Golf Solitaire Strategy: When to Draw and Which Card to Play

About this video

Compare two moves on the same board, see what drawing too soon costs, and look at what each card uncovers. Work through kings, aces and the last stock card using Cards4 Classic Golf rules: kings end a chain, aces connect only to twos, and there is no King-Ace wrap.

Before drawing from the stock, look at the card each move uncovers and follow the next few moves on the table.

Compare the five and seven on the same board, then see how drawing before the chain ends changes the available moves. The later examples cover kings, aces and playing after the final stock draw.
