The document describes a golf game simulation program written in VBA that allows a user to input their name and choose from a menu to either view instructions, play a game of golf, or quit, with the golf game function simulating shots with a driver, iron, or putter over multiple rounds until the ball is sunk in the hole. The program tracks the number of shots taken, calculates the distance each club would hit factoring in randomness, and provides feedback on the user's score in relation to par after a game is completed.
