SUMMARY

This article explains how to start playing a custom course that was created by using the Arnold Palmer Course Designer that is included with Microsoft Links 2001. By default, if you create a custom course with the Arnold Palmer Course Designer and then save it, the program saves the course in a custom course folder. This folder is separate from the folder where Links courses are stored. To play a custom course, you must first add the course to Links.

NOTE: To add the custom course to the Links folder when you create the course, click Save As on the File menu, and then specify the following folder in the Save in box

drive:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Links 2001\Courses

where drive is the drive on which Links 2001 is installed.
