Happy 2026! The first post for Daily Scorecard starting with where it all started. @TheHomeofGolf I had the good fortune to play the Old Course twice and had @caddiegolftours alongside for both trips around. What an experience!

1,879
To Central Illinois and Snag Creek GC. For 50 years the family-owned course near Peoria provided farmland golfers the opportunity to play until the course was sold and the land returned to growing crops.
18
To south central Pennsylvania and what's now known as Bridgewater GC -- but this course opened as Springwood and that's what this card shows -- today the course in York is nine holes with an adjacent housing development.
21
To the Sierra Mountains in Northern California for the GC at Whitehawk Ranch. The Dick Bailey design opened 30 years ago. With winter snows on the way -- the number of days left this season is just a few. Located about an hour north of Lake Tahoe
59
Back to Southwestern Michigan and Wuskowhan Players Club. The Rick Smith/Warren Henderson Design is a private -- golf only -- club very close to Lake Michigan and not too far from Grand Rapids. Host to @MIAA1888 Jamboree Tourney. Team event won this year by @TrineAthletics
22
To Near San Diego and @nationalcitygc It's a nine-holer in a high-density area. Making it a wonderful refuge and a target for development. Those forces came to a head earlier this year when city leaders decided to renew a lease for another five years of golf. $8/round for kids
25
To Texas and what is now known as Duck Creek GC. The Michael Hurdzan design opened as Oakridge CC and the public course flows through the neighborhood of the same name. @VisitGarlandTX
21
To Southwestern Michigan and @Heritage_GlenGC in a forest near the village of Paw Paw. Not too far from Kalamazoo. It's a Jerry Matthews design that "will remain open as long as the weather will allow"
28
To the mountains of Quebec for the Gray Rocks GC. The OG of the @MontTremblant golf scene. It gave way to the developer's bulldozer a few years ago. Thankfully new golf courses have been added to this resort area in recent years. But those are closing for... ❄️🌨️☃️⛷️❄️🌨️☃️
21
To Massachusetts and the Ridder Farm GC south of Boston. The Geoff Cornish design was a dairy farm before its golf conversion. 60+ years on it's still going strong. But based on all of the OB warnings on the scorecard don't play here with a going hook! 🤒🤒
16
Happy Birthday @garyplayer Winner of the 1965 @usopengolf at Bellerive CC in St. Louis. The only US Open at BCC and Player's only win in the event. But what a record -- having made the cut in his first 22 playings. Thank you to Mr. Player for signing this scorecard for me.

Wrapping up 2026 Pops & Son trip to Appalachia with one last post from SW Virginia. Draper Valley GC is off I-81 and not far from Radford. Shout out to the public course for hosting @RadfordWGolf & @RadfordMGolf Good solid test and in excellent shape. Lots of deer too!
28
Another Virginia round with Dad in our golf-about through Appalachia -- This one at the Tazewell County CC -- Huge Shout out to Mr. Bryce and Mr. Henry for hosting us. TCCC celebrates 100 years in 2027 and the course is in fantastic shape. A real treat to be there.
26
Back to SW Virginia & @GateCityVA -- home of Scott County Park GC. The round starts at the top of the mountain. Then it's nine holes down and up the slope. The welcoming sign next to the high school notes it's the hometown of slam dunk b-ball star @McclungMac @gcfbprepostgame
38
To Eastern Kentucky and the Raven Rock GC. Located in Jenkins --just across the VA state line-- the land was once a strip mine -- but was repurposed into today's beautiful golf course. #1 is a par 3 that grabs your attention. The last photo is my dad teeing off on the back nine.

26
Back to Bristol but this time on the Virginia side for Clear Creek GC. It's a @CityofBristolVA muni with nice greens. The last image here is the photo I took of Dad walking up to #8 green along Clear Creek Lake. #17 is a can't forget par 4 that drops straight down the mountain
23
To far Eastern Tennessee and the Tri Cities GC (The 3 cities are Bristol, Kingsport & Johnson City) 27 Holes here. The Pines 9 has some very difficult greens that play much smaller. All greens are in excellent shape. Course is very close to @ItsBristolBaby Speedway.
41
To the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina and the Roaring Gap Club in Banner Elk. The last image is a photo I took a couple of days ago from the clubhouse looking past the 18th green to the mountains beyond. What a view! It's a Donald Ross gem with a Kris Spence refresh.

I goofed on my geography a bit. Roaring Gap Club is in...ahem...Roaring Gap. Not sure how I put it in Banner Elk. Another beautiful mountain spot -- but totally different location. #mulligan

One more day in the Blue Ridge Mountains in Western North Carolina. This post is Old Beau GC. I don't know of an inland course I've played with more spectacular views. The last pic is one I took of my Dad on the par 3 14th. 148 yards to hole w/ 50+ Miles of views.
27
The wonderful Chi Chi Rodriguez born otd 1935. His namesake course @ChiChiGolfClub in Clearwater, Florida is more than golf. It is home to @ChiChiAcademy which uses golf as a vehicle to help thousands of @my_pcs kids learn about life. #thatsalegacy
