How Many Courses Have You Played?

[Chanceman]

Just checked my last entry in 2018 and the number was 133. It's now up to 215 somehow. In that time I have played 20 courses in Ireland including Portrush, Ballybunion, Waterville and RCD, 12 in Scottsdale (places like Desert Forest and We Ko Pa), about 10 in Colorado/Nebraska including Sand Hills and Ballyneal, and a bunch of others on a trip to Scotland/Dornoch as well as some new courses here in Oz eg  Kooyonga and R Adelaide.

A while ago I finally sat down and developed a list.  I am at 269 (that I can remember!).  Sadly, with the COVID situation I am not really travelling very far from home so adding new ones will likely wait until 2021.

My number isnt that high currently. I’m only at 19. Once I get my son off to college I expect to add a lot to that number and spend a lot of time traveling.

1. How many courses have you played?  39, but will become 40 by this time tomorrow.

2. How many states/countries does that cover?  Three states, but the vast majority are west-central Ohio. Six are in the area of Outer Banks were we often vacation and then I played one round on a par-3 course in Delaware while visiting my brother.

3. Do you collect anything from each course you visit?  Nope.

Playing high school and college golf put me on a lot of courses I might not have played otherwise.  Then there're all the private country clubs I snuck onto.  My total is probably over 130.  And I've played golf, not always well, in 14 states.

I just added five Bandon Dunes courses to bring my total to 409 courses played.

- 16 countries

- 10 US Open venues

- 7 British Open venues

- 9 PGA Championship venues

- 1 Masters venue (obviously only 1)

- 45 PGA Tour venues

 

I have been very fortunate.

I can only say that I once owned a used set of Titleist AP 2's that played Augusta National.  Best I can do.

I added Washtenaw Golf Club today!    I like it!

I've played 33 different courses so far this year.

Yes, I like Washtenaw.  I have played there several times, including January 3, 2020.  My notes were:  "43 degrees, cloudy, a breeze around 7 mph. Nice. Course was very soft but not under water. Played long. Rough was healthy. Greens were pretty quick for January."

You got me on the numbers.  Only 25 courses this year.  4 new ones and only a single new course in the Mitten.

1. About 80-100 (I can name 65off the top of my head)
2. 7 in the US(Tx, Fl, NC), 2 or 3 in each of Caribbean, Mexico, Thailand, Australia, España, Ireland, 10 or so in England and the rest in Scotland of course.

I think I'm somewhere around 600.

Logo collection a couple of years in so some missing.

Forced to close my business back in 2011 where I had them on the wall in my office,

Wife will have nothing to do with me putting them up in the basement, so my prized collection is in a luggage bag.

[Roadking2003]

Nice logo ball collection and I recognize many of them.  Here is my collection.  I made these display racks to fit my office wall.

 

[whysguy]

wow, nice rack!

Pun fully intended for no reason whatsoever.

Embarrassed to say this is the whole lot. Upper 60’s I think...a far cry from most of you guys

Some impressive numbers on here. I don't think I've reached 150 rounds total yet, but with the kids getting older I now got a lot more time for golf (Played 75 of those 150ish this year). 

1. I have played 32 different courses. 

2. 21 in Norway, 11 in other countries: Spain (3), Ireland (1), Scotland (2), Denmark (2) and Sweden (3). The most spectacular one is definitely Lofoten Links (north of the polar circle), where you can play a very challenging links course in fantastic nature around the clock in the midnight sun.   

3. I used to save my score cards, but over the years they unfortunately ended up in the trash. Now only in memory. 

I love playing new courses, and I can easily spend a couple of hours "window shopping" on google maps or in course guides. Playing new courses makes you realize how much of an advantage it is to know your way around a golfcourse, both from tee ot green and around/on the greens. Knowing where you can miss it and knowing the greens usually takes a few rounds to learn too. That the score is a little higher than usual doesn't take the fun out of playing a new course though.

Maybe 30 courses.  WA, OR, Kauai, AZ, CA, Cabo and Puerto Vallarta.

Bend Oregon and Sedona Arizona have some great golf.
