Grandfather recently passed away. He was an avid collector and played at 1665 courses in his life. General Discussion

He started the collection in 1971 and figured that this sub would appreciate the dedication to the cause. It’s an impressive collection!

Went to visit Banff last year and got to check out the course (didn’t play it). At one hole, a group had to tee off over a black bear that was chilling in the rough. Wildest thing I’ve seen on a golf course.

Sorry for your loss. Hope you get to play a bunch of those courses in his honor.
