Has anyone gone to this tourny? I am considering going to it and wonder what the experience is like at this course. Any input appreciated.

I only live about 30 minutes from there but, no, I have never gone. I have however played the front 9 of the course they play on, TPC Boston.

I live in the next town over and have gone three times. It's a very well run tourney with a great field so I have really enjoyed myself there. I have followed Tiger and Mickleson around and while it was crowded I never felt like I was being pushed around (although I am 6'3" 265). I would highly recommend it if you are going to be in the area. If you have time you can play a round at Norton Country Club after getting horny for golf watching the pros.

I am thinking a Thursday trip. I do not work that day and hopefully beat the crowds. I use your height though..... I want to see who is going to play it this year, but I did not see a list of guys who are committed to the event on there website.

Keep in mind it's a Friday-Monday touney. It's also a FedEx Cop Playoff event so the field isn't set.

Right, it's the second FedExCup playoff event so the field won't be set until after The Barclays is over, but it will be the top 100 players in the FedExCup standings so it's guaranteed to be the best of the best.

The event is great-- it's very well run, TPC Boston is a great course and easy to walk if you want to follow a specific golfer. There are a wide variety of ticket options so I'm sure it'll be easy to find something that suits what you're looking for. It also sounds like there are some cool spectator enhancements for 2010, so even if you've been before I recommend that everyone should go this year!

I think it's awesome they named a bank after such a valuable feminine hygeine product. It keeps Joan Rivers vibrant, fresh and full of pep!

    • Day 27 (7 Dec 25) - Got in a few swings with 9i and hard foam balls in backyard.  Setup weight fwd (rebuilt left foot really lets me feel the weight in a slightly painful way) - kept the backswing to around 9 o’clock focusing on contact and resulting divot pattern.  Like how the hard foam balls come off the face (almost like real balls in sound).  A good abbreviated session as I only able to hit about a dozen balls in the fading light. 
    • Day 117 12-7 A bit of chipping practice today. Full swing- hit some real balls to see where Im at. 
    • Not the part I was replying to: Handicaps did not go down much (like 0.14 on average IIRC?) when we went from 10/20*0.96 to 8/20. And a good chunk of that was from the +s.
    • I think he meant in the UK. The old system was completely different from the new one. 10/20 x 0.96 vs 8/20 would really only impact very low handicaps I think. The 0.96 serves to increase differentials for plus differentials, where 8/20 vs 10/20 works to lower differentials for all. I don't know many plus golfers who would be upset that their index got lower. A lot of really good players don't even really keep their handicaps up-to-date. They're much more interested in their WAGR rankings which get them entries to certain events.
    • Day 433 - 2025-12-07 Got some work in after Junior Elite before a night of sports (and the return of my wife!). Backswing work. Similar to what a lot of my juniors are doing.
