Question: after playing Ireland, Scotland, and the U.S. What are the 5 or so courses he’d want to go back and play again? Not what are the best, but the ones he’d want to go back and forth with experience one more time and why?

What state best represents having great golf courses but terrible everything else (people, weather, food, other activities, etc)

Best turnstand food in the US?

That’s a great question. Curious about what course in general had the best/quirkiest/unexpected food stuffs.

Here’s a couple of possible questions for Tom:

  • What course did you play that surprised you the most compared to any preconceptions you had before playing it? Could be good or bad.

  • How have your travels while writing these books evolved your overall approach to golf, if at all? For example, when driving to the course on a given day, what are you most looking forward to or thinking about - your game, the course architecture and its surroundings, your playing partners, etc?

Please detonate Garden City Men’s Club

This isn’t really a question

I’m about 2/3rds through the book, and loving it, so maybe this gets addressed but a question I have is:
What area(s), if any, of the country pleasantly surprised you enough to say “If I didn’t live in Philly I could live here”?

If you could only play one course for the rest of your life in the US what would it be?

What is the best hole you have played in the US?

I wonder if he has any that stunk, or were boring that he wants to play again. The “worst” track he played but absolutely wants to go back because now it haunts him in a good way. Maybe his mood was off, maybe the weather stunk.

E.g. I absolutely would love to go back and play Ft Leonard Wood GC. It was nothing special AT ALL, but I want to play it badly, 30 years later

Knowing Tom, and your get-down here @JohnnyPanton, this says more about your friend than Tom, to me at least. But c’est la vie. Have a great Sunday.

Thank you for the great Sunday wishes. Knowing my friend, I’ll trust him. But thank you for your snarky comment.

Sure thing. Probably more than your “contribution” here merited.

So heaping praise on someone is encouraged but engaging in legitimate criticism is not. I see. Thank you for what you do.

“Legitimate criticism”

I’ll repeat my genuine sentiment—your story says more about your friend, to me, than it does Tom. Maybe others will want to engage your “legitimate criticism” here—I think it’s sophomoric at best. An unnecessary turd in a punch bowl. But again, that’s kind of your get-down.
