In July 2006 I embarked on quite the adventure, which turned out to be a 76 day road trip in which I played golf in each of the 48 contiguous states while raising money for the National Breast Cancer Foundation. Below are some of the statistics I pulled together from my trip, as well as links to the courses I played in each state. At the bottom of the list I’ve also added in a couple links to the golf courses I played in 2010 when I visited Alaska and Hawaii in order to finish off the final two states.
