to do his job! Watch out for the water, and there is a good chance you will rough it up a bit... __________________ Subj: Tamarack C.C.

The course is set in the middle of the mountains, with mostly green and a bit of water and forests around you. Pretty difficult, with a lot of curves! __________________ Subj: Twin Oaks Golf Course (SHK) Date: July 29, 1990 From: Monopole File: TWINOAKS.SHK (41433 bytes) DL time (19200 baud): < 1 minute AUTHOR: Mark Defranza A challenging but fair course layout set in a beautifal autumn landscape. Whacking the ball as hard as you can isn't the answer. This isn't a "hack and slash" course. Requires good shot placement, proper club selection, and a little luck. Comments/complaints encouraged. Have fun :). __________________ Subj: Twirloo Mean 18 Course (ACU) Date: April 1, 1990 From: AFA Parik File: TWIRLWOO.ACU (31471 bytes) DL time (19200 baud): < 1 minute Mean 18 course ported over from the IBM version.
