2. How many states/countries does that cover? 50 states and 24 countries. This includes North America, South America, Europe, Asia and African continents.
3. Do you collect anything from each course you visit?  a logo ball and my scorecard.

I save a logo ball from each course (if they have them). At present I have 796 balls displayed in 8 100-ball racks.

Jesus, how old are you, 211?

Hi Gunther, FYI I am 73 heading for 74 in early 2017. I am semi-retired and do travel some on business to which I add free time to test out the local courses where ever I am. My score now is 889 logo balls from 943 courses played. I added 3 more countries - Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina. I have trips in the works that will add several more in 2017.

My totals pale compared to chipper2 but my best guess is somewhere in the 40-50 range on courses played, the large majority in Texas plus 1 in New Mexico, 1 in Colorado, in Jamaica and the island of St. Thomas. Pretty sure I'm missing some; I keep my scorecard and pencil for each round played.

Carry on my wayward drive

There'll be pars when you are done

Lay your weary wedge to rest

Don't you shank no more

I haven't visited this site in some time. I see I made post #15 on this thread in 2008. I have now played more than 750 courses. I have logo balls from more than 500 that I've played and have photographed almost 500 courses. Here's a link to some of my golf course photos. Theay are listed alphabetically except for the first few which I most recently photographed.

I have only played about 100 golf courses but I have been lucky to play some of the best. Pebble Beach, St. Andrews, Muirfield, Troon, Seminole, Oakland Hills (both), Harbor Town, Trump National (Doral), World Woods (both), Shadow Creek and I know I'm missing some. That being said, I have enjoyed playing some of the lesser know courses more than the ones that I have mentioned above.

My bag:

Taylor Made R7 (x-stiff).
Taylor Made Burner 2 irons (stiff)
Cleveland Wedges (gap and 60)
Odyssey two ball putter (white)

I'd estimate it's in the 40-50 course range, mostly in the Carolinas.  Some of my favorites have been:

Caledonia- Pawleys Island, SC

Thornblade- Greenville, SC

Stono Ferry- Charleston, SC

Rocky River- Concord, NC

The Walker Course- Clemson, SC

Since we started not too long ago

1. many courses have you played?   About 30. We repeat a few favorites quite often
2. How many states/countries does that cover? Mainly in Japan, but occasionally Asia (Malaysia,Thailand)
3. Do you collect anything from each course you visit?  Nothing in particular but a 1-18 hole video if they allow.

I have been playing for over 40 years,  Played in all the provinces except Newfoundland.  Played in Myrtle Beach and the PeeDee Swamp Fox area and have played over 50 courses there. Some are no longer there even lol.  Played in Hawaii on Maui at the Dunes there and I have played in Maine.  I have  played in Washington and in Florida.  But having been an Ontario child of god and and now a relocated New Brunswick senior,  I have these pretty much blanket covered. I used to collect Bag tags. Too noisy on the bags clacking away. If I really like a new course, I will keep a score card.  My calculated totals are up over  300.   No bucket lists any more.  But I will get to Ireland in the next couple of years and play one at least.

Bumping this thread because I went through the exercise of counting up all the courses I can remember ever playing the other day. 

1) 41 Golf Courses in total

2) States include: Texas, Colorado, Montana, California and will be adding Alabama this summer. Countries include: USA, Mexico, Aruba, Scotland

3) The more prestigious courses or courses that mean something special to me I try and find a golf ball with a logo to showcase in my office at home.

I have a spreadsheet that I keep a list of every course I've played. Right now I'm at 303. Hopefully add a few more to that this year. I have played over 100 courses in the US and in England. I've also played in Wales, Scotland, Ireland, France, Portugal, Spain, Canada, Mexico, Australia and Barbados. I'm unlikely to add to my country count in the near future I suspect.

    • Day 76 - Pretty sore today, so I opted for putting over my Stack session. Primary focus was on starting line, as my putting has been pretty poor this year. 
    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind. 
    • Day 109- Putting drills on a putting green for 20 minutes. 
    • Day 252: did a stack session. Did some slow rehearsal swings during breaks. 
    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting.
