After my previous post Golf Courses of the Majors and during the recent Masters tournament I asked the question on the microblogging platform Twitter;
Which “Major” golf courses have you played? Me, Royal Lytham & Royal Liverpool (Hoylake) http://RTlinks.com/946d2765
and got a great response with Pebble Beach, Carnoustie and St Andrews being the most popular.

In true golfer style we even got a claim for The Players Championship to be counted as the fifth Major! Nice one Sergio I mean @mchamberlin

http://twitter.com/mchamberlin - “Does TPC at Sawgrass count? They sometimes call it the fifth major, right?”

and I wonder if @davechen has qualified for the US Open this year?

http://twitter.com/davechen - “haven’t played any major course yet, but I should be playing Congressional some time soon.”

My twitter profile is http://twitter.com/greenfee look me up and twit some golf with me, if you haven’t got a clue what I’m talking about this link should help you out.

* I don’t think these courses have held a Major but they may go under a different name. Did you know that 114 different golf courses have held “Majors” for the full list on the free download go here.

It would be great to hear comments, courses played and twitter username below and I’ll be happy to include them.

Undertaking some research I was doing into golf courses that have held golf’s Major championships I was amazed at the number and variety of different courses that have held The United States Open Championship, The Open Championship and the PGA Championship, though, obviously The Masters has only ever been held at Augusta National GC.
As I got more into the research I decided to put together a document with links to all the websites of the different golf courses and links to the players that won there. It is fully searchable by year, winner, course and championship and I’ve had great fun playing around and learning more about the history of our game and the golfers who have a “Major” to their name, many of whom I was unfamiliar with.

The document is available free for you to download just click here or on the cover of the book. I hope you find the data as fascinating as I have.
