Who chooses the courses Mike? Does Rob come to you with a wish list for the season ahead?
 
Probably only managed about 20-25 rounds but that'll soon be changing. I leave the Navy in April and will be taking the plunge and joining my first club! Looking forward to it
 
I've just added up all the golfing days I've got booked midweek for this year and it's sitting at 47 currently, add to that my club weekend comps & weekend social golf and I'm starting at a base figure of about 100 for 2016 without the odd extra midweek impulse round, well it is # YOTF 👍😎⛳️🏌

Bit of a mix. We get loads of press trip invites and Rob sweeps up I'd say 50% of them. India Kenya Morocco Portugal Cyprus all fell into that category then I ask him to go and look at top 100 courses/contenders etc and he also does a load off his own back with friends from his club
 
Never kept a record on how many rounds I play a year, but with using Game Golf for a while and playing today I noticed I have played 109 Rounds in 2015 or just over twice a week, no idea if this is low, average or excessive.
So, How many rounds did you play in 2015?

Since I retired I have played 3 or 4 rounds a week, so at least 150 rounds and probably more than that, but I haven't counted.

Cheers Mike, sounds like a crackin job, one of those jobs that probably appeals more than the reality, loads of us on here would like his job, but the novelty of travelling can certainly wear off.
 
Not nearly enough times to justify my membership subs. But hey ho. I pay to be a member for more than just playing full rounds - and as I don't drink or smoke my Mrs allows me that luxury.
