Last weekend I surpassed the 500 courses threshold on a Memorial Day road trip from Florida to the Appalachians. My wife and I ditched our Prius (The Enterprise) in Mills River, NC for a camper van rental and made it as far north as West by God Virginia to bag some courses.
Our courses played list:
Jackson Park, Glen C. Hilton, Crookston DGC, Glenwood Park, Nellie's Course, and Shaver Rec. Center - Original.
I couldn't have asked for a better way to reach the 500 mark. All but Crookston were signature road trip courses. Along the way we stumbled upon not one, but two different random draw dubs events. The first was in Hickory, NC, put on by the UFO Club at Glen C. Hilton DGC. The group coaxed us into joining them, much merriment was had. They couldn't have been any friendlier. The second event was semi planned. Based off an informative review from Danhyzer (a complete dawg), we blazed a path north to participate in "Sunday Worship" at Nellie's Course of Renick, WV. Once again, the locals were so welcoming and sincere. Shout out to Matt Turner for allowing 2 obscure course baggers to come on to his property and throw his masterful creation. Seriously, his course is among the best private courses I've yet to throw.
As always, our destinations were heavily influenced by DGCR reviewers. You the real MVPs
I feel fortunate to have reached this lofty sum and look forward to the next milestone of 600.
