I recently passed a milestone number of golf courses played: 700 in my life so far. So I updated my all-time top 10 and broke it down a couple of other ways for @GOLFPASS

- Gil Hanse on @GolfChannel Live From the PGA Championship just now: “We would rather compromise green speeds than compromise great architecture.” A-freakin’-men.
- The Southern Hills/The Country Club/The Old Course rotation for the 2022 moveable majors is not likely to be beaten for a while.Official motion to add a The Country Club to the U.S. Open rotation. The history, the golf course, the Boston fans. Just an ideal place to hold a golf tournament.
- Tech is fun and often helpful, but I hate when it threatens the physical culture of golf. Imagine thinking golf cart GPS is a worthwhile alternative to a great yardage book. Could never be me.
- Replying to @JonRahmOfficial @JonRahmpga and @goodwalkspoiledGotta do orange chicken as part of the appetizers at next year’s Champions Dinner.
- The PGA Tour’s stiff-arming of the USGA and R&A’s attempts to make golf more sustainable by moderating the distance the golf ball travels will go down as one of the most selfish, short-sighted and misguided moves by any major sports organization in its history.
- TOT HILL FARM G.C. Asheboro, N.C. Mike Strantz, 2000 $110 After significant, loving investment (new Zoysia greens, 1,500 felled trees +++) by new ownership, Strantz’s most polarizing design has shed years of neglect. Finally, it’s the quirky jewel it was always meant to be.
- I’ve seen enough: hold the PGA Championship at Southern Hills every 4 to 6 years. Bunkers that are real hazards, wind, slopes greens, guys BOUNCING BALLS INTO GREENS! (in the U.S.!)
- Replying to @JasonSobelGolf and @emilia_doranNantz tomorrow: “From jail to Quail, it’s PGA Championship redemption for Scheffler in Charlotte!”
- Replying to @MidwestGolfJakeThe torque he created back then likely would have shredded his back and knee even earlier.
- If you genuinely have greater affection for a golf ball than you do for, say, The Old Course, please do the rest of us a favor and just play on a simulator.
- I've been that "random 4th" hundreds of times in my golf life. Couldn't be happier that my chances of being paired with these guys are low.There is no bigger vibe killer than getting a random 4th in a golf round
00:00 - CABOT CITRUS FARMS (KAROO) Brooksville, Fla. Kyle Franz, 2024 $165 Course #607 Tons of cheeky contouring on and around huge greens, some of the most extensive bunkering you’ll ever see, split fairways galore and newly-open vistas make for an intense but rewarding trip.
- Wandering the local antique mall for golf stuff and…it’s too bad I’ve never played here, otherwise I’d snap it up for $17. #logobingo
