2018 - How Many Rounds & Where Did You Play?


BG5

Recommended Posts

Gents,

 

The 2018 season is over for me and I was lucky enough to get in 43 rounds of golf this year. I had a career year as I had 53 birdies and 3 eagles. With that being said I play forward tees more often than not and always have a mulligan or two so these statistics might be misleading but I sure do have alot of fun tracking my golf info.

 

The Courses I played this year are as follows

 

1. Arcadia Bluffs South Course

2. Forest Dunes

3. Forest Dunes - The Loop - Red

4. Bay Harbor (2 times) Links Quarry

5. Battle Creek Country Club

6. The Moors - Portage

7. Black Lake

8. Pilgrims Run

9. Harbor Shores

10. Eagle Eye

11. Stoatin Brae

12. Treetops Signature (2 times)

13. Treetops Premier

14. Boyne - Art Hills Course

15. Little Traverse Bay

16. Hawks Eye (2 times)

17. Angels Crossing (7 times)

18. Island Hills

19. The Medalist (2 times)

20. Gull Lake View East

21. Stonehenge North

22. Pineview (4 times)

23. States Golf Course

24. Indian Run (3 times)

24. Olde Mill

25. Grand Prairie

26. Hickory Ridge (2 Times)

 

 

2019 Courses that I am most excited to play early in the season

Had an amazing golf year... clocked 58 18hole rounds

 

31 were at my home course Twin Lakes

 

Here is a semi thoughtful ranking of some of my non TL rounds

 

Barton Hills - id call it the best course ive ever played, Kingsley neck and neck with it. the layers to the place are too good

Indianwood Old - amazing layout and variety, just a bit more restoration could make it even cooler

Lochenheath - thx OW22, course has easily the best collection of 1 shotters ive ever played

Boyne Highlands Arthur Hills - best Boyne property track imo

Forest Dunes - thoroughly enjoy FD but after 8-10 plays its losing its luster a bit, still great

Eagle Eye - most pleasant surprise of the year, absolute joy to play, immense strategy and some really solid stretches of holes

The Loop Black - need to play it a couple more times to truly evaluate it but #4 and #8 were two of my favorite holes i played this year

Dearborn CC - desperate for some extensive tree management, but the green complexes were dope

OU Katke - lovely hike, course really reminded me of the lower tier Boyne tracks (Alpine, Moor, Monument)

Western GC - awesome routing all along the rouge river with some solid holes.

Detroit GC North - the South is such a better, more fun 18 at DGC

Lyon Oaks - best Art Hills public in Metro Detroit

Pheasant Run - pleasantly surprised by the enjoyment of these 3 9s, id play it a good amount if i was in the area. West 9 prob fav

Edgewood CC - played it a bunch as a kid, course is blah, but final stretch of 7 straight par 4s is bludgeoning

Moose Ridge - the more i play this course the more i hate it, impossible to get into any rhythm on those first 4 holes (its kinda the point i guess)

Oak Pointe Honors - awful, uninteresting target golf

 

Biggest takeaway for me was getting back into actual tournament golf. mental side is not there when i tried to qualify for the MI Am or the GAM Champ. Broke par for the first time in my life a couple times this year but think the true highlight was a 77 at Barton in the GAM 4Ball, literally used 16/18 scores from my round, partner didnt have it that day.

 

Looking ahead to 2019, tracks scheduled to play
