The Table Top Sports Games of Chris Saguisag
150 started, down to 12, 1 winner.
From Champions Course in Augusta, GA:
There is a way to calculate scores for every player in the All-Time Greats set that I used (150 golfers), but I decided not to do that.
This time.
I have about 17 courses now, so I may come up with an actual golf tour.
Stay tuned!
The Windows 10 400 from the Northwest Empire International Raceway
Race results and current standings:
A lot of cars involved in a late race incident, knocking a few drivers out of the race and many more to the back of the field to finish deep in the pack.
Next up: the Cross Tech 500 from the Northern Lights Motordome.
Star tuned!
So instead of Winston Cup 1979, I decided to go back to one of the 2016 fictional series that I started…
The Stock Car Racing America (SCRAM) Pepsi Cup Racing Series. TRUCK RACING!
Event #4: Windows 10 400 from the Northwest Empire International Raceway.
On the pole: Kelly Wiley in the #22 Honda Ridgeline.
The Facebook favorites:

The following items arrived at the office during my week off:
Ball Park Baseball: 1950 MLB season and 3 stadiums that I needed for other seasons
From PLAAY.com:
– History Maker Baseball: 1971 MLB season
– Second Season: 2001 XFL season (whut?)
– Red White & Blue Racing: 2016 NASCAR season
Stay tuned!
Dad was watching this movie when I got home tonight.
I checked History Maker Golf’s All-Time Great set, and neither golfer is in it. Someone else did make a home brew card of Harry Vardon, though. The golf course from the story is not available in any of the course sets.
The APBA Golf game came with both golfers in the ATG sets. The included course is not the site of the 1913 US Open, however.
I suppose once I figure out how to make golfers and golf courses for History Maker Golf, I can recreate Francis Oumet and the Country Club golf course in Brookline, Massachusetts. Unless someone beats me to it.
Stay tuned!
For my first golf match, I decided to play two of the greatest golfers in history, at the course that I’ve seen the most on TV.
Jack Nicklaus, circa 1962
Arnold Palmer, circa 1954
Admittedly, I mostly just watch the Masters, if I ever do watch golf on TV.
The two golfers come from the All-Time Greats set, which rates them based on the year they turned pro, so this is 1962 Nicklaus vs. 1954 Palmer.
Like most if not all of PLAAY’s games, History Maker Golf weaves a story as you play, at it was honestly like watching a golf match on TV. You could hear the crowd responding to the golfer’s shots, both good and bad. You could see the ball as it traveled from the tee, onto the fairway, and eventually on the green.
And as luck would have it, these two greats ended up in a tie after 17 holes. And both golfers hit for par to end the round still tied.
I decided to play sudden death to determine the winner.
Palmer bogeyed the first hole.
But Nicklaus DOUBLE BOGEYED, giving Palmer the win.
I really like this game. I’m probably going to play a few more matches with 2-4 golfers, then try the tournament mode, and then start creating my own golfers, including Happy Gilmore, Shooter McGavin, maybe myself, and any of my friends who may be interested, or who actually play golf.
Stay tuned!
