Augustine Golf Club The Logo Ball Traveler site had its beginnings due to my Quest to play every golf course that has ever made an appearance on Golf Magazine's biennial "Top 100 You Can Play" list. On this list have been 202 courses since first published in 1996. An important consideration of my 2014 Spring Trip was to play the remaining Virginia courses on the list. Augustine Golf Club in Stafford, VA was one of the five I intended to play. But it almost didn't work out.
My road schedule called for a Sunday morning tee time on April 6. But when I first inquired in late February, I was told by Augustine's Head Golf Professional, Dave Finocchiaro that play would be open on a limited basis (four tee times for 16 members only) that morning due to one of the club's largest outings of the year that afternoon. The course had to be clear for a shotgun start. Of course, I asked Dave to consider me for one of the 16 slots if by chance, the tee times were not filled. Dave asked me to call back April 1 to see if my request could be accommodated. As it turned out, I was in luck and Augustine became the 155th course I've played from the list.
