How to play Golf
Seven columns start with five face-up cards each. Only the bottom exposed card in each column can move. Play a card one rank above or below the waste, regardless of suit. Aces connect only to twos; there is no King–Ace wrap. You may play a King on a Queen, but nothing can be played on a King. Draw from the stock to start a new run at any time. There is no redeal and cards cannot move between columns. Clearing all 35 tableau cards wins the hole. Otherwise, the hole ends when the stock is empty and no move remains. Each card left counts as one stroke: lower is better, and par is 4. This table plays one hole per deal.
Undo restores the complete previous position and score without a penalty. Replay deal starts the same shuffle again. Random deals are not guaranteed winnable; hints suggest legal moves without solving the game.
