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.

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.

    • God I hate when golf can’t give me n+1 day of success. Drives me up the wall when my body is, FU! Im like, ok let’s check the vid. Yep too much turn, arms getting behind me. Ok, I work on that. Get the feel back for a shorter swing. Confirm with video. Then going back to arms down stuff.  Arms down, nope it’s hands out towards the ball. Oh, you get arms down better. Guess what, you don’t get to rotate and you hit 6 inches behind the ball. Yay!  Maybe I should have walked off the range and not wasted my time. I wish there was a body alert system when it’s going to a SOB for the day. 😭 OK rant over, I’ll be back at this tomorrow.

    • I mean there has to be some thought. For eg., something like 'soft knees and wrists' at set up and maybe a dynamic 'left arm to chin' as a trigger to start DS. I have these one or two anchor thoughts and have served me well. In fact, my wildest swings are the one where I have no thoughts or if I forget to walk thru my anchor thoughts. In contrast my best rounds are where I am consistent with the anchor thoughts.    OTOH, if I am running my entire half hour lesson (hypothetical) with some pro that I had last Saturday or whatever before every swing then I'm probably in trouble before I even get over the ball.      
    • Two bits. Bit 1 The NCAA's appeal of Brendan Sorsby being granted a temporary injunction will not be heard until February, so there will be nothing to prevent Sorsby from playing the full season and potential CFP.  Bit 2 The Big Ten Conference will hold a meeting and is expected to ban all of its athletic programs from playing Texas Tech in the regular season. Georgia has done the same. The SEC will meet to consider a similar ban. Fellow Big 12 members TCU and Kansas State are spearheading a similar ban, but the conference charter might not allow it. Meanwhile, Big 12 athletic directors are meeting this week to explore what options the conference might have.
    • No, but I'm also in disagreement that golfers have no thoughts over the golf ball, and/or don't ever think I've met someone I truly believe is thinking nothing but "target" or something on most shots.
