Sorry Smiffy, it wasn't meant to read like that. I was talking about my 9 hole mini chop around the front nine. Actually enjoyed the PM and you and your mates all playing well made it really competitive and great fun.
How many new courses have you played this year?

Managed to play a few new ones this year.
Rosapena, tom morris old course, royal portrush dunluce course, so 2 fantastic links courses. Also played a wee 9 holer called ardminnan in ulster cup which is not the best to be honest. But all were freebies so can't complain really.

Been lucky to go on a crazy amount of golf trips this year and have been playing lots of new courses around London aswell so have managed to rack up the tally:
Capital City Club - Crabapple, Atlanta
Atlanta Athletic Club, Atlanta
The New Course, St. Andrews
The Jubilee, St. Andrews
Belle Mare Plage Links, Mauritius
Le Touserrok, Mauritius
Anahita, Mauritius
Bandon Dunes, Oregon
Pacific Dunes, Oregon
Bandon Trails, Oregon
Old Macdonald, Oregon
Oceanico Pinhal, Portugal
Oceanico Victoria, Portugal
The Grove
The Buckinghamshire
Blackmoor
West Essex
Leighton Buzzard
Dunstable Downs
Woldingham
Swinley Forest
The Berkshire
The Bandon Dunes courses were the best by a mile. I really would struggle to believe that there is a better collection of courses anywhere in the world...
Atlanta Athletic was the toughest. Absolutely brutal but did manage to finish the final 3 holes (The playoff holes in the USPGA) in +1 which was the only real highlight in my 14 over par 86...
Biggest let down were probably the Mauritius courses (though I reckon Le Tousseok has the potential to be world class) and the biggest surprise package was Blackmoor which I totally fell in love with (thanks again richart) -which is especially surprising considering I usually only like courses I play well on!!

Murrayshall - Lynedoch (damn silly course)
Dunkerque (France)
Oostburg (Holland)
Damme (Belgium)
Not as many as usual, since on "the Scottish trip" this year we re-visited a couple of old haunts, and have started buying day tickets rather than doing two different courses in one day. Now up to 160 courses played - and for someone living in London seems a bit bizarre that the large majority are in Scotland.

Castlerock
Narin & Portnoo
Ballyboofy and Stranrolar
Farnham Estate
Slieve Russell
Bundoran
Stranbane

Looking forward to next year and I believe Portstewart and Dungannon are on the cards.

Just looked at my calendar and am amazed at how many new courses I have played this year.
New courses for me this year:
The Dorset Country Club - not bad but judgement clouded by playing 9 holes in 5 under!
Brockenhurst Manor - very nice
Broadstone - excellent
Parkstone - nearly as good
Blackmoor - superb
Woodhall Spa - excellent but slightly overrated
Bearwood Lakes - best new course I have played by a long way (Thanks Paul!) Still remember my putt on the last!
Willingdon - can't remember so can't be very good
Penha Longha, Cascais. Absolutely lovely
Oitavos Dunes, #1 ranked course in portugal and I thought it was poor
Quinta de Marinha - lovely course
The Grove - better than I expected
Toulouse Seilh - pretty good track
Not bad for someone who keeps saying he rarely plays golf! What utter rubbish that is.....

Not a bad year this year - with first GM meets as well, courtesy of Tiger:
Woburn - Dukes (technically a re-visit as I last played there 25 years ago - but I can actually hit a ball now)
Bedfordshire - well worth a visit
The Suffolk - needs some maintenance and some of the worst rough I've seen for a while
Thetford - definitely going back
Felixstowe Ferry - great course, need to develop my game for links golf, though.
Brockett Hall - Palmerston - very nice
Brockett Hall - Melbourne - golfing eye candy
