Golf solitaire displays 9 colums. 
The first column is labeled 
"SHUFFLE".  The next seven columns
make up the tableau.  The last 
column is labeled "STOCK".  The  
middle of the last row is the waste
pile.

Golf consists of a tableau of seven
columns and five rows.  A stock
pile is in the 8th column.  The waste
pile is in the middle of the last row
on the screen.  The object of the
game is to eliminate all of the cards
in the tableau.  The bottom cards of
each column are available for play on
the waste pile.  Building of cards on
the waste pile is done in sequence,
up or down, regardless of suit.  The
sequence of rank is not circular.  In
other words, only a two may be built
on the ace and nothing can be built
on the king.  If no play can be made
on the current waste pile card, then
turn up a card from the stock pile.

The manner of scoring is probably
the reason that the game is called
Golf.  Each round consists of nine
holes.  Each hole can consist of 
any number of moves attempting to
eliminate all the cards in the 
tableau.  Your score is equal to
the number of cards left in the
tableau at the time of a shuffle.
If the tableau is empty, then the
score is equal to the negative of
the number of cards left in the
stock pile.  The scores are updated
when a shuffle is requested, just
as the game of golf is scored at
the end of a hole.

The "Esc" key will exit the program.
As the screen is tranversed you will
notice that the cursor does not stop
in the "SHUFFLE" column.  This is
intentional, so that accidental
shuffles are not done.  To shuffle
the deck, press "S".  Pressing
"Return" will perform an action
depending on the cursor's column
position.  Use the left and right
arrow keys without "Control" to move
the cursor.  Notice that wrap around
is allowed.

Enjoy!
