PICK AND CHOOSE LITTLE BUDDIES

Golf
Golf is a little tricky, but particularly seasonal! Get a deck of cards, some beers and get going!
Rules
-- You want the LOWEST hand possible. Face cards are 10, Aces are 1.
1. Everyone playing gets four cards. They are NOT allowed to look at these four cards.
2. The dealer puts the rest of the cards in the middle of the table and flips over the top card.
3. Everyone may look at ONE of their four cards, but they can only look at one and they can only look at it once.
4. The dealer starts. S/He takes one card off the top of the deck, looks at it and decides whether or not s/he wants to trade it for one of his/her cards in his hand. Keep in mind s/he has no idea what cards s/he has, apart from the one s/he saw earlier.
5. If s/he gives up a card in his/her hand, s/he then places that discarded card faceup in the discard pile and puts the card s/he took face down in her hand. Otherwise, if s/he does not want to keep the card, s/he places it face up in the discard pile.
6. Next person in the circle goes. They have the option of drawing off the discard pile or off the deck. They decide if they want to keep it, and so on and so forth.
7. Whenever someone thinks they have the lowest hand, they yell GOLF! Everyone goes around once more, then flips the cards over.
8. Add your cards up. Lowest hand wins. Now here comes the fun part. Everyone has to drink for how long their cards add up to. For instance: If the highest hand was a 20, the winner starts counting up to twenty (as slow or as fast as s/he chooses). Everyone drinks. When it gets to your number, you stop. Highest hand can't stop til the winner reaches twenty.
VARIATIONS
-- You may look at one of your cards once the game has started, but you must drink for every time you look at your cards. (this rule is recommended after you have played a couple rounds and can't remember as easily)
-- If the person who calls "golf" has the highest hand, they must double their score/drinking time.
Slightly difficult to read, very easy to play (we can attest)! Any other variations?
