Modfan2 Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Golf season is underway in New England; got my first 18 in yesterday at the Raceway Course in Thompson CT; surprised how dry the course was for early May. A little breezy but a great day nonetheless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreaves Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 After 20+ years as a member at my old course, I moved to a new one this year. It was a difficult decision. The old place had been member owned and I had been president. Tropical Storm Irene did a number on us and set us on a downward financial spiral, culminating in us selling to a private owner in 2020. I’m glad he’s kept it as a golf course but I don’t like the direction so it was time to move. The new place is 18 holes instead of 9 and you can’t beat the views. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always prefer an 18 hole course over 9, no matter how nice the 9 are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisrotary12 Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Finding the time to play golf with a 1 yr is a challenge. 9 holes each Monday afternoon as part of a league. Only 2 rounds of 18 this year. Played Passaconaway in Litchfield, NH this past Friday AM. Neighbor & I teed off at 5:55 as first 2 off. Finished at 8:30 while walking. +8 79 with 7 bogeys, 1 triple, 2 birdies 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreaves Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Starting to hit the ball a bit more consistently but I’m struggling off the tee with my irons on par 3s. I’ll start doing that better and then something else will go away. I’m still trying to learn the greens at my new course. Hopefully that comes with time. The weather looks tough at the PGA today. May keep scores in check. Scheffler is playing well. I sort of like the Canadian, Connors. I think Rory making birdie on 18 to get to even could be big for him.

OceanStWx Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 First 18 of the year in the books. 2 birdies and still shot an 88. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreaves Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 I joined an 18 hole course for the first time this year, I still haven’t played 18. Lol. I guess I’m just used to my schedule, going over after work and playing. It’s just always works out that way. I assume at some point I’ll start getting 18 in at least once a week.

Chrisrotary12 Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Played Overlook in Hollis, NH last two days: +1 & +7. The four 9s were: +3, -2, +8, -1. Guess I need to work on the front 9. (3-9 is definitely the hardest stretch) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrisrotary12 Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Played 18 at Highland Links in Truro, MA yesterday. 9 holes “links” style course from 1892. +6 76 Definitely a tricky little course for anyone who doesn’t hit it straight. Fairways are like 20 yds wide and greens are tiny. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mreaves Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 I think I’ve gotten 5 Tuesday night men’s league rounds in since the end of May and a similar number of Sunday mornings in. Couple the rain with our fours being closed for a week to host the state am and golf outings are down for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our league is on Tuesday night's. It seems as if we have had rain and storms on Tuesday a lot this year. Tonight would be fine but tomorrow looks rainy again. Same thing last week.

amarshall Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Just got back from a week in Michigan. Courses there are 1/2 to 1/3 price of Massachusetts, way better shape and MUCH harder . All muni courses have black tees. Played 4 rounds with Pilgrim Run north of Grand Rapids being the nicest course I've played in a while, public and $80. That would be $150 -200 on the South shore. (Pine Hills and Waverly are junk compared to it and $150). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
