Looking forward to finally seeing the number 1 and 2 courses in the world this year.

(sorry - had to gloat )

Trump? 

[Criss Titschinger]

Taking my daughter, now 3.5 years old, along for Saturday afternoon cart rides; preferably while golfing. Playing better in front of people. Especially GCA events. New Sticks. Loving the PING G30 line.

Oh, architecturally...

Doing the Ocean City NJ family trip again, which allows me 2 rounds. Looking to do Hidden Creek and Greate Bay this go round. Hit up some Indianapolis and Columbus courses as time and access allow. 5th Major unlikely. Hoping for Midwest Mashie redemption.

"It's easy to grin
when your ship comes in
and you've got the stock market beat.
But the man worthwhile
is the man who can smile
when his shorts are too tight in the seat"

[JReese]

Point O'Woods, Ravisloe, Warren, Lincolnshire, Flossmoor, Streamsong Red & Blue, Brickyard Crossing during time trials.....if I hit up half of these will have been a solid year.

[Ross Harmon]

I've again got high hopes for the year, I think this list is fairly doable though... Augusta National (as a Masters patron), St Louis CC, Bellerive, Culver Academies (remodel), Bandon Preserve, The Country Club, Kittansett, Charles River, Old Sandwich, Punta Espada (since Matt Schulte says it's the best ).

[Tom Birkert]

My most important wish is that my second child (due in May) is born healthy. That above everything else.

I don't know if I'll be able to continue my travels this year, so if I'm not able to make it over to America then I'll try and do some of the courses I shamefully haven't played in the UK (Royal County Down in particular).

If I am able to make it to the US, then Fisher's Island is right at the top of my list, closely followed by LACC, Crystal Downs and Sand Hills - though those are more of a trek to get to.

I also hope to be able to meet and host more visitors to the London area, unfortunately work and family has made this more difficult in recent times.

[Ian Andrew]

My two sons are grown up, one is busy with his friends and the other is away working in Turkey and all of a sudden I have time.
So …. my wish is to find the “patience” and commitment to play every week throughout the year.

For a decade now I have played all my golf out of country.
My wish is to play more rounds withing two hours drive of home.

[Ken Moum]

Well.... Since my wife and are spending 6 weeks in Scotland starting mid-May, I'm hoping my reapp for TOC is successful (I really really.want to play it again).

We have a friend with us the first three weeks. One week in East Lothian, one in Fife, one in Golspie.

Then we go to Nairn for a week.... planning to head SW after that.

So, other than replays, I'm hoping to see Crail, Macrihanish, Durness, Royal Duff House, Strathlene, and ......

Must-see replays include Dunbar, N.  Berwick , TOC, Elie, Kingarrock, Fraserburgh, Dornoch, Golspie. 

Not on other people's list that my wife and I like: Cullen, Nairn Dunbar, Tain...

My 2015 wish list

Boston:
- Salem
- Worcester
- Wannamoisett

Sand Hills

Friars Head (I haven't played there since 2006, when I was 15)

Garden City (my memory of it from my only round is foggy)

[Sam Krume]

Wish list for 2015.
Back down to the West Country (UK) to play an all time favourite (Perranporth) once again and enjoy all those others on that wonderful stretch of coast line. North west coast of Ireland is also a must followed by a return visit to Royal County Down

[David Davis]

As always I'm a really late planner, but I've started the dreaming which usually turns out in the end (somehow).

March:

Royal Birkdale
Hillside
Royal Liverpool
Formby
Royal Lythem

Then a few hours North

Renaissance Club
Castle Course (have to see what a Doak 0 looks like)
Trump International - maybe though I might be stretching it in terms of driving on this trip.
Turnberry - must see it before it goes under the knife.
Troon
Prestwick
Machrihanish

That's my warm up for national competition.

Then looking at a couple weekends away -

Hamburger Falkenstein - maybe Budersand

Ideally throwing in a weekend in Spain to see Valderrama.

September - October:

USA trip - not firmed up but aim would be to do a bit of a hop in hop out type of trip including:

Pinehurst
Kiawah Island
Seminole
Crystal Downs
Chicago Golf
Butler National
Prairie Dunes

Maybe on my to Oregon to visit my mom.

No comments please I know the geographic implications of such a trip and I know that some of those areas have tons of excellent golf to see. But time and resources won't allow extensive trips to each area. What would you expect from a guy from Oregon living in Amsterdam and commuting to work in Munich weekly 1000 km away.

Likely I may focus on two areas and skip some of the stragglers. ie. Prairie Dunes (saving it for another 5th Major visit some day) and perhaps Seminole saving it for an excuse to take my girlfriend to the beach.

Then there is that trip I need to plan to Tennessee.

...and I have Japan floating in the mist.

March on the other hand I already booked the tickets/rental car for, just have to arrange the golf but I'm meditating on it.

[Mark_Rowlinson]

Sean, I should be very happy to meet up with you at Welshpool and Llanymynech if it's possible. If you can extend the journey north slightly I'm going tom suggest also throwing in Holywell.

[Chris Luce]

Golf with the nephews at Sea Pines, hopefully a first visit to Bandon, and piggyback some work trips into rounds at Lawsonia and Rustic Canyon.

[Jason Kang]

I am hoping to work in a summer trip to Erie, PA for a round(s) at the Kahkwa Club with my father-in-law, who only occasionally plays anymore, and his buddies.  If one searches for mention of Kahkwa on GCA, a certain esteemed architect thinks highly of its greens, which on this site appears to be tantamount to Gospel. 

A day out at Kahkwa with the members is a walking golf treat.     

[George Freeman]

Greywalls, Warren Course, Black Forest, Olympia Fields South, Diamond Springs, Pilgrims Run, French Lick Ross, Quail Crossing, Culver Academy, West Bend, Blue Mound, Blythefield, Ozaukee, Maxinkuckee...

Jud - let me know when you head to Culver. It's been on my list forever. Looks like a museum piece.

[Eric Smith]

Visiting family in Sweden and the UK this summer with an eye toward playing a round or two while I'm there. Falsterbo and Sunningdale are the most likely candidates at this point.
