The user saw the golfers in T-pose with no club.

The T-pose. States 13-15 ask 0x800572a8 for animations 29, 30 and 31. Like every argument of 0x800572a8, they are logical: 0x80056fe4 maps them to the table's states 42, 43 and 44. The port played table states 29-31. For Lil and Phil those name ANM 802-806, which no golf database (23-31) has, so the body stayed in its bind pose. The golf constants are now 42, 43 and 44. They play ANM 762, 766 and 770, and the stance and swing show.

The club. Each frame in the golf holes (0x8005a678) the hand part (hierarchy +0x23) gets a model:

• in states 13-15, the club (0x80057404): Tommy 1069, Chuckie 1216, Phil 1215, Lil 1218, Angelica 1217, Susie 1219;
• otherwise the bare hand (0x80057468).

The table is keyed by 0x800c5680, which 0x8005928c sets to the hole's baby. The port left g.character at 1 for every hole. It now follows the baby, which also picks the right holing-out lines.

The aim line (0x8005f68c). It is five pool sprites (0x8008e36c, drawn by 0x8008e508). The quad is D_800b6da8, (+-4096, +-4096, 0), turned by Ry Rx Rz and scaled by diag(200, 250, 4096) / 4096 (0x80024424): half-size 200 x 250, flat on the ground, the texture's top ahead. Flags 0xd2803000 make it a semi-transparent FT4. The five sit 250, 750 .. 2250 from the ball along the heading.

Sprites::quad now draws any world sprite on two axes, with a grey and semi-transparency. The billboards and the box-toss arrow use it too.

Circle's camera height (0x800972c4, table 0x800c4730 = 0, -2200, -6000, 1400). Each press in state 14 counts 1-3 and takes that height. The fourth press returns to the base that state 14's entry saved (0x80097288). State 15 resets the count and the height to 0. The height is added to the golf eye's y. Shots show it higher, overhead, low, then back.
