Looks like my wife is going away for the weekend as is my buddy's wife as well. We are up in Boston and looking for ideas for where we could fly/drive to to have a nice weekend of golf. We want to do 36 Saturday(8/28), 18 Sunday(8/29) and come home early afternoon that same day. Any suggestions or recommendations? We play all the local courses in Mass so would be nice to get away from here but without paying through the roof for it. Not against flying as long as its reasonable, but driving a few hours wouldnt bother me either. Probably head down Friday evening after work, then hit the links early

All input appreciated!

also wouldn't be opposed to a 2 day intensive golf school, that would be a ton of fun

We have two openings in our August 28 school. You could play Sunday morning and still be back in town early evening. Small chance due to the 7 or 8-hour drive, I know, but I thought I'd mention it.

Keith,

I have heard good things about courses in Rhode Island. Two that have been recommended are:

Laural Lane - http://www.laurellanecountryclub.com/

and

Meadowbrook - http://www.newenglandgolfguide.com/f...dow-brook.html

They are close to Foxwoods, so if you want something to do at night!!!

Where in MA have you played the most rounds? I have a NE golf bucket list that if time was available and $ was not much of a thought I would love to do. Places like: Belgrade Lakes and Dunegrass in ME, Pinehills in Plymouth, Taconic in Williamstown, Crumpin-Fox, Granite Links all in MA, Isle of Lakes (near Foxwoods).

Why don't you consolidate two courses to play with one stayover for each day: Western MA, Maine, the Cape area, or CT are a few good golf areas - new courses that are not too far away from home. Plus, in CT you could hit either Foxwoods or Mohegan Sun if you're so inclined.

    • Hey, thanks for the feedback. I do lift weights but I’m also adding yoga or Pilates for mobility and flexibility to my routine. 
    • Day 18: 2026.01.20 Continuing work on arm raise during backswing. Starting to feel less weird, especially the slower I go. Looking like a busy week so might be the weekend before I can hit some balls.
    • It’s possible the graphite shaft has a small internal crack or a delamination. Tapping it and hearing a vibrating sound is usually a sign the shaft isn’t behaving as it should. Since the store wasn’t helpful, consider taking it to a club fitter or a pro shop that can check the shaft flex and integrity. If it’s defective, you might be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer.
    • It’s interesting how much a 3D system changes your understanding. Observing top players in full detail and realizing the trail knee shouldn’t fully extend is a great example of why being open to new info is so important. I like your approach: not trying to be “right,” but trying to teach correctly based on actual evidence. Makes sense why golfers would benefit from this perspective.
    • I would say both are equally not the best for golf. Is it better than nothing, sure.  Golf is an athletic motion. Professional golfers are doing a comprehensive workout routine focusing on strength, power, flexibility, stability. They might include some yoga into the routine. I would put both of them in the recovery bin, not golf enhancement bin.  If you want to increase swing speed, core strength, longevity in golf and life, then lift heavy weights.
