I wanted to get something out there to explain some of my reasons for playing the courses I play. This is prompted because I get a lot of recommendations for courses to play when I travel. I want those to keep coming, so please don’t misunderstand what is to follow.
I stick to my four lists because that is the basis of this quest, but also for financial reasons. I’ve mentioned before that I am a regular guy. I don’t have unlimited resources. So if I have an opportunity to play a course from my lists I definitely will over something else. That doesn’t mean I am blowing off your recommendation. Nothing could be further from the truth, but I have costs associated with all trips. Hotels, flights, gas, food, etc. When I go to destinations I try to maximize my time there.
This is really a long-winded way of saying that I am not trying to disrespect your recommendation. Believe me, I am filing it away for when I get back to certain places. That may be in a year or hopefully in retirement. So keep the course suggestions coming because I really do appreciate them! Thanks for indulging my ramblings and thank you for reading.
