Pat Boston, MA Titleist ProV1 My experience with Top Flites is about as rocky as a Top Flite feels when you hit it. Whenever I find a Top Flite while playing I have to immediately hit the ball to the nearest woods or hazard, even if that means hitting a three wood perpendicular across 3 holes. Just today I found one on the practice putting green, moved it to the rough and crushed a little punchy 8 and sent that thing screaming into a tree so fast it almost needed an FAA flight plan. So why should I test these? Well if they can win me over they can win anyone over and I’m dying to be proven wrong about why Top Flites don’t deserve to grace the sacred grounds of a golf course. - Pat

I usually bring an apple and homemade trail mix of coconut chips, dried pineapple, cashews, and raisins. I eat the trail mix on the front and apple on the back. For drinks it’s water and occasionally beer or rum if I really need swing oil. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My routine group is split between Boston and Hartford now so we end up at Highfields or Shining Rock or others in that area because it is a middle point. I would be interested if anyone from here got together there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How long have you been playing golf? What’s your handicap or normal score? I’ve been playing golf for about 20 years. The past two years is the most I’ve played since being a carefree teenager in the summer. I shoot mid to high eighties and have not had an official handicap for 10+ years What do you love about golf? I love that golf is both a social and individual game to me. I am competing against myself and can spend some alone time practicing but can also play a round with some buddies and catch up and have some laughs. What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Do you already know any other Spies? I came here after Googling “how to determine your putting stroke”. I am also looking for a Boston area league to join as I am new to the city. I do not know any other spies. Where are you from? What is your home course? I live in Boston, I grew up on the Northshore. I do not have a home course yet. What are the best and worst things about golf in your region? The best things about golf are some of the older, classicly designed courses with tight fairways and small greens. The worse is the golf season is short and every February I catch an incurable golf bug which is what drew me to this site!  What do you do for a living? I do data and analytics for a software company. How’d you pick your user name? I go by Paddy and I’m living in a Boston, wicked simple, I just combined the two.
