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 […]

DeChambeau’s Disaster
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 […]
Back-to-Back Chip-Ins!
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, […]
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 […]
Poll Results: Aiming Adjustment
On Friday, I posted a poll asking readers: Do you think you should subtract 5 yards of distance for every 15 yards you aim on W/I shots? The post had 24 views as of early Sunday night. Here are the results: Ten people voted; nine of them think you should subtract 5 yards of distance […]
Bluegrass7 Shot Locator Tool Now Available
This is a follow-up to an earlier post about hole #7 at Bluegrass, which has two centerlines (CL’s). One of those also has diagonal gridlines as opposed to square ones, making it more challenging to locate the ball. In that post, I mentioned that I had created a tool that can help you locate your […]
A Question About Aiming
A long-time GC user asked me via email today to weigh in on an issue being discussed elsewhere in the APBA community. He said, “An interesting question was posed on the TGA Tour FaceBook page. Do you subtract 5 yards for every 15 yards you aim?” As my GC friend correctly pointed out, the APBA […]
Future of the GC: Part 1
The GC has come a long way in a relatively short amount of time. Less than two years ago, almost no one had heard of it let alone used it. As of today, this GC website, which is only about 6 weeks old, has had over 1700 page views. This doesn’t even count the thousands […]
Lateral Movement Estimator
While the Game Caddie has built-in charts to help you plan the carry on shots, it doesn’t have anything comparable for estimating lateral movement. Of course, you can always consult the individual Club boards, but I thought it would be handy to have the information summarized in one place, so I created this table: A […]
