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 […]
2022 Open Championship: R2 Results
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.

ATG Tournament: R3 Results
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 […]
Game Caddie Quiz #3
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. […]

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 […]
Putting Probabilities for ATG Players
In a previous post, I explained how my Putting Probability Tool works. Since then, I have calculated probability data for all 144 golfers from the original All-Time Greats set and made an updated version of the tool (v.1.006) available on my Downloads page. The tool is an Excel spreadsheet, which means you can manipulate and […]
GC 5.0: Setting Day Conditions
Based on user feedback, a few slight changes have been made to the Conditions tab. Now, instead of typing in a Pin Number and Course Conditions, you can just point-and-click. In addition, the Course Condition roll values for fairway (FW) and green (G) will be filled in for you. Here’s a partial screenshot of the […]
