Amusing myself while we are in lockdown here in Aus by planning a possible trip in a year or two. I have had 4 or 5 golf trips to the US and am always thinking about the next one!!

Start in Washington State at a little muni called Snohomish.

Drive a few hours to Gamble Sands.

Across the wine valley to Idaho and Circling Raven.

Into Montana and The Ranch or Canyon River both at Missoula

Old Works with its black sands.

Bozeman - Cottonwood Hills

Billings - Eaglerock

Wyoming - Bell Nob

SD - Red Rock or Hart Ranch

NE - Prairie Club

NE - Wild Horse

Ne - Indian Creek

IA - The Harvester

IL - TPC Deere Run

IL - Ravisloe or Kankakee Elks

IN - Warren @ ND

OH - Fowlers Run (maybe Sleepy Hollow)

PA - Olde Stonewall

PA - Gettysburg (not sure about the golf course but I like some history)

NJ - Architects

NY - Bethpage Black

NY - Montauk Downs (this is a course I have always wanted to play being at the extreme end of LI).

I think these 22 courses can be done in 3-4 weeks. Max daily drive about 3/4 hours. Appreciate any comments on what better alternatives might exist without deviating from the I-90/I-80 route. All these courses are playable by we plebs, I believe. But if anyone can tell me, I would like to know what private courses along that route are amenable to a polite request from travelling golfers.

    • Day 147 - 2025-02-24 Got some work done in the hotel room. Not a lot, but five minutes at least.
    • Day 220: did a stack session. 
    • I had the Reeso putter, but the shaft broke at the insert to the putter head.  The manufacturer/designer passed away and there is nobody to fix them anymore.  I just purchased the L.A.B. works putter about 10 rounds ago and it is awesome!  I like it much better than the face-on putter and any other putter I have used.   Goodbye, Yips!
    • 2/23/25 Musgrove Mill Oak tees 72.3/155 Joined this club this year, and have played several times this year. Yesterday, the greens were the first day open since aeration. I struggled to hold greens, and putted as one would expect on aerated greens. For the first time in a while, my tee game was off and only hit 6 fairways when I have been averaging around 70%. Only 15 holes were open as they repair three holes damaged by Hurricane Helene.    Game continues to decline and handicap continues to increase!
    • Day 17: 2/24/25 Weight shift drills tonight followed by putting through 50 mm gates from 11”.
