Stemming from Mac's recent thread, someone made the comment that most of the folks on here generally play average courses.  

Sven,

I'm going to go out on a limb after these past 4 pages and say that whoever made the comment that "folks on here generally play average courses" was mistaken.

Or perhaps those that do play average courses have no interest in posting with these lists that seem to all include the best courses in the country.

[Ben Sims]

Mark,

I would hope that people on this site aren't posting their last ten to boast.  Surely we have more intellectual integrity than that!   

[Sean Leary]

Burr,

Just that you played some good courses that have serious quirk (a good thing).

[Fred Gray]

Ben,

Sadly for most of us, while great courses are in our last 10 courses played, I expect great courses make up less than 20% of our last 100 rounds played.

I, like many here I expect, have played some great courses is the last 10 courses but of the last 100 rounds only about 5 have been on truely great courses.

Happily there are no bad courses on my list and I would expect 85 of my last 100 rounds were on above average courses. Sadly, I do not get to play TOC or North Berwick every week.

Ben,

I actually posted my last ten courses played according to my handicap posts (plus three rounds which were part of an all day match-play match with friends). What I've lacked in quantity (my ten date back to May I believe) this year I've certainly made up in quality as I've been exploring my new home state. Lots and lots of interesting and solid golf courses up here in Minnesota.

So no, I wasn't trying to boast a la the idiotic "whip it out" thread, however to prove the point of a wise, long time GCA poster when he said his motto is "life is too short to play bad golf courses"
