Your goal as you play Golf Solitaire is remove all the cards from the 7 columns. Each of the columns has 5 cards in it so there are a total of 35 cards to remove from those columns. All the other cards are kept in the deck and can be dealt onto the top of the waste pile one at a time. You can remove a card from the columns and place it onto the waste pile if the card is one greater than or one less than the card that is currently on the top of the waste pile without regard to suit.
