How many more golf courses would you like to see? is a question my wife asks me quite a lot. I've been able to see some cracking golf around the world but that only intensifies the urge to explore more...
Courses I Want to Visit
If I left GB&I today never to return, it would sadden me I missed seeing them but I could sleep at night. The reason to visit is for a multitude of factors. For example, it may have been a recommendation from a trusted source or even to challenge my own palette with regard to golf course architecture. The GB&I list includes some obscure courses that are due to a specific golf course architect being involved (Dalmunzie & Tom Simpson, Leckford Old & Harry Colt, or Killarney & Sir Guy Campbell).
