Talk:Golf (card game)

Is it possible to get dealt a combination that makes it impossible to win? (can we put this in the article?)

My father just taught me a version of Golf (multiplayer version) that the Joker was worth -10. There were other rather signficant differences as well. It looks like that this game's rules change considerably from place to place. If anyone has more info on this variation, please post it here or in the article. 69.8.51.151 (talk)

Linkspam
Including multiple external links to one's own sites (especially when this is the bulk of a user's edits) is generally considered a pretty strong warning signal that a user is spamming. At any rate, linking to playable games is not typical. Most of the time a link to a site which lists playable games (like DMOZ) is done instead, since Wikipedia is not a link directory.

I remember my great aunt playing a variation where each of the six cards had all rounds of the game so instead of dealing just six cards it would be 9 cards per each 6. or 54 per person. I do remember her playing with jokers as a sort of wild and multiple decks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.157.209.66 (talk) 17:24, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Hook's lagoon
I could not find any reference to "Hook's Lagoon" as an alternate name for the Solitaire version of Golf (or any version of the Golf card game, for that matter), so I removed that subtitle. Please add a proper reference if it is to be re-added. Raztus (talk) 04:59, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

Common name?
I'm hoping that someone can give me some direction about the common name of one of the variations. I believe that what is called "Nine Card Golf" is more commonly known as simply "Nines". There's another entry for a game called Nines but that game has different rules. If you do a general search on the Web for Nines card game you'll see this game and the other game but this game is more frequently known as "Nines". The referenced Pagat site mentions that this game is also known simply as Nines and even links to another site regarding Nines.

I would like to suggest that the variant and the game known simply as "Nines" is more common than the name Nine Card Golf. This site is a good example. You can also do a search for Nines card game rules and easily find references to that name. There are others such as this one and this one. I wanted to see if there was some basis calling it Nine card Golf and if there is no objection, I will change the name. Dbroer (talk) 13:25, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
