The Enshrined

The complete contents of the Golfshrine shelves in multiple tables, organized into distinct sections since May 2025. Legacy thanks to SamTheOctopus on the Netizen Club discord for helping to sort these alphabetically.

Table of Contents:

Full-sized golf

The bulk of Golfshrine's inventory is in this section. The full-sized golf game simulates golf as it is played by professional golf associations, with shots that fly into the air, simulations of wind and slope, terrain, and an emphasis on the player choosing from multiple clubs.

Miniature golf

Golf that has been reduced in size. Perhaps golf that is intended for younger folks, more casual players, or for more fantastical concepts. Miniature golf is usually characterized by removing club selection from the equation, with putters only, and a reliance on swing power as the sole defining metric of where the shot goes.

Beavis and Butt-Head: Bunghole in One MTV Interactive, Illusions Windows Miniature golf game starring Mike Judge's two music video commentators. Pseudo-3D perspective holes set in various locations from the TV show. ...Also not actually very good. This copy has a sticker indicating it's "property of HP Compatibility Lab."

Non-standard golf

Golf that isn't games

ESPN Golf Presents: Lower Your Score with Tom Kite The 3DO Company, Intelliplay Sports 3DO (JP) Japanese release of this...collection of instructional videos. This isn't actually a game, and Tom Kite is dubbed over in Japanese 🎥, which makes it doubly useless to me (and twice as hilarious to own).
ESPN Golf Presents: Lower Your Score with Tom Kite Intelliplay Sports Windows PC version of the collection of instructional videos; all the video has been compressed into Apple QuickTime format for 256-color displays, so it looks much worse and takes up fewer CDs than the 3DO version.
