A step up from the ol' reliable PGA Golf, adds several nifty features.

Chip Shot is a lot like the real thing. You love it, and you
hate it. Quite enjoyable game - makes me want to break my putter over my knee!
There are several improvements over the original PGA Golf cartridge. Most
notable among them are:
- 18 holes
- Improved graphics
- Close-up of putting green
- Wider course variety
The graphics are nice, and the holes challenging. There are lots of small
touches that make this a very nice game. As you'd expect, the sound is sparse -
so the rating isn't because it's bad, it's just that there's so little.

The Digital Press site reports that
this game has two ROM variants (crediting Ian Holbrough). Ostensibly, the ROM
variant is that in the special credits screen (see Easter Eggs
section), some versions give a 'Caddie' credit, while others give a 'Caddy'
credit.
Personally, I've so far only seen 'Caddie' in the carts that have
passed through my hands, while the ROM images floating around out there seem
to be of the 'Caddy' variety. Anyone out there able to confirm with an actual
physical cartridge that the 'Caddy' version exists?
A total of two Chip Shot Super Pro Golf manual variants have been documented.

Compared to the old PGA Golf standby, these holes are lush! |
 |
Another vast improvement over the original PGA Golf is the close-up view for the green. Not a mere graphical embellishment, it also adds effects such as the slop of the green. |
