This variation is commonly called Putt Putt.

Turning the corner is permitted so that a King can be played on top of an Ace, and vice versa.

To make the game easier, common variations on these rules include: if all queens are covered by kings), then the cards may be reshuffled and redealt. If a tableau is dealt that would make it impossible for the player to clear all of the cards (e.g. Game is nine 'holes' (deals) and a score of 45 or lower is considered par, with a score of zero or lower being perfect. If the tableau is cleared, player scores a negative point for every card left in the stock. Player scores one point for each card remaining in the tableau after the stock has run out. The game is over when the stock is exhausted and no more moves are available.

Whenever there are no possible plays, turn cards up one at a time from the stock to the foundation and resume playing cards from the tableau when possible.

There is no 'wrapping' (Ace on a King, or King on an Ace) in the strict form of Golf.

Cards rank A 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 J Q K.

Cards may be moved from the tableau to the foundation if they are either one rank higher or one rank lower than the top card of the foundation, regardless of suit, but nothing may be played on top of a King.

When it is removed, the card beneath becomes available for play.

Only the topmost card in each column (closest to the player) may be removed from the tableau.

The remaining 16 cards are turned face down to form the stock. One additional card is dealt as the base of the foundation. Rules Setup įrom a standard 52-card deck, 7 columns of 5 cards each are dealt, all face up and with indices visible. Its easy game-play also makes it within easy reach of first-timers, while still offering scope for strategic play. It has a tableau of 35 face-up cards and a higher ratio of skill to luck than most other solitaire card games. But the members got tired of ducking in the showers when Mickey came through looking for a game, and they told him to empty his locker.Golf, also known as One Foundation, is a patience or solitaire card game where players try to earn the lowest number of points (as in golf, the sport) over the course of nine deals (or ' holes', also borrowing from golf terminology). Mickey’s funnier when he’s not trying to be. By the back side, Mickey was holding the clubs aloft to anyone who would listen and demanding, “I ask you! Just look at these things! Look at the hosel! How can a man play with implements like these!” If you’re a Mickey Rooney fan, you’re rolling behind the trees, helpless with mirth. By Hole 9, the Mick was looking darkly at his new set of clubs and beginning to question Nicklaus’ credentials to be teaching golf. By Hole 5, the swing began to disintegrate. He dispensed tips with a lavish hand for the rest of the foursome. As Mickey moved flawlessly through the first three holes, he purred with praise for the new set of stiff shafts he had purchased.

He showed up on the first tee one day proudly announcing that Jack Nicklaus, no less, had straightened out his swing. He will do Judy Garland and Professor Labermacher (an old George Jessel routine).

Mickey will sing the score, act the parts. Playing with Mickey is like playing in the middle of a rehearsal for a Broadway musical.

I know a lot of people who would like to cut 10 percent of it and retire to the French Riviera after one season. All the same, the trading is livelier among those golf cars than it is on the Paris Bourse. Dean now is recognized around Riviera as a guy you give strokes to at your peril. Barry Jaeckel, French Open winner and son of a movie star, used to caddie for Dino, who has a reputation for having lost a fortune at the game. Martin usually has three or four foursomes (or fivesomes) of pals, usually including one name pro (Devlin, Floyd, Bayer or Bolt), and the bets flow two or three holes back. It looks like Hitler’s armor coming down the back side. It is Dean Martin’s happy hunting ground as this is written, and Dino is usually marauding on its tees and eucalyptus trees in division strength.

You could get a bet on the color of the next dog coming up the fairway. The stories are legendary (also libelous) of the dentists, Philippine generals, European counts, care-free movie stars and moguls who got fleeced on its not-so-broad fairways.
