An animated mannequin golfer actually swings at 2 different speeds to hit the ball. The player is challenged to take 3 or fewer strokes per hole to make par. The holes get harder as you continue to play and a counter keeps you honest on the number of strokes. Animated back glass lights the hole being played.
Description: Little Pro, Southland Engineering, 3/64, one player, designed by Harry Williams, low production, very similar to Williams’ Mini Golf (9/64) as Williams bought the rights to Little Pro, but Little Pro has a much less attractive art. Game uses five 5/8″ (.625″) balls, and has a 36″ x 23 1/8″ x 3/16″ tempered top glass (could be 36″ x 23″, but in my personal game that would be just a bit too small).
There are nine holes, and each hole is “par 3”. The machine gives the player 27 strokes in which to complete all nine holes. The game ends when the player completes nine holes, or 27 strokes are taken, whichever is first. The backglass lights for each of the nine holes the player is currently shooting for. There is a single motorized stepper unit that displays the number of strokes taken. A free game can be won if the player does all nine holes in 18 strokes or less (operator adjustable from 9 to 18 strokes). Since there is no credit wheel on the game, the free game is played by pushing the front cabinet’s “qualify” button (free games can not be accumulated). – http://www.pinrepair.com/baseball/lilpro.htm
