*Herman Hill Park only became my home course after moving in January. Going by scorebook rounds entered, my previous home course Carey Park, which was home for more than a decade, would be at 53%. Thing is people do move, and some people may consider more than one course their home course. Therefore, their most commonly played course may not be the one someone currently calls home.

[Moose33]

Haha good add Heartman, also if any of in international guys do this just make your own write ins of countrys played instead of states.

Scarp, I get the beef, but wild outliers like that are part of what could make this data really cool in the end. Like Heartman, who's is from near Fayetteville considers McCurry his home course, but he doesn't live close currently so only plays there a few ones per year.
