How to Play Golf Solitaire

Video Transcript

"Okay let's make sure that we know how to play a hand of golf, start to finish. We'll start with the hand in this segment, and then finish it up in the next. I have already dealt the thirty-five cards that are up on the board. You see it's seven rows, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven of five cards. One, two, three, four, five. And now I've got my down cards, which I'm going to roll and play on those, they're seventeen of these. If I look ahead, I see that they're some clumps of cards, like over here in the bottom right hand corner, you've got some low cards clumped together. That would be good except that they're a bunch of twos. There's a bunch of any one value of cards, you're probably going to get stalled at that point, it's going to effect your score. But let's start playing, first card that comes off is a king. And I have no play, sadly. Queen, no play. You see how this game can go. There's an eight, I actually have to choose between this nine, and one of these two sevens. Alas, I cannot make a play after that, this is a really good random shuffle I'd have to say. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to look at the board and say, how many nines are out there. Okay, just from a quick perusal, looks like this is the only nine. How many sevens, there are these two, here's another, there's another nine, I have three sevens and two nines. So I have to decide what to do. Well, I'm going to say that I'll be able to play the lower cards later, so I'll play this nine. And the next segment we'll continue with the hand and see how it plays out."
