580 Rounds in 365 Days: The RGV Tour 2.0 with Patrick Koenig

Can you imagine playing 1.6 rounds of golf every single day for an entire year?

On this episode of the Imagen Golf Podcast, Daniel Guest sits down with golf photographer and world record holder Patrick Koenig. In 2023, Patrick embarked on the RGV Tour 2.0 with a singular mission: to break the world record for the most 18-hole golf courses played in a single year. He didn't just break the record—he shattered it, completing an astonishing 580 rounds in 365 days.

Patrick shares the gritty reality behind the glamorous photos, discussing the physical toll of walking over 1,500 miles, the logistical nightmare of navigating an RV through 41 states, and the mental shift required to keep swinging.

In this episode, we cover:

• The Physical Grind: How Patrick’s body survived the "ultra-marathon" of golf and why swinging at 80% was his secret weapon against injury.
• Logistics & Life on the Road: The reality of living in a Recreational Vehicle (RGV) and coordinating 580 tee times without a support team.
• The Mental Game: What playing every day taught Patrick about detaching from bad shots and finding true "flow" on the course.
• Hidden Gems: Patrick reveals the sleeper courses that blew him away (including a standout in Nebraska that you need to play).
• The Photography: How the camera kept him present and prevented burnout during the tour.

Whether you're a weekend warrior or a golf addict, Patrick’s story is a testament to endurance, passion, and the pure joy of the game. Tune in to hear how he turned a crazy idea into history.
