Golf, also known as One Foundation,[1] 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).[2] It has a tableau of 35 face-up cards and a higher ratio of skill to luck than most other solitaire card games.[3] Its easy game-play also makes it within easy reach of first-timers, while still offering scope for strategic play.[4]
