I apologize for not reading and/or remembering every response in detail, but I would add that "soul" is a function of human reaction, not inanimate objects.
Thus, in my case, the soul train arrives playing a course with history, weather matching my ideal for the course, companionship. Its not hard to imagine others would include "best score" events as soulful.
Lastly, its common for a personal investment in a course. Your lifetime of membership, or even a lifetime of waiting for a tee time with friends at the local muni - build that personal investment, and invariably, that course speaks to you.
