Golf card game

A card game assembly for a plurality of players and related to golf and a scoring convention for each of a plurality of holes in a round of golf, comprising:

• a plurality of cards, each of the plurality of cards having indicia corresponding to at least one of a plurality of point values associated with the card, a selected group of the plurality of cards being combinable to form a hand for each player, the point values of the cards in the hand being combinable to define a numerical hand score;
• a scoring guide having a scoring conversion system for converting the numerical hand score of a hand to a numerical golf score corresponding to the scoring convention for each of the plurality of holes in a simulated round of golf;
• a scorecard configured to allow each of the players to record the numerical golf scores;
• and
• instructions for playing the golf card game and the simulated round of golf, the instructions defining how to:
• arrange a selected number of cards distributed to each of the players face down and in card positions to form the hand having at least first and second rows of cards arranged to form a plurality of scoring columns;
• form a draw pile having cards not distributed to the players, the cards in the draw pile being face down;
• form a discard pile from at least one of the cards, the discard pile having cards oriented face up;
• play a hand comprising a plurality of turns, wherein each player, in sequence beginning with a first player, during the player's turn the player elects to:
• draw a card from the discard pile and replace a face down card from the selected player's hand, wherein the face down card being replace is turned face up and placed in the discard pile;
• or
• draw a card from the draw pile and either i) replace a face down card from the selected player's hand with the drawn card wherein the drawn card is placed face up in the selected player's hand and the face down card being replaced is turned face up and placed in the discard pile to complete the selected player's turn, or ii) place the drawn card face up in the discard pile to complete the selected player's turn, and
• wherein the players continue to take turns in sequence until a first player has a hand wherein all of the cards in the first player's hand are face up;
• determine the score in each player's hand using the scoring guide and either i) adding the first point values of the cards in each column or ii) determining the second point value for the combination of cards in each column, and then adding together the points from each column to determining the numerical hand score of that player's hand;
• convert the numerical hand score of each player's hand to a numerical golf score for each player in accordance with the scoring conversion system;
• record the numerical golf score for each player on the score card in an area corresponding to the hole being played for the selected hand;
• play hands for each hole in the simulated round of golf in accordance with the instructions until completion of the simulated round of golf;
• and
• add the numerical golf score for all of the holes in the simulated round of golf for each player to determine a final round score for each player.

A card game assembly for a plurality of players and related to golf and a scoring convention for each of a plurality of holes in a round of golf, comprising:

• a plurality of cards corresponding to at least one of a plurality of numerical values associated with the card, a selected group of the plurality of cards being combinable to form a hand for each player, the numerical values of the cards in the hand being combinable to define a numerical hand score;
• a scoring guide having a scoring conversion system for converting the numerical hand score of a hand to a numerical golf score corresponding to the scoring convention for each of the plurality of holes in a round of golf;
• and
• instructions for playing the golf card game and the simulated round of golf, the instructions defining how to arrange the cards for the hand of each player, to draw and discard cards until completion of the hand, determine the numerical hand score in each player's hand using the scoring guide after completion of the hand and convert the numerical hand score of each player's hand to a numerical golf score for each player in accordance with the scoring conversion system.

A method of playing a golf card game related to golf and the scoring system for a round of golf, comprising:

• distributing a selected number of cards to each of a plurality of players, at least a plurality of cards having indicia corresponding to at least one of a plurality of point values associated with the card, a selected group of the plurality of cards being combinable to form a hand for each player, the point values of the cards in the hand being combinable to define a hand score;
• arranging the cards in the hand of each player face down and in card positions so the hand has at least first and second rows of cards arranged to form a plurality of scoring columns;
• forming a draw pile having cards not distributed to the players, the cards in the draw pile being face down;
• forming a discard pile from at least one of the cards, the discard pile being oriented face up;
• playing a hand comprising a plurality of turns for each player, during each turn of a player, the player turn elects to:
• draw a card from the discard pile and replace a face down card from the selected player's hand, wherein the face down card being replace is turned face up and placed in the discard pile;
• or
• draw a card from the draw pile and either i) replace a face down card from the selected player's hand with the drawn card wherein the drawn card is placed face up in the selected player's hand and the face down card being replaced is turned face up and placed in the discard pile to complete the selected player's turn, or ii) place the drawn card face up in the discard pile to complete the selected player's turn;
• and
• wherein the players take turns in sequence until a first player has a hand wherein all of the cards in the hand are face up;
• determining the score in each player's hand using a scoring guide, wherein the scoring guide has a scoring conversion system for converting the numerical hand score of a hand to a numerical golf score corresponding to the scoring convention for each of the plurality of holes in a simulated round of golf, wherein determining the score includes either i) adding the first point values of the cards in each column or ii) determining the second point value for the combination of cards in each column, and then adding together the points from each column to determining the numerical hand score of that player's hand;
• converting the numerical hand score of each player's hand to a numerical golf score for each player in accordance with the scoring guide;
• and
• playing hands for each hole in the simulated round of golf.
