Important
Points to Remember
· At the start of each
hole you should always have
14-cards in your hand, which
represent the 14 golf clubs
in your golf bag. ·
You must equal or exceed the
yardage on each hole; you
can’t be under the yardage.
Object:
Get the lowest combined
score over the span of 18-holes.
The player with the lowest
18-hole total is the winner.
Set-up:
Select a golf
course scorecard from
any golf course in the world.
Use one-deck
of Club Cards for 2 players.
Use two-decks
of Club Cards for 4 players.
Shuffle the deck and then
deal each player 14 Club
Cards. The remaining cards
are then shuffled and placed
face down in the New Club
Card Pile.
Order of Play:
The order of play on the
first hole can be determined
however you’d like.
The order of play on each
subsequent hole mirrors
real golf in that the player
with the lowest score on
the previous hole plays
first on the next hole.
The player with the lowest
score on each hole also
gets to draw new Club Cards
first.
Playing the Game:
Play begins on hole #1.
Each player must evaluate
the total yardage of the
current hole as it is listed
on the scorecard to determine
which Club Card(s) to use.
The object of each hole
is to combine the Club Cards
in your hand so that the
yardages of those Club Cards
when added together equal,
or go over by as few as
possible, the yardage of
the hole as it is listed
on the scorecard. The fewer
Club Cards a player uses,
the fewer number of strokes
that player gets on each
hole. Each Club Card used
counts as one stroke. The
player whose turn it is
must form his/her combination
of Club Cards and then place
the Cards face up directly
in front of them. After
all players complete the
hole and the scorekeeper
has noted the scores on
the scorecard, all of the
cards used on that hole
are placed face up in a
communal discard pile. The
player with the lowest score
draws first from the New
Club Card Pile, and takes
as many new cards as needed
to rejuvenate his/her hand
to 14 cards. After all players
have drawn new cards, the
players move on to the next
hole. When all of the cards
from the New Club Card Pile
are gone, reshuffle the
communal discard pile in
order to make a New Club
Card Pile.
Penalty Strokes:
Penalty Strokes are assessed
when the sum of a player’s
total Club Card yardage
is greater than the hole's
yardage. Refer to the Penalty
Stroke Chart to determine
how many Penalty Strokes
to assess.

Scoring:
Each player receives a score
on each of the 18-holes.
Each Club Card counts as
one (1) stroke. A players’
score on each hole is determined
by adding the number of
Club Cards used on the hole
with the number of Penalty
Strokes that player had.
A scorekeeper should be
chosen before starting play.
The individual hole scores
for each player are kept
on the scorecard in the
same way golfers keep score
during a normal round of
golf. After all players
have completed a hole, the
scorekeeper marks down the
individual scores on the
scorecard. The scorekeeper
should tally the scores
after 9-holes to give players
an idea of where they stand
and then again after 18-holes
to determine a winner.
