Download Big Fish Games’ Fairway Solitaire and you could win a new iPad!


Big Fish Games has given Sand Trap Community members an opportunity to win a new 3rd generation iPad!  They have a great new iPhone / iPad game called Fairway Solitaire which has received a lot of positive attention from iPad gamers.

I've gotten to play Fairway Solitaire and have to say it's not your average solitaire app; it's a lot more entertaining and is definitely addicting. It's a solitaire card game that folds in a golf theme, virtual money, power-ups and a story about a meddling gopher named McDivot. The result is a fun, challenging and a game you're going to spend a lot of time playing.

As you'll see in the tutorial (dubbed "The Golf Academy"), the game rules are very simple: You're presented with a number of face-down and face-up cards, displayed in a specific pattern, and you must tap on a card that's one higher or one lower than your card at the bottom of the screen.  There a lot of content here – 60 courses (350 holes) in total, mixed in with occasional cartoon cut-scenes that continues the story that include humorous commentary on your performance by two broadcasters. If you see the pesky gopher pop up while playing solitaire, tap him for a bonus.


To Enter:

1). Download the free version of Fairway Solitaire for iPhone, IPad, or the online flash version.

IPhone: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/fairway-solitaire-by-big-fish/id428393447?mt=8

IPad: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/fairway-solitaire-hd-by-big/id428393840?mt=8

Flash Version: http://www.kongregate.com/games/BigFishStudios/fairway-solitaire

2). In 30 words or less, write a review in this sweepstakes thread.

That’s it! A winner will be selected at random at the end of the contest period.

The Rules:

- You must be a registered member of The Sand Trap.
- You must be a legal resident of the fifty (50) United States or the District of Columbia (excluding New York, Florida, Rhode Island, Puerto Rico and Quebec) and aged eighteen (18) or older as of the date of entry.
- Canadian residents must answer this mathematical skill-testing question in this thread to be eligible: 15 + 261 divided by 14 times 3
- If you already have the game, all you need to do is post a review
- All qualifying entries must be received by August 27th at Midnight. Good Luck!

*IMPORTANT: This is a sweepstakes unlike contests that we’ve run in the past on the site. The winner will be selected at random. Your review can be as simple as “It’s Awesome!” or “This is a great game!”

The Prize

- One (1) Grand Prize winner will be awarded one (1) 3rd Generation iPad.

The Fine Print

Don't just take my word for it, here's another review

This IS addicting. Initially I did not think it would be but it is and I saw one hour fly by playing this game the first time. I like the surprise cards, uncovered cards and the wildcards.  It makes a basic soliatire game a lot more fun and the graphics are certainly very entertaining. GREAT job.

      My Swing (billchao)

      Oh I'm dumb, I just noticed I did the MyStrategy from the wrong tee box. I don't think it changes anything, though. I'll play it as a three shot hole and I still don't really want to miss right (guy I played with on Sunday never found his ball he hit just over the trees right). I think the trees left are considered part of the environmentally sensitive area because it's part of the drainage area for the course. I actually like this hole a lot. I'll try to remember to take a picture next time. I probably overestimated the wind speed. We had sustained winds of like 12-15mph with gusts up to 25mph. The wind is actually forecast to be WNW on Saturday instead of WSW like was when I played on Sunday so if I play this hole again the wind will be pushing towards that bunker. Similar speeds, though. Wind is always a factor at this course because there's really nothing blocking it. I'm definitely going to have to pay attention to it, especially with the wind. I hit a handful of short iron approaches a lot farther than I thought I would on Sunday. As of right now the only thing I know for sure is I'm starting on Ridge. I don't know if the back 9 will be played on Meadow or Lake.

      Day 113: 4/18/24 Stack training progress check after finishing my 6th program, and 4th Full Speed Spectrum Training session, which is recommended for my next program.     Gained 1 mph with driver, 195 g, 95g. Maintained with 280 g , and gained 2 with 145 g. Lost 1 mph on both lead and trail arm. Felt like I lost distance in my last round…

      I'd agree that 4w seems like the right play here. I'm not a course designer or anything but that hole looks like it could be so much more fun if everyone played from those front 2 tee boxes that are right outside your shot cone and they cut down most of the trees down that left side of the fairway. That would give risk reward to long hitters who want to try and push it up to that left fairway, allow more players to reach that second fairway, and still allowing it to be perfectly playable for someone who only hits driver like 150yds off the tee.   Yeah it looks like 4iron aimed at that inside edge of the right bunker is the play there, especially if you don't expect a 20mph tailwind again. If it is down wind again, 5iron would be just fine too, it'd still get you inside 150yds for your approach.  Keep in mind tee marker locations too, you measured that one from the back so if those tee markers are moved all the way towards the front of that box then 5 iron is probably best just to be sure that right bunker is never in play.
