I am a +1, I played a little in college but took it more seriously in my late 20s. Still love to play when I can get out....have 2 kids under 6. Love everything about golf!!! Love the personal growth related to all the challenges and perseverance to get to the next level of the game. Love being in nature with good friends and even by myself. LOVE classic architecture and traveling around the world to play great courses. It such a great global game that builds character!! I have read reviews here forever and I don’t know why I just signed up. I love unbiased reviews so I’m a big fan of what you guys do. I live in Narragansett RI and my home course is Fenner Hill it’s a great track that rewards good second shots and good putting I love golf everywhere.....so all is good lots of beautiful courses that are affordable....the area needs more junior golf programs but I hope to donate some time in the future to help setup a foundation for that (longterm goals) also need a few more regional tourney things instead of just state or single course tourneys I am a Physical Therapist and own a consulting company in bio tech it’s my email! Great to have you joning us and hope you share your insights. I get the wanting to get out when possible with two little ones, currently have 2 under 4. Gotta enjoy it when possible.

Imp 34 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) How long have you been playing golf? I started as a driving range pro at the age of 7 or 8 when my dad would take us to the one on Rt 6 in Seekonk MA across from the Speedway to get my brother and I out of our mothers hair. I was 13-14 for my 1st actual round on a course with my brother and have been playing since. Dad never played. And that was about 35-40 years ago. What’s your handicap or normal score? 11.9 index What do you love about golf? The change of scenery and hanging with like-minded individuals. What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Never knew there was a forum until today. Used to just read the articles and admire the pictures. Do you already know any other Spies? The swallow flies at midnight in the stiff breeze. Where are you from? SE Ma/RI What is your home course? Green Valley, Portsmouth RI What are the best and worst things about golf in your region?

russtopherb 7,893 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 OK all you MA/RI golfers - our scholarship scramble is on! We'll be holding the event on May 1 at Allendale Country Club in Dartmouth, MA. $110 for golf & dinner, with plenty of prizes and raffle items up for grabs. Normally our scholarships are funded by a big concert we put on every March that features all of our high school performing groups, unfortunately COVID has caused that concert to be cancelled two years in a row. We're hoping for a great turnout so we can recognize our deserving seniors this June when they graduate. Info and signup forms can be found at https://www.facebook.com/events/248090026806130/ 1 Quote In my carry bag: D7 GBB 3W (lofted to 4W) V-Series Heavenwood Baffler XL 5i-PW CBX 54* iWedge 58* #10 Whatever ball I have 3 dozen of that my kids got me as a gift Twitter: @russtopherb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El_Pibe_De_Oro 12 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 How long have you been playing golf? What’s your handicap or normal score? I started playing in 1996 at the dawn of the Tiger era. Tiger was a big reason I started playing golf. I haven't kept a USGA handicap in a long time. My unofficial handicap is 10.2. What do you love about golf? I have moved a lot and usually go out to the course as a single. I love that golf gives me the opportunity to meet new people all the time. What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Do you already know any other Spies? I was listening to a podcast that mentioned MyGolfSpy product reviews and decided to check it out. I don't know any other spies, but would love to meet some spies out on the course. Where are you from? What is your home course? I recently moved back to the Greater Boston area and am in Wrentham for the time being. Have played Maplegate a bunch since I've been back. What are the best and worst things about golf in your region? The worst is the short season. The best are the beautiful natural settings of the courses in MA. What do you do for a living? I'm a patent lawyer. How’d you pick your user name? I was born in Argentina and "el pibe de oro" was a nickname for the great Argentine soccer player, Maradona, who died last year. 4 Quote Driver: PXG 0811X Proto (9 Deg.) 3 Wood: PXG 0211 (15 Deg.)

Right down the road from me and a few others on site. Maplegate is a great spot (used to be one of the best in the area) and is slowly getting back with new greenskeeping. If you have not played wentworth in wrentham yet, that is well worth it (very tight course) Plenty of folks on here to get rounds in with, enjoy the site! 1 Quote Check out my reviews: G710 Irons Official Review MC Shaft & V Series Putter Thread WITB: Traverse is filled with all this shiny metal and tracked by : RadSpeed 8* - MotoreX F1 6X I SIM 3W - Project X HZRDUS Green I 2019 P790 4-PW - Project X 6.5 LZ 48 (SM8), 52, 56, 60 (SM7) - Nippon Modus 125 S I O-Works 1W I PROV1X #19 Thank you to all those that have served/are serving and God Bless America Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GolfSpy Barbajo 9,422 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Am hearing some courses in southern MA are hoping to open up in late March. Pine Hills is reportedly looking to open by March 28th, and Olde Barnstable Fairgrounds by March 15th. Don't know about up here in NH, but definitely getting the itch. Hit Sagamore's heated driving range yesterday - am definitely up for a road trip south.

B.Boston 13,761 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Alright NE-crew. Since it feels like Spring today... or at least not as wintery... I’ve got a question for you all. If you could only play one of your courses for the whole season, which would you choose?It’s gotta be something you would normally play. The idea behind this one is get a list going of our favorites so anyone in the area can scroll through and see. Try not to repeat so we get a good list. For me it’s Highfields Golf and Country Club in Grafton, MA (sorry [mention]Lacassem [/mention] choose something different). It’s a great track with a variety of holes and a great value. 2 Quote #COBRACONNECT CHALLENGE 4 ALUMNUS Epic Max LS 10.5 - Motore X F3 6x | Speedzone 5-wood - Ventus Blue 8s | TSi3 20* Hybrid - KBS Proto 85s KING Forged Tec 5-GW - Nippon Modus 120x | KING MIM Black 52.12C, 56.10V, 60.04W - Nippon Modus 125 Wedge ER2B | Pro V1x | NX9 Slope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll reiterate highfields because bang for bucks is top notch for me another one I try to play multiple times a year is Wachusett country club in west boylaton, MA. I am all about course for my dollar and wachusett is fantastic value. Always good quick greens and everything else is really well maintained. The 5th hole is a beautiful downhill par 5 and is one of my favorite holes around.
