PT Games is very pleased to announce the acquisition of Par for the Course Golf game from Tommy Minton.

Although, the game has been out of circulation for a few years it was not forgotten by Tim Plum, President of PT Games. “I bought the game right at the end of its 5-year run and was immediately impressed.

I took the game to Northern Ireland as a fun distraction from my PhD work and when I came home I continued to play” Tommy made the player and course cards for the 2010 through 2014 seasons.  

The game did not leave Tim’s memory and in 2026, he reached out to Tommy and inquired about the game. A deal was struck and now PT Games will begin to make new seasons.

The original seasons will be available through the PT Games webstore in PDF for $10, this includes the original rules, player and course cards and season specific charts. 

PT Games has completed a partial 2026 season player and course card set that will also be $10 in PDF through the PT Games webstore. When the 2026 season is complete the final cardset will be released on the PT Games website for $14 and through Drive-Thru cards in print.

The original game remains intact, we have enhanced the game with never before available statistics and updated for information no longer available.  PT Games will make the rules available for free in the webstore and on the PT Games Freebies page.  We can’t describe gameplay any better than Tommy did in the original rules.   

Par for the Course Golf is a tabletop sports simulation game using cards and dice. I designed this game with the tournament replayer in mind. There are two modes of play: a round-by-round engine that simulates a round score for each golfer based usually on one roll of the dice and a hole-by-hole engine that generates a score for each hole the golfer plays (again usually on just one roll of the dice).

Golf courses also have an effect on both modes of play, so easy courses will play easy whereas difficult courses will have higher scores, plus individual holes have their own effects.

Example 1 – Scottie Scheffler is playing a round at the Waialae Country Club Course and has a total Round Score Roll Adjustment of -1.

The dice roll results in a 47 which we then add a -1 in order to get a modified dice roll of 46.

Referencing Scottie’s Golfer Card results in a round score of 67 (as opposed to a score of 68 that he would have shot had the Course Card not been in play).

Example 2 – Scottie is playing a round at the Waialae Country Club when the winds have freshened and the course is playing fast, so we choose to use the -11 course adjustment (that was the result of the final round of the 2026 Sony Open).

The dice roll results in a 71 that is adjusted (due to the -11 adjustment to a 60) and thus Scottie has shot an adjusted round of 68 from 70.
