DeChambeau’s Disaster
Every so often, I play a round of APBA Golf that is so spectacular or spectacularly bad that I just have to share it. This post is an embarrassing example of the latter. This past weekend Bryson DeChambeau broke my record for most putts in a single round (40). This happened in the 3rd round […]

Best and Worst Rounds (So Far)
Lately, I’ve been playing a lot of rounds on Birthplace (St. Andrews) under near-ideal conditions and getting scores that are quite a bit lower than usual for me. The beginning of a new year is a time for reflection, so it got me to wondering: What are the best and worst rounds I’ve had so […]
Updates in GC 5.1
The latest release of the Game Caddie, version 5.1, corrects a problem with the Caddie 3 worksheet and gives you greater control over how the Wind Rolls menu works. In the previous version (5.0), the ability of the All in One menu to perform second lie rolls had accidentally been turned off for Caddie 3. […]

Putting Probabilities for ATG Players

Since then, I have calculated probability data for all 144 golfers from the original All-Time Greats set and made an updated version of the tool (v.1.006) available on my Downloads page. The tool is an Excel spreadsheet, which means you can manipulate and […]
