Hmmmm - let’s see, prior to June of this year…..one.   After June, two as the missus and I were gifted a trip to Club Med in the DR to which I was able to play La Cana.

Scotland, Great Britain, Ireland, USA and the Bahamas. 

I know this is pedantic, but Great Britain is not a country. It is an island made up of England, Scotland and Whales. Where as the UK is a political alliance made up of the countries of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

You got me, I had to look that one up. 

We just got our tickets for Spain for October. Will be visiting Portugal as well, scoping out reasonable places to play.

And what about The British Isles? Can they make it any more confusing!?😜 You have to include the Isle of Man, Scilly, The Channel Islands and some others in each of those designations depending on treaty.

I have lucky enough to have traveled since playing my first round of golf on Aug. 20, 2000. I have played in USA, Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Bahamas, Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, England, France, Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, Czech Republic, Italy, Austria, Croatia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Thailand, Vietnam, Japan, South Africa, Morocco, United Arab Emirates, That makes 25 countries.

That's really cool

I'm interested in knowing your experience in South American countries, since golf tourism is not as developed as in Central America and the Caribbean

I have played 15 of the Golf Digest World's 100 Greatest, including three of the top four. For some reason I can't post the list.

I have played in Scotland and Ireland at some of the top 100 courses in the world including Royal County Down rated number 1, The Old Course, and Carnoustie as well as many others. I was lucky enough to travel with Matty Adams, John Maginnes, and Mark Carnevale as well as a great group of Golf Channel followers. I also have played in Canada, Bermuda, and Jamaica.
