This is a great time! I'm not a Golf Fan but I do love arcade golf games and this is a wonderful "casual" entry. Great mechanic with the cards...reminds me of Alpine Alapca in using the cards to set direction and actions. Put to good use here.
The only thing that stuck out to me was the need for par, lol - it seems I'm never in control of whether I'm able to hit that goal, unless it knows to give me cards that will allow that, dunno. Nit picky maybe...either way, certainly a cart I'll be playing a lot to wind down.
Also kinda motivating me to try the lowrez mode...haven't made one of them yet!
What a delightful game! Congrats! What are the rules for keeping cards in your hand? Meaning, do the cards not played stay in your hand or all they always shuffled and you draw four new random cards?
