2022 Open Championship: R3 Results
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.

Best & Worst Course Records
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.

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 […]

With the release of Game Caddie 5.0, several new features have been added and some things have changed. Here is a quiz to test your knowledge of the latest version.
Best and Worst Rounds (So Far)
Lately, I’ve been playing a lot of rounds on Birthplace (St. Andrews) under near-ideal conditions and getting scores that are quite a bit lower than usual for me. The beginning of a new year is a time for reflection, so it got me to wondering: What are the best and worst rounds I’ve had so […]
Updates in GC 5.1
The latest release of the Game Caddie, version 5.1, corrects a problem with the Caddie 3 worksheet and gives you greater control over how the Wind Rolls menu works. In the previous version (5.0), the ability of the All in One menu to perform second lie rolls had accidentally been turned off for Caddie 3. […]
