: golden tee and golden tee II are emulated by mame, however they are pretty old. The new series that you find in most bars these days, golden tee 97, 98, 99, and 2k , are emulated in the latest it32 driver in b11, however they are disabled as incredible technologies is still selling the games.

: :I believe Golden Tee would be a nineties game although I Dont believe its emulated by mame
Here is a fully (I think) comprehensive list of nineties trackball games supported by MAME:

NB: That list was obtained from the "All Games" section of the game list in Mame32. I think that Mame32 considers any game with an analog control to be a "trackball" game. To verify which of the above actually use a trackball, I would check www.klov.com
As to whether analog controls in general are worth it, try playing a game like Arkanoid in and NES emulator, and then play it in MAME with your mouse. There's a huge difference.
Regarding:
:And is a rotary joystick, a 360 joystick
:and a optical joystick the same? What are
:they for?
The rotary and 360 degree joysticks are similar. They both provide the joystick with another axis of revolution. Think MS Sidewinder Joystick. The joystick goes up, down, and sideways; it can also be twisted. The rotary does this with 12 mechanical switches which are connected depending on where the joystick is rotated. The 360 degree one uses similar technology as is in a mouse.
The optical joystick is different. One would perceive the optical joystick as working just like a regular one, but it's bragging point is that, not relying on mechanical switches and instead mouse-like technology, it is easily converted between 4-way, 8-way, diaganal (like in Q*Bert) etc.
