What’s something you collect anytime you visit an extra special golf course?
By Taft Gantt · March 24, 2021
If you’re an average golfer playing an above-average golf course, you usually don’t walk away empty-handed. Whether that’s stopping by the pro shop or pocketing your scorecard, every golfer has their way of remembering where they’ve played.
Recently on @CaddieNetork Twitter, we asked our followers to share what they collect when visiting an extra special golf course. Here are our favorites responses. To follow – or add – to the thread, click here.
