I recently set up a match play tournament and called it “2024 North Pole Classic.” The top 16 All-Time Greats, as ranked by an online publication, were selected to participate. The rankings are shown below. The golfers were divided into four regions, all northern locations: Here are the results: Tiger beat McIlroy 5 and 3 […]

The Worst of 2024
In my last post I highlighted some of my best APBA Golf achievements from 2024. In this one I’ll focus on the lowlights. For comparison check out my post on the worst of 2023. Adam Schenk (2023) turned in the worst scorecard in 2024, a 14-over par performance at Acorn Hill (Oak Hill) back in […]

Long-time followers of this blog know that every year at this time, I take a look back at the rounds of APBA Golf I’ve played the previous year. This post looks at some of the best rounds and other high points of 2024. This past year I logged 811 rounds of APBA Golf, playing by […]

Watson Sets Records at Seaside
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 […]
Selecting Holes to Measure Average Driving Distance
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 […]
Åberg Owned It But Schenk Stank
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 […]
The Worst of 2023
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 […]
The Best of 2023
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. […]
