I am in the process of automating the GC Scorecard, so that users can play faster and not have to worry about how to record certain scoring details. Because some users may not be familiar with all the scoring terms*, I thought it would be useful to describe them here.  Here is an example of […]

In this week’s video with IDJESTER, I answered a question about how to play a shot that goes into the water. Unfortunately, I got it partly wrong. This post is intended to correct that mistake. There are really two parts to this question: (1) How do you handle a shot that goes into the water […]

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 […]

APBA Golf Master Game and GC novice, IDJESTER, has created a second “practice” video in which he plays a few holes by himself. He has asked me to provide feedback, so that he and those watching can improve their skills. This post will do just that. In this video, he once again gets most things […]
