Social media only tells a small fraction of my golf story. In my book, The United States of Golf, I was able to share the full experience of what it's like to quit your job and pursue your golf dreams. Pre sale is now open.

@SteveBurrows2 You just missed me.

Lake Shore Country Club flying right under the Chicago radar.

[Patrick Koenig @patrickjkoenig]

[Patrick Koenig @patrickjkoenig]

@GolfedApp yeah, nobody talks about it.

[Patrick Koenig @patrickjkoenig]

@mattgatchel yeah, its awesome over there. Love the seperation of the golf shop and the clubhous across the road.

One of the coolest spots north of Chicago.

A few from this week's photo shoot at @meritclub

I count 27 holes as 1 course. I count 9 hole courses as 1 course as well. Comes out pretty even. use of a 1/2 course is probably the most accurate way to do it.

[Patrick Koenig @patrickjkoenig]

Question for all of the people counting “golf courses played lifetime”

How many courses do you consider a 27 hole facility?

I only count 27 hole golf clubs as one course played.

I have a buddy that counts 27 holes as 3 courses played. I have told him that this is wrong and he needs to check himself before he wrecks himself. Please help me confirm.

@SHistorians @fnf2017 Malcolm Gladwell hates LACC and encourages everyone to “hate golf”. This same idea of extrapolating one example to an entire group of people has historically proven to be a poor approach.

[Patrick Koenig @patrickjkoenig]

@jliebertgolf I did 45 today which is also rare.

[Patrick Koenig @patrickjkoenig]

@Wheelz_84 I know! Absurdity!!

[Patrick Koenig @patrickjkoenig]

@BryanTweed16 Yes that is correct.

[Patrick Koenig @patrickjkoenig]

@Baulch This is a major achievement and you should have a plaque. I will gladly sign it. You just gotta find me first.

My daughter, Holliday, loves Golf Bum. It’s the world’s greatest coffee table book from Johnny Vacay. Get yours: https://t.co/ixzcPnwamk

Found the volcano bunker today at Chicago Highlands. Is the 60 yard bunker shot the most difficult shot in golf?

[Patrick Koenig @patrickjkoenig]

We took little Holliday to the course to work on her caddy skills.

[Patrick Koenig @patrickjkoenig]

@Top100Rick That Maxfli is solid. Do it with a 1993 Top Flite.

[Patrick Koenig @patrickjkoenig]

First time walking the fairways with Holliday. This was soooo much fun.

[Patrick Koenig @patrickjkoenig]

@YeahClickClack Sweet action.
