StrokerAce Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Hi everyone... I'm Jason from Franklin Massachusetts (home of the nation's first public library!) I play weekly in a 9 hole scramble league at work. It's a lot of fun, but playing best ball sometimes screws up my game so I try to get out and play 18 as often as I can. Golf is expensive in Massachusetts! So I usually try and take a day off during the week to play a round. I always like to walk and my theory is that you can never have a bad day on the course because of the beautiful walk. I've been playing on and off for about 15 years and have never had a lesson. Through trial-and-error, tinkering, helpful advice and research I've been able to get my hcp down to about 12. My lowest round was 81 (last year) and I shot 82 a couple of days ago. I'm desperate to break 80 and used to shoot in the 90's so I know it can be done... Love all things golf and looking forward to checking out more of the forums.

StrokerAce Posted June 27, 2016 Author Share Posted June 27, 2016 Where do you play Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy mobile app I've played in a lot of places ... On Saturday I played at Glen Ellen in Millis ... 30 dollars after 3:00 and the course was pretty empty. I like New England CC but my favorite, affordable course is Blissful Meadows. I've been able to play at Franklin CC due to some friends having memberships and that place is pristine!

3puttpaul Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I haven't played Glen Ellen in years. I thought it was closed! I'm not a fan of New England CC but Blissful Meadows is really nice.

StrokerAce Posted June 27, 2016 Author Share Posted June 27, 2016 Thanks... always looking for new places to try! I thought glen ellen was in pretty good shape. They've really cleaned it up. The greens rolled pretty well, tee boxes & fairways were in good condition too. Certainly not a challenging course and a bit boring on some of the holes, but it's pretty inexpensive and relatively close. I try not to drive more than 1 hour to play and have been pretty successful in finding public/semi-private places.

Dana Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Hi Jason Welcome to My Golf Spy, I was in Franklin 2 weeks ago looking at a job. I played Blissful Meadows quite a few years ago, nice course.
