A Quest to Play Them All
A Maine couple takes on all of Maine’s golf courses
By Rick and Sara Barry

Mark Twain famously said, “Golf is a good walk spoiled.” No disrespect to Mr. Twain (because maybe he had just shanked an approach shot), but we’d have to disagree.

Golf brought us together as a couple many years ago; it’s our shared passion. We even played golf on our wedding day in Hawaii, dipping our toes in sand in the morning (with golf shoes on) and then again at sunset (barefoot). We consider ourselves average golfers (Rick’s handicap is 14, Sara’s is 18); both of us optimistic and realistic when we hit a new course (it’s why we’re not opposed to taking a mulligan now and then but only if people aren’t waiting behind us).

We enjoy golf and traveling so much that we set out on a mission to play every Maine course. It took us more than eight years of long weekends and vacations to accomplish our goal; we played all 147 courses (135 public, 12 private, 68-18 hole, and 79-nine hole)*. We travelled 23,000 miles, visiting every corner of Maine. 
We’d like to share a few highlights and special memories of our adventures so that other golfers can learn about some of our state’s amazing golf courses, and a few gems that should not be missed. We hope we can entice you to travel Maine to enjoy more golf!
"Strengthen today's game, launch tomorrow's, and lead the collective effort to grow golf in Maine."
