And, believe it or not, I once thought that too&#8230;at least for a period of time. <\/p>\n<p>As some of you may know, I&#8217;ve played many, many different golf courses in my 20+ years on the links (including <a href=\"http:\/\/golfstinks.blogspot.com\/2011\/05\/quest-to-play-every-golf-course-in-my.html\">my quest to play all the public 18-holers in my state<\/a>). But after you play so many, they tend to mesh together in your mind like a hodgepodge of flag sticks, sand traps, ponds and grass.<\/p>\n<p>When you&#8217;re new to the game of golf, typically you frequent one course that you feel comfortable on. And that level of comfort pretty much keeps you loyal until the day a golfing buddy invites you to play somewhere else. Going to that &#8220;new&#8221; course can be exciting and it will seem like everything is different &#8211; the scenery, the layout, all of it.<\/p>\n<p>And in reality, it <i>was<\/i> all different. But then you play a another course and another and before you know it, they all start to look similar. Well, after playing at all these different places, I developed a problem:<\/p>\n<p>If a person mentioned a particular course to me, I would quickly tell them, &#8220;Oh, I&#8217;ve played there and it was decent.&#8221; When they&#8217;d follow-up with, &#8220;What did you like about it?&#8221; I would hesitate. I couldn&#8217;t, for the life of me, remember any details of said course! I would try to remember &#8211; I&#8217;d think of a particular par 3 with a pond and 30 par 3&#8217;s with ponds rushed into my mind. <\/p>\n<p>So what did I do? Were all those courses I experienced &#8211; that I spent my hard-earned money on &#8211; lost somewhere in that vast (and mostly empty) noggin of mine? I prayed not. The solution? I began writing reviews for each course &#8211; complete with my own rating system &#8211; which seemed to jog the old memory!<\/p>\n<p>Much of that system is still intact and can be found on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.golfstinks.com\/\">golfstinks.com<\/a> &#8211; except now I&#8217;ve gotten your input too. If you took the survey (see the results <a href=\"http:\/\/golfstinks.blogspot.com\/2011\/03\/analysis-what-makes-golf-course-great.html\">HERE<\/a>), you had a say in how the rating system should work. I know there are more of you out there &#8211; golfers that love playing at different courses. Well, you&#8217;ll never have to forget the details again &#8211; just rate and post a review for any of the thousands of courses in our database.<\/p>\n<p>But, shameless plug aside, I think I&#8217;ve come full-circle. When I first started golfing, every course I played was unique. Then, eventually, one track bled into another. And now, I&#8217;ve learned to take notice, appreciate and file-away the idiosyncrasies of each place I visit. <\/p>\n<p>I once penned <a href=\"http:\/\/golfstinks.blogspot.com\/2009\/12\/why-golf-is-unique.html\">an entire post on why golf is unique<\/a> compared to the other sports &#8211; and one of the biggest reasons is no two courses are exactly alike. Think about that for a second. Football fields (both American and European) conform to exact specifications; baseball diamonds and hockey rinks do too. But not golf &#8211; every single course is unique to itself. <\/p>\n<p>Of course, I knew this all along. But it sure is fun remembering it all over again! So don&#8217;t just play golf&#8230;experience it. Travel, discover and enjoy &#8211; even if it&#8217;s just to the course in the next county over.<\/span><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To all you non-golfers; It may appear on TV that all golf courses are the same.
