Driver vs. 2-Iron Off the Tee
I thought it might be interesting to look at the strategy of club selection when teeing off by using some extreme examples. For that reason, I decided to look at the differences between teeing off with a driver and a 2-Iron using two golfers with vastly different driving abilities. The first golfer is Bryson DeChambeau […]
GC Tip: Course-specific Wind Charts
Wind effects are very easily managed in the GC. After loading the hole, you just have to click on the blue box that corresponds to the Wind type and dice roll. After that, the All in One Menu will automatically handle all 2nd dice rolls for wind and apply their effects. Well, that’s normally the […]
Club Board Proofers Needed
I am trying to get a GC 4.1.2 update out as soon as possible and could use some help. I am looking for APBA Golfers to help me check the Club board results that are in the Game Caddie against the actual APBA Club board results. I have spent the last several days scrubbing the […]

GC Learning Video #3 with IDJESTER
Over the weekend, IDJESTER, made his third “practice” video, in which he plays holes 6 through 9 at Magnolia by himself. Once again, he’s asked for my feedback, so that he and his viewers can learn the game, the utility, and improve their play. He also makes a number of suggestions for me to consider […]
Caddie 1 Temporarily Out of Commission
Over the weekend, a problem with Caddie 1 has been found in GC 4.1.1. It involves working-the-ball (WTB) when using the All in One Menu. Caddie 1 has a coding error that causes the “C” column to be used when WTB, regardless of the player’s actual WTB rating. It doesn’t appear to happen with the […]
