Golf: 8-card grids, chosen openers, final putt, end-of-hole score card
- An 8-card variant, laid out as two rows of four. The existing column scoring covers it without change. - Opening cards are now chosen rather than dealt face up. Nothing starts revealed; each player in turn turns over their allowance, and the hole begins once everyone has picked. This needed a new SETUP phase in the engine, since it is a real decision and has to be validated like any other move rather than being decided at deal time. - "Line up the final putt", off by default: throw a drawn card away without turning your last face-down card over, so you are not forced to close the hole on a card you did not choose. Only offered on the last face-down card. Because a whole table could otherwise decline forever, two full laps of nothing but thrown cards calls the hole and scores it where it stands. - The end of a hole now shows a score card — every player's strokes for the hole and their running total, lowest first — and the next hole is not dealt until it is dismissed. MatchController gained a general awaitsConfirmation hook for this, so any game wanting a scoreboard between rounds can stop the table the same way. Only the host waits; clients render what they are sent. Nine more Golf tests, covering the 8-card layout, the opening choice, when the putt option is and is not offered, and that a table refusing to putt out still finishes.
