The Massachusetts thread

[jamo]

FWIW, the main indoor ranges I go to are the Forekicks soccer domes in Marlborough and Norfolk.

Apparently there's a new one [URL=http://www.forekicks.com]in Taunton too[/URL].

[quote name="boogielicious" url="/t/29843/the-massachusetts-thread/30_30#post_943575"]For the indoor range, I can get some video, but the lighting is not that good.   [/quote] Same. I'm a little lucky that there are pretty large windows pointing straight at the camera for face-on views, but DTL views get dark, especially when it's cloudy.

How often is the range open at the fore kicks in Marlboro? I'm there every Saturday, but there's 4 year olds playing soccer on every available inch of the place

Weekdays from 9-3, usually.

Sweet! Thanks for the link Jamo, that's only 20 mins from me. I'll have to go and check it out.

Yeah, i have the same problem with the heated ranges because I'm standing in the shade hitting into the light.

We could definitely do that.

Noice.  Let's make it happen this summer.

Making a golf trip to the Boston area in the near future. I'll definitely use this thread for course recommendations. Thanks!

Hopefully by "near future" you mean May, June, July, August, September or October.

Jamo, didn't realize you were that young... Anyways, I live in Albany NY, so central Massachusetts isn't too bad of a drive, if anyone wanted to do a Springfield area course this summer. I'm sick of seeing all these west coast Sandtrap get togethers.

I live in Albany too and if I didn't make a bad impression upon @colin007 could probably ride out with him, however, I wasn't able to post in http://thesandtrap.com/t/72404/tst-new-england-spring-summer-2014-outing

Jamo, I was going to try that fore kicks place in marlborogh next week, do you like it?  Is it big enough to get a good idea of ball flight?

I do like it. For ball flight, you get a sense of whether you pushed or pulled it, but not so much if you're slicing or hooking the ball. Even if you don't get too much of the ball flight, [URL=http://thesandtrap.com/t/53895/hitting-into-a-net/0_30]hitting into a net isn't the worst thing[/URL]. Either way, it beats hitting balls at a regular driving range with those wonky heaters that rarely work. Just make sure you either check [URL=http://www.forekicks.com/marlboro/index.cfm]their website[/URL] or call ahead. They're generally open 9-3, but sometimes they don't open until noon.
