Teeing Off

But where is Saxon Woods?

March

Golf Digest recently released its list of America’s 100 Greatest Golf Courses, with the top spot again occupied by Pine Valley in New Jersey, followed by Shinnecock Hills on Long Island and then Augusta National.

Since we’re unabashedly geocentric here on the golf blog, here’s the rundown on the local courses: Winged Foot’s West Course again is the highest ranked course in the area, checking in at No. 8, followed by neighbor Quaker Ridge (No. 33), Winged Foot’s East Course (No. 43), and finally, Hudson National in Croton-on-Hudson (No. 90).

Pathetic stat of the day: of the 100 courses on the list, I’ve played a whopping total of seven (although as a golf writer, I’ve set foot on 26 of them).

funny…the same thing happened to me once when I was travelling a lot. While I was on a practice tee talking with a player,I ooked up at a passing plane and for a moment couldn’t remember what city I was in.

It’s not so much the travel as it is that this place is largely devoid of character. Again, maybe I need to stray from the beaten path a little.
