Making your first moves in Golf Solitaire
Treat this as a chance to practise one rule. Remove all 35 tableau cards. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Check the relevant controls before continuing. For a calm first round, focus on one decision. Take an exposed bottom card one rank above or below the waste top, allowing ace–king wrapping. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.
Seven columns of five, one stock pass. Free solo play, no wagering.
