       Show HN: In-depth photographic look at all the golf courses I play
        
       I'm an avid golfer; it's my main hobby. I decided to start taking
       pictures of all the courses I play. While there's a lot of golf
       websites out there, none of them really try to document the courses
       in depth and look at each hole, along with the course facilities
       like the practice areas. I live in Chicago and am starting with the
       courses in this area (of which there are dozens of public courses
       to play).  While I play golf, I take photos with my phone of every
       (relevant) aspect of the golf course I can think of. Then they're
       processed and organized on the website.  Obviously I'm starting
       this journey on my own, and in that sense it's not scalable. I
       won't be able to visit all the courses in the US, let alone the
       world. I hope to find others that would like to contribute to the
       effort.  At some point I'd like to add course news and histories to
       the site. Many golf courses in the US are over 100 years old and
       have rich histories. And of course many older courses exist in
       Europe.  I also have started adding descriptions/commentary for
       each hole on courses. For example, see:
       https://www.golfscout.net/golf-hole/wilmette-golf-club-wilme...
       And maybe went a little overboard on this one:
       https://www.golfscout.net/golf-hole/billy-caldwell-golf-cour...
       Anyway, it's a fun project and could go in a lot of directions. PS:
       I'm always looking to expand my golfing circle. If you're in
       Chicago and want to play sometime, hit me up -- contact details are
       on the website.
