In this week’s video with IDJESTER, I answered a question about how to play a shot that goes into the water. Unfortunately, I got it partly wrong. This post is intended to correct that mistake. There are really two parts to this question: (1) How do you handle a shot that goes into the water […]
Fred Couples: First Take
This post is an initial look at the 1992 Frederick Steven “Fred” Couples card, focusing mainly on his carry distance and accuracy off the tee using a driver. We’ll dissect it, so that you can get a leg up on your competition… Most tee shots with a driver roll 25 – 30 yards if they […]
GC Learning Video #6 with IDJESTER
Tonight, IDJESTER and I ran through several scenarios using the GC, including: balls hit into water or out-of-bounds targeting locations with the Approach Caddie that are less than 25 yards from your ball location what to do when your ball is off the course board locating your ball on the course board after crossing a […]
GC 4.1.2 Now Available
The latest version of the Game Caddie, version 4.1.2, is now available. This update contains the following fixes, design changes, and improvements: The Clubs Boards were carefully proofed by multiple people to identify and correct shot result typos. In most cases, these would have gone unnoticed by the typical GC user and wouldn’t have significantly […]
Driver vs. 2-Iron Off the Tee
I thought it might be interesting to look at the strategy of club selection when teeing off by using some extreme examples. For that reason, I decided to look at the differences between teeing off with a driver and a 2-Iron using two golfers with vastly different driving abilities. The first golfer is Bryson DeChambeau […]
GC Tip: Course-specific Wind Charts
Wind effects are very easily managed in the GC. After loading the hole, you just have to click on the blue box that corresponds to the Wind type and dice roll. After that, the All in One Menu will automatically handle all 2nd dice rolls for wind and apply their effects. Well, that’s normally the […]
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 […]
Game Caddie Quiz #2
Here is another GC Quiz to test your knowledge of the tool (and to some extent the APBA Golf Master Game rules). It’s a 10-question, multiple-choice test that is a little more advanced than Quiz #1. You can find some of the answers to the latest quiz by reading recent posts on this site and […]
GC Tip: Special Approach Situations
The GC Approach Caddie makes it very easy to plan and execute approach shots. It shows you how wind may affect your shot and calculates the “called” distance for you. It will even let you change the angle of approach on most shots. In this post, I’m going to talk about three special situations that […]
GC Learning Video #5 with IDJESTER
Last night, IDJESTER continued his solo GC “practice” round at Magnolia with Fred Couples. He completes holes #10 through #14 without too much difficulty, although a few questions come up. Tonight, he and I got together to talk about those things as well as many more advanced Game Caddie topics. Some of the items discussed […]
