Field notes
The rules give each hole a short list of move lengths, used once each in any order, and movement follows straight lines across a square grid. Terrain alters later shots: sand reduces the next move by two, while water adds a stroke and sends the ball back. The page describes two 18-hole courses, including a Links Edition with named hazards and course features. The creator is credited as Eric McFarlane.
