There wasn’t much doubt after the 3rd hole of the final round of my All-Time Greats (ATG) Tournament at Los Angeles (Riviera). Following an eagle and two birdies, Jack Nicklaus (1975) was sitting comfortably at 19-under for the tournament with a 7-stroke lead over Nick Price (1994) and 9-stroke edge over Arnold Palmer (1960). Palmer […]

This is a brief follow-up to an earlier post on my 2022 Open Championship replay. It provides a statistical overview of how Birthplace played over the course of four rounds (256 holes) under mostly favorable conditions with different pin placements. It also highlights some of the challenges of playing Birthplace. A Round-By-Round Statistical Recap of […]

My four-round, 64-golfer simulation of the 2022 Open Championship wrapped up this past weekend. Before I tell you who won, let me say that some of the statistical comparisons between the actual event and the replay are amazing. More on that below. In previous posts, I have documented the tournament’s earlier round results and how […]

Using the yet-to-be-released version 5.2 of the Game Caddie, I flew through round 3 of my 2022 Open Championship replay, logging 64 rounds of APBA Golf in just a couple of weeks. More about GC v.5.2 later in this post. Recaps of rounds 1 and 2, both actual and as replayed, have been described previously. […]

In this post, I’ll be covering several things: (1) the results of my replay of the 2022 Open Championship at St. Andrews (Birthplace), (2) some commentary on speed of play using Game Caddie 5.0 and 5.1, and (3) a preview of what to expect in version 5.2. Previous posts on this tournament discussed setting up […]

Play has wrapped up at Gopher Lakes (Hazeltine National) in round 3 of my All-Time Greats (ATG) tournament, and I couldn’t be happier. The 1st round took place at Yatch Club (Harbour Town), where Lee Trevino (1971) jumped into the lead with an 8-under 63. In round 2, Jack Nicklaus (1975) moved to the top […]

This is the second in a series of posts about playing Birthplace using Game Caddie 5.0. The first post described how to set up the the Game Caddie for a replay of the 2022 Open Championship on this course. Today’s post provides a comparison of round 1 results for the actual event and my simulated […]

This post is the first in a series describing a replay of the 2022 Open Championship at St. Andrews (Birthplace), which took place from July 14-17, 2022. The actual field consisted of 156 players of which 83 made the cut at Even par. The course conditions were “firm and fast.” As described in an SI […]

It had all the makings of an historically bad round, yet wasn’t. But it wasn’t pretty either–unless you mean pretty wild. Today’s round with Macdonald “Mac” Smith (1926) at Gopher Lakes was one of the most unusual I’ve ever played. It happened in the third round of my All-Time Greats (ATG) tournament. Smith began the […]

I recently completed a 45-player, four-round tournament at Congressional (Metro D.C.) using the Game Caddie. All players were from the APBA 1971 season card set. Here is a round-by-round summary of the event: Rd 1 – DeWitt Weaver led after the first day with a 68 followed closely by George Archer. Rd 2 – The […]
