How to Play Golf the Card Game
Just as on the putting green, the objective of the card game Golf is to get the lowest score possible. The problem is that there's no telling what scores your opponents might have. You might also be unaware of your own score. Sometimes, the key is taking a chance early and hoping everyone else has gotten caught with high cards. Sometimes, its a matter of fighting for the last ace or king.
