I played 47 times, 9 of which were about nine holes (7 were 9, 1 was 12, 1 was 4).

In reverse chronological order and skipping all repeats of course:

  • 24. Links at Firestone Farms (three days ago on Friday)
  • 23. Royal New Kent
  • 22. Bedford Springs
  • 21. Lawrence Park GC
  • 20. Shannopin CC
  • 19. Methodist University GC
  • 18. Whispering Woods GC
  • 17. Columbus Country Club
  • 16. Boulder Creek GC
  • 15. Little Mountain CC
  • 14. Park Country Club
  • 13. Venango Valley
  • 12. Kahkwa Club
  • 11. Pittsburgh Field Club
  • 10. Greystone Golf Club
  • 9. Moon Brook Country Club
  • 8. Cranberry Highlands GC
  • 7. Castle Hills GC
  • 6. Southern Pines GC
  • 5. Dormie Club
  • 4. Mid Pines GC
  • 3. Pine Needles GC
  • 2. Oak Tree CC
  • 1. Birdsfoot GC (February 23, 2020)

Considering that's only 47 rounds, I spread it around pretty well. Most of those except, say, Lawrence Park, Links at FF, and of course Whispering Woods I played just once.

Now, there were times I had clubs out playing but not keeping score. Just practicing. Playing a few holes while Natalie played/practiced. Stuff like that.

I have 84 scores posted, 62 of them at my home club.  I had two visits to the Pinehurst area, with a total of 13 rounds, and a visit to Palm Springs, played 7 rounds there.  I played in maybe 3 interclub matches at other courses, one charity event in Cumberland MD, a meet-up with TST guys at Royal New Kent.  That's a fair bit of golf!

I've played 42 rounds to date this year (I think a few are 9-hole rounds), and posted 32 to GHIN. I'm hoping to get in 10 more before the end of the year to be able to say I played golf once per week. It might be tough, but I have 3 more weekends and then 5 company holidays between Christmas and New Year's Eve to get the rounds in.

I played 6 courses this year:

  • Tilden Park Golf Course
  • Chuck Corica South Course
  • Lake Chabot Municipal Golf Course
  • Metropolitan Golf Links
  • Franklin Canyon Golf Course
  • Old Brockway Golf Club

104 rounds so far for 2020. Not likely to add much to that number as the weather has made a turn for the worse.  Thirty different courses but only four were new to me.  A pre-COVID trip to Reunion, FL, in February, otherwise all the rounds were in the SE section of the Mitten.

I played 60 times with all but one 18 holes.   I played almost 40 different courses. 

Now if we are counting times on the simulator since the season ended I have close to 20  in the last month.

Have no idea how many rounds I played this year. I'd guess somewhere between 60 and 70, but several of those were nine holes at my new home course.

Started at my old, now-shut, home course at Kittyhawk and will finish (hopefully) with a few more rounds at Miami Shores this month. Along the way, I visited:

Windy Knoll

Rocky Lakes

Yankee Trace

Beavercreek Golf Club

Sugar Isle

Homestead

Meadowbrook

Reid Park (South course)

Stillwater Ridge (now closed)

Community (Hills Course)

WGC Xenia

Locust Hills (Maple Course)

All Dayton area. No traveling anywhere this year for me.

I have 44 rounds in my stats app, plus I played another ~5 or so of scrambles/alt shot, etc so I'm going to say right around 50, which is definitely an all time high for me.

Starting with the most recent (excluding duplicates, * means new courses for me this year)

  1. St. Albans GC
  2. Turnberry Golf Course
  3. Raccoon International Golf Club
  4. Westchester Golf Course*
  5. New Albany Links
  6. Virtues Golf Club*
  7. Foxfire Golf Club*
  8. Pinnacle Country Club*
  9. Deer Ridge Golf Club*
  10. Links at Echo Springs
  11. Links at Firestone Farms GC*
  12. Cumberland Trail Golf Club*
  13. Prairie View Golf Club
  14. Colonial Golfers Club*
  15. Mid South Club
  16. Tobacco Road Golf Club*
  17. Talamore Golf Course
  18. Blacklick Woods Golf Course
  19. Moundbuilders Country Club*
  20. Darby Creek Golf Course
  21. Golf Club of Dublin*
  22. Kyber Run Golf Course
  23. Tanglewood Golf Course
  24. Clover Valley Golf Club
  25. Table Rock Golf Club
  26. Royal American Golf Links

Nearly half of the courses were new to me this year which I didn't realize until making this list. Also kinda funny to see the contrast in quality of courses on this list, I played a couple rounds on $100+ per round courses and a couple rounds on $20-25 courses.

94 posted rounds so far, the vast majority at one or the other of the 2 courses at my home club.  I’ll be a bit over 100 by year end.  We were lucky that Covid shutdowns didn’t have much impact on golf here, so pretty normal.

    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
