Once a golfer has played a certain course enough times, he or she becomes familiar with how to play the course, and after a while, the excitement of playing there may begin to wane. A new challenge is required, a new course; a course which will provide new excitement, new challenges. It is the unknown, the challenge of playing a course for the first time and using your knowledge and skills to best play the course which is a huge part of the buzz of playing golf.
