One of the great benefits to participation in an online golf forum, is the opportunity to meet like-minded people from around the globe. We met Cory Lewis on the Golf Club Atlas architecture forum<\/strong><\/a>, and had the opportunity to visit him (and even rent a room from him!) on trips to Pinehurst. Cory is an old soul, and a collector of golf courses. He has a Pictaram<\/strong><\/a> (http:\/\/www.thepictaram.club\/instagram\/clewisgolf) and a blog<\/strong><\/a> (http:\/\/2000golfcourses.blogspot.com\/) that detail his journey to 1K, 2K and maybe even 3K golf courses. He is a man of the people, will play any golf course around, and man, is he fast! Here is his interview with BuffaloGolfer.Com <\/p>\n

1. Introduce yourself to us, telling us whatever you feel we need to know about your profession.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have been working in the golf industry for the past 19 years.  I am currently the Head Golf Professional at Little River Golf & Resort in the Pinehurst area.  I have lived in North Carolina since 2010.  In my career I have worked at 10 golf courses in 7 states and 1 PGA Section office.<\/p>\n

2. How did you find golf, and where did it take you through, say, the age of 25?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My father taught me the game of golf at an early age and I owe my love of the game to him.  I started playing in junior tournaments around the state of Virginia when I was 13.   My love for traveling to play golf courses began with my father taking me to Pebble Beach when I was 15, Scotland when I was 17, and Ireland when I was 19. <\/p>\n

When it came time to go to college, I chose to enroll in Campbell University in North Carolina for their Professional Golf Management Program.  At Campbell, one of my internships was at Crosswater in Sunriver, Oregon.  I drove across the country for the job and I remember it as the best summer of my life.  I saw parts of the country I had only dreamed about seeing.<\/p>\n

My first job after graduation was as an assistant at a private club in Northern Virginia, soon after that I accepted a job as tournament director for the Northeastern New York PGA Section in Albany and that is really where my desire to play many golf courses began.   Even though I only worked in Albany for one year, I took full advantage of the fact that I was less than three hours drive from the golf hotbeds of New York City, Boston, and Long Island. <\/p>\n

After New York, I had the privilege of working at Beechtree Golf Club in Maryland.  I again took full advantage of being near the golf rich area of Philadelphia and played as many golf courses as I could in the Philadelphia area during my two years at Beechtree.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

3. You’re on a quest to play 2000 courses, something we can read about on your blog. Can you do a little math on the arc of this journey?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have played in 47 States, all except Alaska, Hawaii & Maine.<\/p>\n

I played my first golf course when I was 10, my 150th when I was 20, my 500th when I was 26, my 1000th when I was 31.  Currently at 1380 at 37 years of age<\/p>\n

Most courses I played in a year so far is 128.<\/p>\n

Most states I played in one year so far is 26.<\/p>\n

I have played 3 golf courses in one day 129 times, and 4 courses in one day 4 times.<\/p>\n

Total holes so far:  24,480<\/p>\n

4. You knock off new courses in chunks. How do you pick your spots?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I begin with trying to play every golf course within 50 miles of where I am currently living.  I have been fortunate to live in some places with hundreds of golf courses within a few hours drive like Philadelphia, New York, Northern Virginia, and North Carolina.  The timing of my moving to NC in 2010 was convenient because I had just about played every course within 50 miles of where I was living in Wilmington, Delaware. <\/p>\n

When I take a golf trip, I always try to go places where I can easily play two or three courses each day.  For my upcoming trip to Maine I will be playing 22 golf courses in 9 days.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

5. What places have offered the best surprises?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Meadow Club in Northern California was the best surprise.  It was the 1st course my dad and I played on our Northern California trip.  I remember driving on this road that seemed to go into the middle of nowhere and arriving at this beautiful place in a valley.  The Alister Mackenzie course was restored by Mike DeVries and he did an amazing job of recapturing the wild Mackenzie greens and artistic bunkering.<\/p>\n

Aiken Golf Club in Aiken, South Carolina near Augusta was another wonderful surprise.  The course is under 6000 yards but is a great design and has tons of charm.  It\u2019s the type of course where just being there makes you feel good.<\/p>\n

6. Where haven’t you visited, that you have on your radar? (Editor’s Note: western New York is lovely in the summer and fall.)<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of my goals is to play every course designed by Donald Ross.  In order to complete this goal I will need to make several trips to New England, Ohio, and Michigan over the next several years.  Western New York will also be a future destination as I still need to play Wanakah, Brook-Lea, CC of Rochester, Irondequoit, Kahkwa, Chautaugua, Bellevue, Mark Twain, Thendera, & Teugega. (Editor’s Note:<\/strong> Wanakah was revealed to instead be a William Watson course, but we still want Cory to visit!<\/em>)<\/p>\n

I am very excited to travel to Maine for the first time this summer.  Other places I haven\u2019t been that are on the horizon are Lake Tahoe, Canadian Rockies, Kansas City, Salt Lake City, and Branson.<\/p>\n

I hope to return to the UK and travel to Australia\/New Zealand at some point in my life but it will take at least 15 more years of saving to accomplish this.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

7. We’re told that those who blink, miss your swing. How did you develop such a blazing routine and what do you recommend about it to the average golfer?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Growing up my routine was very different.  My psychologist father helped me develop a routine where I stood behind the ball, visualized the shot, approached the ball, took a practice swing, stepped over the ball, looked at the target, and hit.  As I matured I found that I liked to do everything fast, walking, talking, thinking, so it happened that my routine on the golf course also sped up.   As a kid I also witnessed so many people playing slow and my father was always insistent about playing ready golf.<\/p>\n

What I would say to the average golfer is that it is never too early to start thinking about the next shot.  I am able to play so quickly because I am thinking about the next shot well before I reach the ball.  I already know the approximate yardage, I know my target, and I know the type of shot I want to hit.  I do take my time on the putting green to read putts, but on the course I am always thinking about the next shot well before I reach the ball.<\/p>\n

8. Our money is on you to hit 2000 before you turn 50. Will you press on for 2500?<\/strong><\/p>\n

If I keep my current pace of approximately 100 courses per year, I should hit 2000 around the age of 45.  If I do this, I see 3000 as a realistic possibility assuming I stay relatively healthy for the rest of my life.  My pace will obviously slow down and to make it easier I would need to move to someplace with a heavy volume of courses like Florida, Texas, Arizona, or California but I think by the time I reach my 70\u2019s I will make it to 3000 even if I stay in North Carolina.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

9. What question haven’t we asked, that you would love to answer? Ask it and answer it, please.<\/strong><\/p>\n

How did you go about choosing your 1000th golf course?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

As I was approaching my 1000th golf course played a friend jokingly said to me that the only course I should play for #1000 was Pine Valley, the consensus #1 ranked golf course on the planet.  We laughed about it at the time but I decided it wouldn\u2019t hurt to try.  When I worked in the Philadelphia area, I met and played golf with a gentleman who became a member of Pine Valley after I moved to North Carolina.  I hadn\u2019t spoken to him in a few years but I figured it wouldn\u2019t hurt to get in touch.  Through the wonders of the internet, I was able to find his office address and wrote him a letter.  To my shock when I followed up with him, he said that he would love to help and we were able to get it scheduled (see above!<\/strong><\/em>)<\/p>\n<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
