There are two fixes in Game Caddie version 5.3.2: Autoscoring will now work correctly when a tree lie roll on a second shot changes the lie to FW. Note that the player is still in the trees but has a clear shot and can use the FW column. (Club restrictions still apply.) Previously, Autoscoring would […]

There were a couple of issues that users spotted that necessitated the latest Game Caddie update (version 5.2.1). The first was a typo that reversed the FW and G rolls for Soft course conditions. The other involves how the If Any (wind) checkbox works. A more detailed explanation follows. Rather than get into what didn’t […]

I recently acquired the Angus Links (Carnoustie) golf course from APBA. While many other courses I’ve played have had hole-specific wind effects (e.g., “Double wind effects on all tee shots.”), this was the first time I encountered a course with amplified wind effects on every hole. Specifically, the course notes for Angus Links tell you […]

For the aesthetes out there, you can now change the color of course tabs and their backgrounds. Don’t like the azalea pink Magnolia tab? Now you can make it Masters green (well, sort of).  The way to do this is to click on the course tab you want to change. Then click on the Rename […]

In my last post, I introduced some new tools in Game Caddie 5.2. These include Auto Roll and On Each Shot checkboxes for the Modified Wind mode. In this post, I’ll provide examples of how you can use them. Modified Wind mode is typically used when you are playing a course that has special rules […]

In addition, you can now change the color of a course tab and its background using the existing Rename Course button. This version also fixes a couple of coding […]

With the release of Game Caddie 5.0, several new features have been added and some things have changed. Here is a quiz to test your knowledge of the latest version.

Based on user feedback, a few slight changes have been made to the Conditions tab. Now, instead of typing in a Pin Number and Course Conditions, you can just point-and-click. In addition, the Course Condition roll values for fairway (FW) and green (G) will be filled in for you. Here’s a partial screenshot of the […]

Besides the new Game Configuration and Wind Rolls menus, Game Caddie 5.0 comes with several tools not seen in earlier versions. This post describes how to use them. The first two tools we’ll look at are the Tree Bounce and Scramble Adj. buttons, as shown below: Let’s start with the Tree Bounce tool. This optional […]

There are four wind settings in Game Caddie 5.0. You select the one you want using the Configuration Menu at the start of play or anytime you want to make a change. Typically, though, you would keep the same setting for an entire round.  This post describes in detail what the different wind settings do. The […]
