Abstract
Provided is a golf game that is readily intuitively playable by a user. An input reception section receives an operation input indicating a motion of an input device gripped by the hands of the user. A control section controls a motion of a player character in a game space in accordance with the operation input. An image generation section generates a game image. When a golf club held by the player character comes into contact with the ground in the game space, the control section drives a stimulus generation section disposed in the input device to stimulate the user's hands gripping the input device.
