Golf

Golf works brilliantly as a browser game because a single shot is a complete unit of play. You line it up, you commit, and you find out immediately whether you were right.

Mini Golf Saga is the course-by-course version, with holes designed around a specific trick you need to spot. Sky Golf takes the physics somewhere less grounded, and Clash of Golf Friends makes it a contest rather than a personal best. Golf Invaders abandons the sport almost entirely, which is more fun than it sounds. You're judging angle and power and nothing else, so you'll be competent within a few holes even if you've never watched the sport.

There are 4 free games under this tag, all playable in the browser with nothing to install, and none of them expect you to know anything about actual golf.

The wider sporting shelf is Sports games, and Minigolf Games is the tag for the crazy-golf end specifically.
