Geoff Schmitt contacted me to let us know about his Golf Tournament he’s doing using APBA Golf for Windows.
This is a first and I’m intrigued… Golf for Windows. Here is the relevant data from Geoff:

Geoff tells us a little bit about his project :
“The players I use are from the all time greats, the 1972, 1985 and 2010 groups as well as the modern set of golfers. I have completed 3 major tournaments as well as 3 minor tournaments. plus one minor tournament done by the APBA box and cardboard courses.”
I’d like to hear an update in the future on how the tournament is going and maybe even a review of the Golf for Windows game. :)
thanks, Geoff!
If you want to brag about your league, we’re listening! Tell us all about the league you are in and we’ll post a profile about it. In the meantime, read about other leagues who have written in.
I have completed 3 tournaments using 171 golfers with Casper, Jones and Nicklaus winning those tournaments. I have started another one and afterwards will take the top ten percent with ties from the 4 tournaments and play a tournament of champions. I am trying to find a different course for this.
These are the following results of my majors,
Major #1
1. Billy Casper, 64-62-68-67-261 (-27) $1,080,000
2. Curtis Strange, 67-61-68-65 (-27)
$698,000
3. Jim Ferrier, 68-62-62-70 (-26)
$408,000
Casper beat Strange in a playoff
2nd major
1. Bobby Jones 65-63-68-66-262 (-26)
$900,000
2.Walter Hagen 66-62-73-62-263 (-25)
$540,000
3.Ben Crenshaw 64-69-70-62-265 (-23)
$290,000
4.Hunter Mahan 65-61-69-70-265 (-23)
$290,000
Major #3
1.Jack Nicklaus 63-72-65-64-264 (-24)
$1,080,000
2.Dan Sikes 60-69-68-67-264 (-24)
$528,000
2.Martin Kaymer 65-68-65-66-264 (-24)
$528,000
Jack won this in sudden death
I used 171 golfers for each of these tournaments. If anyone wants the complete results, I’ll try to get them posted.
