Nine-Card Golf a Hole-in-One at The Residence of St. John Posted on August 27, 2025 Twice a week at The Residence of St. John, residents settle in for a friendly round or three of 9 Card Golf, a card game that’s become a tradition and weekly highlight. The rules of 9 Card Golf are simple, but the strategy keeps everyone on their toes. Each player lays out nine cards in a 3×3 grid, aiming to swap and flip their way to the lowest score possible—just like in real golf. Twos are prized for their low value, while kings and queens add more strokes than anyone would like. Quick wit and a little bit of luck keep the game lively as players draw from the deck or discard pile, always hoping to the pull the perfect card out of their bag. Around the table, you’ll find residents cheering each other on while also engaging in some lighthearted smack talk as the game progresses. This version of golf may not involve clubs or carts, but it certainly scores high on laughs, friendships, and competitive fun. At The Residence of St. John, 9 Card Golf isn’t just a pastime, it’s a hole-in.
