Suprize Suprize! The Mystery Game Legend of Golfer is...A GOLF GAME 
IGN had this to say:
Nintendo revealed today first official details on Legend of Golfer. First unveiled last week via the Japanese gaming press as somewhat of a mystery title, it turns out that the game is actually a golf game, as the title seems to obviously suggest.
Unlike Mario Golf, Legend of Golfer takes more of a simulation approach to the game of golf. Screenshots reveal real courses with realistic graphics, including lighting and weather effects as well as distant views of the course.
The big focus of the game seems to be its player creation mode where you can customize your player's name, gender, face, hair style, clothes, shoes and gloves. Your character has stats for such areas as power, stamina, club control, spin, recover and concentration. In this mode, you can take part in tournaments, purchase items from a shop, play through practice rounds, and even access a mysterious "rest" option. Screenshots suggest the inclusion of skill tests where your character is tested over multiple levels in such areas as control and power.
Outside of the player raising mode, Nintendo and developer Seta Corporation are preparing a few other modes of play, as well as some frills. Expect standard stroke and match play along with four player play and mini games. You can expect in-game briefs and cut-scenes via a sports network style presentation (courtesy of the GNN, which presumably stands for "Golf News Network"). One of the screens shows an in-game entity challenging the player to a round, suggesting a role-playing mode of play.
Seta previously developed Japan Pro Golf Tour 64 for Nintendo's ill-fated 64DD system. The company is perhaps best known to long-time Nintendo fans as the studio behind the long-running-vaporware racer Rev Limit, which never quite saw the light of day for N64 despite much anticipation.
Legend of Golfer is expected to be playable in some form at the upcoming Electronics Entertainment Expo 2004. While waiting for more info, check out some fifty high-res screenshots of the game in the media section for this story.
So Yes, ITS A GOLF GAME- A Realistic one! Will it Knock Tiger Woods off the course, or will it sink into the bunker? Only Time Will Tell- MasTa
