GOLF RULES
The solitaire game of Golf is played with a standard deck of
fifty-two cards. The layout is made by dealing out five rows of
seven cards each, overlapping face up. A total of thirty-five
cards form the layout. One more card is dealt below the layout,
face up to form your base.
The bottom cards of the layout columns are available for play on
your base card. The object is to clear away all the layout
cards by building onto the base card.
Building is done in sequence, in either direction, regardless of
suit. The sequence is not circular. Only a two may be build on
an Ace (always treated as low), and only a Queen may be build on
a King.
When the player has run out of moves, a card is dealt from the
deck and placed face up on the base stack. Play continues until
all the cards have been removed from the layout and placed on
the base stack, or until the remaining cards in the deck have
been depleted and the player has run out of moves.
GOLF VARIANTS
Some players do not allow a Queen to be played on a King. When
the game is played in this fashion, once a King is placed on the
base stack, another card must be dealt from the deck.
Golf may be played one hole (game) at a time or any amount of
holes up to nine.
SCORING
The player starts off with a score of thirty-five points. One
point is deducted each time a card is placed from the layout
onto the base. The best score is zero (a hole in one). This is
known as the Standard scoring method.
SCORING VARIANTS
In the Advanced scoring method, once the layout has been
depleted, one point is deducted for each card remaining in the
unused portion of the deck. Therefore, the best score could be
less than zero. In addition to this, one point is added to your
score each time two cards have been dealt off the deck.
STARTING GOLF
From your DOS prompt, type GOLF and press ENTER. Your
monitor will display the opening screen. After a few seconds,
or until you hit a key, the main playing screen will appear.

MAIN PLAYING SCREEN
This screen is where the game of Golf is played. The screen has
an area set aside for the layout and base card. The upper right

and past games and high scores.

Your screen will show a double up arrow pointing to a card in
the layout. This pointer may be moved left or right using the

After you have moved the pointer to the card you wish to move
to the base stack, press the UP Arrow and if the move is valid,
the card will be place onto the base stack.

DOWN Arrow and another card will be dealt off the deck and
placed on the base stack.

you have run out of moves. You may quit playing at any time.
After you have pressed F10, your Main Options will replace the

If you want to save your high scores to disk, be sure this
option is On. When saving high scores to disk, there will be up

4 - Scoring Method
The default scoring method is set at Standard. The best score
you could achieve per hole would be a score of zero. When
changing this to Advanced, you will lose a point for every
second card dealt off the deck and place onto the waste or base
stack. In addition to this, if you have removed all the cards
from the layout, you will be given an extra point for each card
remaining in the unused portion of the deck. In the Advanced
scoring method, you could have a final score of less than zero.
5 - Show Card Movement
The cards are displaying while they are being dealt to their
respective positions. If you would rather not see this, you may
set this option to Off.
6 - Sliding Screens
While going from one screen to another, the screens will
slide open. If this causes snow or you would rather not see it
happen, you may turn it off with this option.
7 - Snow Removal
Use this option if you are experiencing snow.
8 - Allow Queen's on King's
Queen's are not allowed to be played on King's as a default
setting. If you wish to allow this as a variant on Golf, be
sure this option is set to On.
- 5 -
9 - Card Movement Speed
If option 5 above is On, your cards will be dealt and moved
around the table at the default speed setting of 20. This means
nothing until you actually see the cards in motion. If you
press this option 9, you will be able to change the speed
setting for the card movement speed. The bottom of your screen
will display the following options:
LEFT/RIGHT Arrows ENTER F10
Use your LEFT/RIGHT Arrow keys to decrease or increase the speed
setting. Press the ENTER key if you want to see the effect the
speed setting has on the card movement. When you are satisfied
with the setting, press the Function 10 key to quit.

you quit playing Golf. Be sure Golf.Exe resides in the
drive or directory from where you first started the
game.

This screen is viewed by pressing the Function 8 key from the
Main Options. If you have option 3 in the Setup Menu set to On,
you will be able to view the top fifteen players. The screen
will display the players name, par (score), hole or game number
and date the score was recorded.

"-A". These symbols stand for Standard scoring and Advanced

scores for the type of game your are currently playing (See

score screens by pressing a number key from 1 to 9. Each
