To all the courses I've played before...


With some of the ramblings about how many golf courses people have played, I decided to make a list. It is mostly complete with a few exceptions of courses I have long forgotten. Hopefully it will be out of date this coming weekend while I get out before US Open coverage starts. Looking for a new 
victim… (And yes, I before you wonder what got into me with a 2nd blog posting in the same week, I'm making an effort to get some of the blog topics I have rattling around in this head of mine out to the world...as if you care.  Now back to your regularly scheduled blog)

As for my favorites, I like the Links at Lighthouse Sound in Ocean City MD which is an interesting mix of a coastal links esque front 9 and a parkland back 9. A Donald Ross course circa 1898, Shennecossett near my home town in Connecticut is a course that is near and dear to my heart. With views of the French Alps on one side and of the Mediterranean Sea on the other, the Monte Carlo Golf Club above Monaco (the course is technically in France) was probably the most scenic course I’ve played.

Maybe I’d add some more indepth course reviews later of certain courses- with a “homeless spin” of course.
