Golf,
like in the sport, the goal
is to get the lowest score. There are
two ways to lower your score. First, you
can collect low-value cards. Second, you
can eliminate rows of identical black cards.

Players are each dealt
nine cards that are arranged face down in front of them in a 3-by-3 grid. To start the game each player turns over two cards
at random in their grid. Card values
range from the always hard to hit “Hole-in-One” with a -4 score to the infamous
“Lost Ball” with a +11 score. A player’s
turn consists of choosing a card from either the draw deck or from the top of
the discard pile and replacing a card in their 3-by-3 grid. The card being replaced can be either a face
up card or a face down card. In any
event, the card being played in the players’ grid will be placed face up. If a player lines up 3 cards with the same
score either horizontally or vertically, that row of cards is removed from his grid.
Not only does eliminating rows of cards
lower your overall score, bonus points that lower your score even more are
awarded.
