I’m far too lazy to enter this bragging contest by actually looking up the courses and coming up with a total. Once, however, I did make a list (from my suspect memory) of the courses I played and assigned imaginary Doak numbers to each. The list is in a spreadsheet, so easy to look up and do the arithmetic. For the purpose of participating in this survey (How crazed are we?), here are my numbers:
Courses played—91
Total imaginary Doak points—446 (4.9 average)
Imaginary high/low lights—3 tens and 6 ones
Estimated courses with a Doak score—19 (7.11 average); 15 in Scotland/Ireland/N. Ireland
Estimated total Doak points—135 (from memory of reading the courses listed in the book)
Conclusions: I don’t get out much and will play anywhere/anything; I’m not as big a nutcase as I thought judging by the leaders in the clubhouse; safely out of danger of being committed or being taken seriously.
Disclamer: Only been playing avid golf as a crazy man for 15 years. Only took it up when I thought that I was too old to be any good at it and, therefore, wouldn’t become addicted to trying to get better. That didn’t work out, of course, about the addiction part, but was reasonably accurate in terms of competence.
