A quick friendly reminder: Please submit your courses at TGCTours.com! Course submission has been unfairly categorized in the past as some kind of popularity contest, or seen as a place only for people who want their courses used on the tour.

In my scattered playing of courses, either individually or in societies, I still enjoy writing a brief review and ranking each…
