Golf
Clear the seven columns by playing cards one rank above or below the waste.
How to play
Seven columns of five cards are dealt face up. One card starts the waste pile.
You may play the bottom card of any column onto the waste if it is one rank higher or lower than the waste top.
Click the stock to turn a new card onto the waste when you are stuck.
With wrap on, Kings and Aces count as neighbours; otherwise there is no wrap-around.
Clear every column to win. The game ends when no play and no stock card remain.

Tips for Golf
- Plan which column to empty first, aiming for plays that uncover cards you can chain together.
- Use the stock sparingly: every card you turn is one fewer chance to extend a run later.
- Turn on the King-Ace wrap option if you want a more forgiving game.
