Lion, like I've said before, you are a man to be reckoned with. I can't seem to finish out my own state. As soon as I get real close, someone builds a new course six hours away. I'm currently four short but will try to get them in June and July. I also can't match your west coast totals, I stand at 364 for Washington, Oregon and Cali. California is such a huge state and there so many courses at little Christian camps up at the end of dirt roads. And they seem to add at least a course every 2-3 weeks. Good luck getting to 1000.
When this thread starter I probably had around 25 courses played. Now I have:
730 total courses (20 private, temp, or tourney courses)
710 on DGCR
44 states played
343 in the state of California (over 350 if you count private courses)
400+ along the west coast (cali, Oregon, Washington)
1 country played
400+ in the South West States (Cali, Nevada, Arizona)
20 or less Courses left to play currently in a 500 mile radius on my Zip code.
I really need to move but will probably be stuck in California for ever. I've played almost everything by me. I do have a summer trip planned to play another 20-30 courses along the coast and into Canada so I will get another country and probably another 5-8 California courses along with 10-15 Oregeon, 1-5 in Washington, and 1-3 in Canada. I plan to finish the year at over 750 courses on DGCR so that's over 770 for me personally. Might try to complete Arizona and Nevada again, I once had those states done (all courses played). Cali once to many years ago but with all the private courses and camps its tough to travel and get on those courses these days.I usually try to play 50 courses new a year, So with that beginning said I should break a 1000 courses around 2022. I hope sooner then later.
