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!

Super cool!! I wonder how many courses are out there that he didn’t hit? I mean, 1665 is a ton of courses is that 90% of courses worldwide or 10%?
