Card Golf Tour is a playing card game where players aim to get the lowest point total possible by strategically drawing, matching, keeping, and discarding cards. In Card Golf Tour, each hand is like a golf hole and can be either a par 3, par 4, or par 5, just like in actual golf. The par of the hole determines how many cards are dealt to each player. Each hand will also have a "stroke index", which will make the hand more or less difficult by removing cards from the playing deck. Each card in the deck, which is made up of 54 cards, carries a point value that will range from -5,-2,0-11. Each player is dealt either 4,6, or 8 of these cards face down and try to end up with the lowest point total at the end of the hand. The hand is over when one player has all of their cards face up on the table. When this has happened, each player adds up the total of the points in their hand and records their score for the hand.
