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 […]

Almost two years ago, I began a four-round tournament using all 144 players in the APBA All-Time Greats (ATG) card set. During this past week’s hiatus, I finished round 2 at Badger Links with Jack Nicklaus (1975) atop the leaderboard at -10. Round 1 at Yatch Club was completed in the spring of 2021 with Lee […]

This is the second of two posts on my replay of the 2021 PGA TOUR Championship. Yesterday’s post described the actual tournament and the results of the replay in round-by-round fashion. Today’s post provides a closer statistical comparison and explores the significant impact of putting factors. As with any simulated tournament, the results are always […]

The 2016 Masters at Augusta National is often remembered for Jordan’s Spieth’s collapse in the final round. In 2015, Jordan had led wire-to-wire and won. In 2016, Jordan again led after 54 holes, and thus expectations for another Spieth Green Jacket were high. Conditions at the Masters at Augusta National in 2016 were challenging. Thursday […]

The following is adapted from a post that first appeared on the APBA Between the Lines forum. This post reports on a simulation of the COVID-interrupted 2020 Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass (The Stadium Course). This simulation included 72 of the 80-card 2020 APBA regular season set of players that actually participated in the 1st […]

I’m from MN and was able to go to one of the practice rounds of the 2016 Ryder Cup held at Hazeltine in Chaska, MN. I’m also a long time APBA fan and have always been amazed by the accuracy of the game statistics. Replaying the entire 72 actual golfer rounds using all the Master […]

The following is a “reprint” of a post that originally appeared on the APBA Between the Lines forum. The 2019 US Open at Pebble Beach differed a bit from previous US Open events at that location in that 28 players shot under par with Gary Woodland winning at 13 under. For example, in 2010 the […]
