Goading works, lol.

 

[DFrah]

He's just so close! You gotta root for the record breaker.

 

[wellsbranch250]

Guess what these 16 Southeast Wisconsin courses all have in common? Sandy Knoll, Sandy Knoll 2, Village Park, Valley View, Vernon, Rosendale, FDL HS, Miniwaukee, Lime Kiln, Jackson Park, Firemans (columbus), Dineen, Crystal lake, Calin Webb, Madison Park, Mayville.

I know, I know!!!

That's not it though.

It will be interesting to see what the threshold ends up being to make this list come New Years, as 20 is the lowest number we have seen in the history of the site. That's not to say these numbers are disappointing though, as only 2023 and the golden years of the site have had more reviews from a top 25. No one had a crazy month, with wellsbranch and DFrah tied at 9 each to climb up the all-time list.

smithinggolfer is also the only true DGCR rookie on the list, with Urmomsbf being the only other person to have not made a previous list in this top 25. There's plenty of other would-be first timers just outside the list, so we'll see if the last 2 months of the year bring any surges.

Only 56 or so reviews separate this year from 4th all-time. Let's see if we get there, given that some of our top reviewers for the year are wrapping up their years. I know I have a few more coming up - let's see how high up we can get! This number is understandably decreasing post-Summer surges, but we're running at a pace for 1,477 reviews, which would only be behind 2009.

With Wellsbranch250 and Moose33 joing the list, we're one new entry away from the threshold for this list being 57 reviews. Our 2024 podium each added reviews but remained in their spots, but EspressoPatronum jumped 9 spots in October and DFrah jumped 23.

A certain cat gif lover's hinting also indicates this list could have a new leader a week from now as well. History is around the corner....

 

[HyooMac]

I wish the site accounted for updated reviews. I've done about 30 of them this year, and they're almost as much work as starting from scratch.

I realize this is an unrealistic wish, as an "update" could be just changing a few words.

But as the number of baggable courses in a day trip has dwindled, I've gotten real pleasure in getting back to courses I played several years ago (and seeing my scores improve).

 

[Pizza God]

I wish there was enough time in the day to review all the courses I have played this year.

I would be happy to track these - it's just too hard with how fast the front page updates with reviews to stay consistent with it.

1st world problems

jk, huge respect for what you're doin'

 

[Moose33]

Going to try to push for 7 more this year. That would get me to 250 played. Have plans for 5…need to get two more somewhere. May use some year end PTO to finish.

I'm in a similar situation as you, @Moose33 ! Nine more unique courses will get me to 250. I've got a few within driving distance. Two months should be enough time... right??

 

[Pizza God]

Sitting at 259 courses played this year. Wonder if I can squeeze in 41 in the next 2 months to keep up with last year. I do want to make course number 2000 Oak Grove, that is going to take some planning. Wanting to do it in December. (36 courses away)

 

[wolfhaley]

Almost there...

[wellsbranch250]

He really ought to go for 300 reviews.

 

[Tyler V]

Someone put a temp course outside his residence to get him another review.

I'm done getting peer pressured by you bullies.


If y'all want to chip in for my speeding ticket on the way home, that'd be cool though.

I will donate some gas money when you make it to north alabama.
