Golf Solitaire Strategy Guide

[ad_1]

Golf Solitaire (Sometimes also referred to as Forty Thieves) is a fun solitaire game, requiring great anticipation, and a good degree of luck. Whilst it is not possible to win every game, there are certain strategies you can use to greatly increase your chances of winning Golf Solitaire, and this article will go into some of them.

The most important thing to realize with Golf Solitaire is that Kings and Aces are

special. Every other card in the deck can be removed onto cards ranked directly

above or below the card. For example, a 5 can be removed onto a 4 or a 6.

But Aces and Kings are different.

An Ace can only be removed onto a Two, and a King can only be removed onto a

Queen.

This means you have to be particularly careful when you use Queen’s and

Two’s.

Because of this, the very first thing you should do when you start a game of Golf

Solitaire is to count all the Kings and Aces.

If all the Kings are in the tableau, then every time you remove a Queen, you MUST

make sure you also remove a King, or you wont be able to finish the game. And if a

Queen is dealt from the Talon, then you MUST remove a King straight away. If you

can’t, you may as well undo, or start a new game.

Similarly, if all four Aces are in the tableau, then every time you remove a Two, you

MUST make sure you also remove a Ace, and if a Two is dealt from the Talon, then

you must immediately remove an Ace.

If all the Aces and Kings aren’t out, then you need to keep track of how many Two’s

and Queen’s have been dealt from the Talon. In this case you don’t need to use

every Two or Queen on a Ace or King, but if you keep track and work out that there

are not enough Two’s or Queens left to remove all the remaining Aces or Kings, then

it is time to undo…

Just being aware of this one facet of Golf Solitaire will immediately increase your

chances of winning. It takes about 5 seconds to count the Aces and Kings at the

start of the game, but it will help to dramatically improve your winning percentage!

There are other ways to further increase your chances of winning Golf

Solitaire…

If you have a choice between removing two cards of the same rank, one being the

last card in it’s stack, and the other having cards above it, then make sure you

choose the card in the stack with cards above it. Removing the last card in the

stack will not help you to remove any other cards, but removing the card with

cards above it will expose new cards, which will help to form new sequences, and

will give you more options later in the game.

You should also look at which cards will be exposed when given a choice between

removing cards of equal value. There are two things to look for:

1) Is the exposed card an Ace or a King? If so, it might be worthwhile exposing so it

can be removed if a Two or a Queen is dealt.

2) Does the exposed card help with any other potential sequences at the moment? If

so, then it may be worth exposing because it might help make a longer sequence

later. eg: If there are a lot of Fours and Sixes exposed at the moment, then exposing

a Five might be worthwhile.

Finally, it’s often worth planning out sequences, and playing around with

alternatives, to see how long a sequence you can make. You will often find that the

first sequence you can see in Golf Solitaire is not the best one, and a different

sequence might help you to remove a lot more cards. You may find it helps to point

your finger at the screen while planning out your sequence. It seems to help the

thinking process, and helps you to remember the sequence!

If you follow these strategies, will you win every game of Golf Solitaire?

No, you won’t. There is too much luck involved, and most games will not be

finishable.

You will greatly increase your chances of winning Golf Solitaire though, and spend

less time trying to finish games which can’t possibly be won.

If you want to be a good ball striker, you’ve got to have a golf backswing that is repeatable. Here’s a couple of simple tips to improve your consistency, and eliminate several swing faults.

It’s All In The Hands

I have struggled with this for years, and now finally have a better understanding of what the hands should, and shouldn’t do during your takeaway, that will insure a consistent position at the top, enabling you to come down into impact and hit the ball solid and powerfully every time.

When you first take the club away,your hands stay very close to your body (legs). If they get away from your body (like mine use to do), you will then pick the club up, instead of rotate it back and to the top.

A good tip is to make sure your right hand brushes your right leg early in the takeaway. This will let you know you are keeping them in close and to the inside early on. You can definitely overdo this, but for most amateur golfers, I don’t think this will happen, as the common move is away from the body.

Secondly, the hands do NOT roll over in the takeaway. In fact, keep them in the same position, and just rotate your shoulders to start your swing. If you manipulate your hands, you will need a compensation to get them back to impact. This is no good!

Thirdly,your grip pressure should be very light. On a 1-10 most likely a 3 at the most. This is another issue I had, and it caused all kinds of tension through my arms, which slowed down my swing speed, and ruined my sequence of motion.

Your Arms (And Shoulders)

When you take the club away, your left upper arm stays in contact with your chest, as your left shoulder purely rotates away from the target. There is no lateral movement in the shoulders. They just rotate!

The right arm (elbow) cannot bend too early in the takeaway! This is another issue I had. It took me forever to realize I was prematurely bending my right arm, which was causing me to lift the club off the ground too early. The back swing is NOT a lift, it’s a turning of the arms, and a “late” bending of the right elbow. That’s it!

If you can focus on your shoulders rotating to start your swing; your hands staying passive: and your right elbow bending late in back swing, you’ll be golden.
