Game Caddie 4.0 comes with 31 APBA courses already set up for you. To use any of them, all you have to do is load it with the Import Course button on the desired Course tab. To play, you must have the actual APBA boards for that course.
Periodically, I release updates to the GC and include any new courses I’ve created or that have been sent to me by other users. If you have an APBA course that you have created for the GC and would like it to be included in a future update, please email it to me at smohler9@gmail.com.
I am particularly interested in these courses, since I already have volunteers to proof them:
- Angus Links
- Juno Beach
Here are the courses that the GC already has built into it:
Reviewing Courses
I am also looking for volunteers to proof any of these courses:
- Rattlesnake
- Southport
- North Empire
Creating Courses
