I am helping someone move to the area around Harvard next Thursday and would like to play a round on Friday. What are some nice courses in the area. Looking to pay less than $100, if you know any good courses giving out deals on tee times please let me know!

P.S. I wouldn't mind playing a round with a fellow TST member so let me know as well.

Never been out east to play, but on your way there, or on your way home if your going through Worcester county, stop at either Highfields in Grafton (southern), or Cyprian Keyes in Boylston (northern). Also I think Granite Links GC in Quincy is the highest rated public course in MA. Although that may be a little to far south depending on where your staying.

the home course is High Fields in Grafton. They have done a good job of taking care of the track (peep the sig for website). A round on Friday will cost you $61 cart included. At the right time of day from Harvard you are looking at a 50 minute drive. I've also played Red Tail out in Devens which might be a trek for you though and more than you would like to spend. I have heard good things about Granite Links in Quincy but have yet to play there since moving here in '07.

Work tomorrow so no links for me guy...

Anyone want to play next Friday or Saturday? This would make my choice a lot easier since I'd play wherever you would play.

If you don't mind making the drive down to RI I'd recommend Triggs or Newport National. In the Boston area I would say play an old Boston Muni such as Presidents, George Wright, or Franklin Park, or Gannon Memorial, they are goofy but fun to play and cheap and almost untouched from the turn of the century.

There isn't a ton of great public public golf right around Boston, so your best bet is to drive a little outside the city if you have the time. If you have to stay in the city, the munis the poster above mentioned are all average courses IMO (mostly due to mediocre course maintenance), so your best bet is probably Granite Links in Quincy, however I have heard from a few people it is a little overrated and overpriced.

Pinehills in Plymouth is supposed to be a great (two of the top public courses in MA), and Red Tail in Devens and The Ranch in Southwick are both fantastic courses. Another course I really like is Butter Brook in Westford, which is the most reasonably priced of any of these courses.

Played Blackstone National with Mike, was a great course with nice scenery. Thanks again Mike, let me know when you come down to NYC.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Hole 6, 185 uphill par 3, wind out of the right. I hit a 7 iron to 5-FT left of the pin. The ball landed about 185.5 yards. I drained the putt for a birdie, and most likely a skin.  2nd place is more of a best swing made. 110 yard wedge shot, where I did what I wanted in the back swing and downswing.  I hit a 75% partial wedge 95%. It was flushed, flighted, and beautiful to watch fly over the green. 🤣. I will need to redial in the wedges sometime. Since I am making an effort to make my former 3/4 swing length my full swing length.

      Anyone Else Stick a GPS Tag in Their Golfbag?

      Is that like "the longest yardstick you can find"? I don't have Airtags but I'd call all of them Airtags too.!

      Wind and Putting?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Yea, that makes sense.  I remember an Open tournament when they brought out the wind meter one day because balls were being blown around the green. I think it was 45+ sustained, which probably means 60 mph gusts.  I think for the most part, it isn't something that needs to be taken into account.  Also, a golf ball is designed to optimally move through the air. It has better aerodynamics than a sphere.  Thanks for your expertise on this. That makes sense. I know about how wind diminishes the lower in height you go. I didn't know it went near zero at the ground. I deal more with tall structures (utility poles), and we have to take into account height and impacts of wind on the pole. A bit of experience, but wasn't sure how close to zero, non-impactful it was on the golf ball on the ground.

      Day 2 (7 Aug 25) - More work on tempo with mid-irons, moved to wedges for the balance of the drill.
