Silverado Foursome
I played a round of golf last night!
The venue:
The players:
Calvin Peete
Mike Souchak
Jay Herbert
Nick Price
The results:
It was close at the halfway point, but then Price birdied on 4 of the last 6 holes and ran away with the win.
And like some of my other table top games (sports and war), I learned something that I didn’t know, this time it was about the man named Calvin Peete, the most successful African-American golfer prior to Tiger Woods.

1984: Dwight Gooden, Game 10
1984: Dwight Gooden, Game 9
Difficulty?
I find myself taking a longer time playing a game with Replay Baseball than with Ball Park Baseball.
I think it’s just a case of unfamiliarity with charts and stuff.
I like Replay’s system, I just need to get a few more games under my belt, so I don’t flip through the rules as often as I do now.
Stay tuned!
