Golf now included in Nintendo Switch Sports

Golf has finally arrived on Nintendo’s Switch Sports. 

Nintendo Switch Sports, which was released in April 2022, came out without Golf as a playable game. At the time, Golf was planned to be added to the title in Fall 2022, but was delayed. Now, Golf is available to download as part of the free Nintendo Switch Sports ‘version 1.3.0′ update.
