I thought it might be fun to look back and see what was the worst round I’ve played since I began keeping APBA Golf statistics. Amazingly, it was with someone who currently has among the best short games in all of golf! It happened during the fourth round of my 2019 U.S. Open replay at […]

Harbour Town vs. Yatch Club
I had a chance to watch a little bit of the RBC Heritage tournament on tv Friday. The blustery wind there reminded me of the APBA All-time Greats (ATG) tournament I have in progress.
