Yesterday, contributor Peter Imber posted an enjoyable article for The Bleacher Report entitled “Winter Golf: I’ll Be Rolling the Dice Without Tiger”. Imber talks about going “old school” and playing APBA Golf as a kid.
Imber writes:
“For a table top game, APBA was the top of the line. PGA players had individual cards that were created to reflect their abilities and tendencies. In the original set of 32 there were the Big Three: Palmer, Nicklaus and Player, as well as forgotten pros like Joe Campbell, Ted Kroll and Johnny Pott.”
I admit to playing a few rounds of APBA Golf myself. I even bought new “cards” from the APBA Journal which included Tiger Woods. It’s a fun game though it would have been more fun had I been a golf fan and known the golfer’s strengths and weaknesses a little better.
Nice to see the ol’ Golf game getting good press after all these years.
Tommy,
I never knew that you plyed APBA golf.
You’ll have to show me the game next get together. How about horse racing?
I played it twice- it’s good too.
