A to Z of Golf Courses Played

yandabrown said:
Being idle I looked at the data: quite some variety in courses but also loads of overlap too. BiM has most overlap having played 14 courses where others have too, most have 5 minimum and the average is almost 8, Wolf is the most eclectic/outlier (lonely wolf?) with just 1 overlap at Princes. Most often mentioned course is Queens Park (reasonable given the Q) followed by Hankley Common and Sunningdale in joint second. K is the only letter where they are ALL different (and for this row everyone has put in a course too).

And am throwing yet another "new" entry for K

I have played 63 courses, but they only equate to 17 initial letters. I haven’t got a D I J N O Q X Y Z. However, Devils Dyke and Ifield aren’t too far away, so I could easily knock those off the list when play returns.
 
Aldenham
Bushey Hall
...
Grims Dyke
Hazlemere
...
Northwood
...
Pinner Hill
...
Radlett Park
Stanmore
Trent Park
Uxbridge
...
Wexham Park

It's annoying how many of the other clubs I've played begin with the same letters as these ones. :LOL:

Ah but I was rescued by Ian reminding me I had played Isle of Bute.:p

Do you know what, looking through this thread I am remembering courses that I have played that I had forgotten ie Gatton Manor and the Sussex National one.
They say you always remember each hole of the great courses you have played, well that is rubbish.
Played St Georges Hill at least 3 times and all I can remember is that nasty wee 125 Yard par 3.
