StrokerAce Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Played at a great track called Kettle Brook in Paxton MA recently. It was a cool day with a strong breeze but the course was in fantastic shape. Apparently it was an old farm (they seem to do that a lot in New England, turn old farms into golf courses, and they left the silo in place) cksurfdude, ddryan, Rickp and 3 others 6 Quote Driver- Cobra Aerojet LS Woods- Cobra LTD 3w 15*, 5W 19*, F9 24* Irons- XXIO X (6-A) Wedges- Callaway Jaws Raw (54/58) Putter- Bettinardi BB56 Ball- Maxfli Tour X Buggy- Motocaddy M7 GPS Remote Electric Caddy Bag- Motocaddy Dry-Series Proudly testing for 2024: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrokerAce Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Played at what might be the worst bang for your buck at a course right up the street from me. This is called Maplegate and it is in bellingham, ma. I think they charge around 50 or 60 to play. I got a deal on golfnow for 15.00 - and to be honest, not sure it was worth that. I'd played it a few years ago and at least the fairways were decent. The first pic is my tee shot right down the middle of the fairway. I don't get how this can happen - I know golf courses are expensive to maintain but other courses that charge that much aren't even close to being in as bad of shape as this one...and it's been a very good summer here weather-wise. A lot of rain and sun without those brutally hot days. Second pic was the result of my approach shot from 172. The greens were just as bad.... I paid for 18 but didn't play the back because of the weather and I don't think I missed much. Sad thing is this course used to be really nice and it is a fun track to play.

cksurfdude Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Not sure what the craziest animal you've seen on the golf course is but this was a new one for me. Played in Rhode Island on Labor Day and about the 4th hole these 3 roosters (apparently the red ones are called Rhode Island reds) came walking right up to us. They jumped up into the cart and came right at the guys I was playing with. The 3 of them are city boys and they ran like a couple of... chickens (haha)... Buddy I was with tossed them some nuts and they wouldn't leave us alone for the next couple holes. Gotta say - these were the most aggressive roosters I've seen in a while! IMG_20170904_100807387.jpg IMG_20170904_100717217_HDR.jpg Couldn't get my phone and get a pic in time but there was a fox just behind the green on #9 where we played recently stalking some birds on the ground. He spooked them, not me, but he looked at me .. possibly accusingly .. and I whistled at him like I would for my dog. Well .. he comes sauntering over towards me .. onto the green .. like he's looking for me to give him a treat!!! StrokerAce, Kenny B and Rickp 3 Quote WITB of an "aspiring" play-ah ...

Rusty1885 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Played yesterday, enjoyed the wildlife well mainly deers and I'm sure there's some mountain lions lurking somewhere nearby. Oh! Also a small 2 foot rattler was in a strike mode when we were looking for my playing partner's ball. We looked at each other and said not worth it. I probably saw about a dozen deers on the course.
