While I’ve got a full wrap-up of 2022 for WiscoGolfAddict.com already in the works, I do want to share my latest extreme endeavor ahead of time: My Top 20 Golf Experiences of 2022.
This was a very challenging process as I posted a photo and video of one of my 20 selections on Instagram each day leading up to the New Year. Taking 2-4+ hours/night, I honestly overextended myself a bit, but… Lesson learned.
It was also quite rewarding, though, releasing so much content in such a short period of time for others to read, engage with and [hopefully] enjoy.
By all accounts, 2022 was a fantastic year for the website and for me actually being able to get out and enjoy golf. While my initial list started with 50-60 memorable experiences, I was able to pare it down to just 20. I have of course second-guessed where I ranked a number of them after publishing, but trust me you get used to that when you’ve done this for as long as I have!
Without further adieu, here are my Top 20 Golf Experiences of 2022:
