The winds were blustery and the course conditions firm, but that didn’t stop Tom Watson (1977) from breaking two GCRB records at Seaside (Pebble Beach). Watson turned in the all-time lowest round score for that course, a 63 (-9), and fewest number of putts in any round (18). This happened over the course of two […]

Game Caddie 6.2 offers two ways to measure Average Driving Distance. It will automatically calculate the Average Driving Distance for all non-Par 3 holes, and you can also select two holes to make a separate calculation. The PGA reports both stats, yet to my knowledge the LPGA only reports the stat that accounts for all […]

In preparation for my next tournament replay, the 2023 PGA Championship at Oak Hill, I have been logging a few practice rounds on Acorn Hill (par 70). The reason for doing this is to assess how the course plays in order to create the most realistic APBA replay possible. As such, I’m choosing both good […]

In my last post I shared some highlights from 2023. In this post I cover the worst performances from that year. In both cases I used my copy of the Game Caddie Record Book, which contains all of my APBA Golf rounds dating back to June 2020.   I’ve recorded 2,115 rounds since then, including those […]

Last year at this time, I looked at the Best and Worst rounds of APBA Golf I had played since I began keeping records in June 2020 using the Game Caddie Record Book. That was based on 1,332 rounds played, many of which were against real-life opponents, and so included their scorecard data as well.  […]

In a previous post, I listed the overall best and worst rounds I’ve played using the Game Caddie. Now, I’m going to look at the best and worst rounds by course. Some of these made the earlier list and some didn’t. As of this writing, my Game Caddie Record Book (GCRB) database contains 1,464 rounds […]

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 […]

Today, in Round 3 of my All-Time Greats (ATG) Tournament, J.H. Taylor (1913) and Harry Vardon (1899) had back-to-back chip-ins on hole #11 at Gopher Lakes (Hazeltine). Not only did the shots happen one right after the other, but they occurred from the identical spot–but using different clubs. Both players were sitting at 450 R15, […]

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 […]
