Just like in real golf, in PocketPlay Golf it's about choosing the right club at the right time to get around the holes with the least number of strokes. Each club has one or two different dices. The player chooses the club and rolls the corresponding dices. Then the player looks in the result table to know how well the stroke went. This repeats itself until the ball lands on the green and the rolls to see how many putts are needed to hit the hole.
