On a similar vein as the "How Many States" query, how many countries?  Other than the USA and Canada, I have only been to Ireland and the UK (Scotland).  Some golfers who have visited the Caribbean or traveled through Europe might have some impressive numbers.

Get real, bk. Canada is an independent country, with its own rich golf tradition. You need to count them separately. Your phrasing doesn't do much US-Canadian relations. :beer:

To show your repentence, buy the next Canadian you meet a Molson.

------------------------

Besides USA, I have played golf in Japan (Okinawa, about 30 years ahead of Normdamarine); Taiwan; Germany, and Italy. (I've also played in Sicily, whose locals would count it as an honorary separate country.)

I ordered a Chicken and an Egg on the Internet, to find out which came first... I'll keep you posted!

So you know someone who played in another country and she brought you a shirt.  Well, I guess that counts..... :-P

U.S., Japan, Argentina, Mexico, Spain

Was supposed to play Pete Dye's Black Pearl course in Honduras when we pulled in on a cruise a couple of years back......but it turned out that I was the ONLY ONE ON THE ENTIRE FREAKING BOAT that wanted to play golf, so they canceled the excursion.  I could have piled into a cab and played on my own, but decided it was just too much trouble.  I'll bet they had 1,000 people that went to swim with the stinkin' dolphins, but couldn't come up with one more golfer on that damn barge!  Yeah.....I'm still pissed. :pound:

Just a 'point of information' but Molson, and Labatt for that matter, are absolute piss. When you come to Canada do yourself a favour and explore our micro-brewery offerings. I highly recommend McAuslin's beer, all they do are ales and they do it very, very well!

The Budweiser of Canada. The equivalent of Fosters in Australia. Beer for people who don't really like beer...... ;-)

    • Day 22 - 2026-01-11 More mirror work. Back outdoors tomorrow.
    • Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)
    • Day 9: 2026.01.11 Hit some balls at the range, concentrating on weight distribution at address, got some on film.
    • Day 468 - 2026-01-11 Loooooong day. Did some work in the patio door (as a mirror) when I got home.
    • I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
