How it works
Pick a move
Every hole gives you a short list of moves, like 6, 5, 4, 3, 1. Use each one once, in any order, and cross it off.
Pick a direction
Up, down, left, right or diagonally. Your ball always travels in a straight line and flies over everything except trees.
Count the squares
Move exactly that many squares and mark where you land. Land on the flag to finish. Par is the best score possible.
