Golf with the athletics removed. There is no power bar and no timing window; instead you hold a hand of cards, each of which moves the ball a fixed distance in a chosen direction, and the hole has to be reached with what you were dealt. That single change turns it into a planning game. The question stops being how hard to hit and becomes which order to play the cards in, because a card spent early is not available for the awkward final approach. It is calm, quiet and genuinely thoughtful, and it fits into the few minutes between other things without demanding any reflexes at all.

How to play Golf Puzzle
- Plan the last shot before the first. The approach is what constrains everything else.
- Count what your hand can total. If the distance is impossible with the cards you hold, the route must change rather than the aim.
- Use obstacles deliberately. Bouncing off scenery is often the only way to reach an awkward hole.
- Keep at least one small card back. Fine adjustments near the hole are what fail without them.
- Restart early. Levels are short and a hand played into a corner is not usually recoverable.
Tips
- The obvious straight line is rarely the intended solution, especially on levels that give you awkward card values.
- Two medium cards frequently beat one large one, because they let you change direction between them.
- If a level looks impossible, look for a bounce rather than a longer shot.
