Golf...

not the sport, but the Solitaire game. ever play it? my brother, Scott, taught me how to play it when i was about ten or eleven. the object of the game is to get the lowest score. here are the rules from Yahoo! Games:

Object: Clear all of the cards by moving them from the columns to the pile in order, with Kings as high cards and Aces as low cards.

How to play:
Cards are dealt into 7 columns of 5 cards each, with one "base" card at the bottom of the play area. You can remove any card from the columns that is either 1 higher or 1 lower than the base card. Kings are your enemy; No cards can be placed on a king (but a king may be placed on a queen). Aces are low cards, and Kings are high, so you may not play a King on an Ace. Remove the cards from their columns. If there are no cards that can be played on the base card, you can take another card from the pile. The game ends when the pile is empty and there are no more moves.

if you have cleared all the 35 cards and have some left in the draw pile, the cumulative score of the cards is how much under par you are. of course, if some of the 35 cards are left after depleting the draw pile, you are over par. simple game and a lot less tedious than Klondike...
