I'm going to be in Boston for a conference from the 19-26 of July. My days are full but my nights are open. I'm hoping to find an easily accessible course that offers evening golf with rental clubs available. Preferably not too expensive. Any suggestions? Anyone wanna join me?

Yours in earnest, Jason.

What? No takers?? Fine, you don't have to play with me, just recommend some courses with lights that are easily accessible from the downtown core.

OMG, you've become *bump my own thread guy* lmaorotf I didnt golf when I lived up there but there is a chance that what you are looking for does not exist. Even in the land of year round golf, I only know of one course with lights around here.

Whoops, must have missed this thread the first time around. I don't know of any course in the area with lights. During late July you'll still have sunlight until 8:30ish, so you should still be able to get in 9 somewhere. Obviously, no courses right downtown. Closest you're going to find would be William J. Devine at Franklin Park in Dorchester, Robert T. Lynch in Brookline, or, my favorite, George Wright in Hyde Park. On the Cambridge side, the closest would be Fresh Pond, a 9 hole course. I've never played there, but from what I've heard they've been pumping money into it lately. Not sure if any of those places rent clubs.

Thanks Jamo. Yeah I'm looking at William J. Devine just because it's a 10 minute can ride from the hotel. They do rent, not sure if I can make the last tee time though. I thinks it's at 5pm. I might just sneak out of the conference though. Maybe I'll be a badass and skip out everyday and get a good solid week of nines in.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

Off line for the last two days.  George Wright is a nice course.  I have not played there, but one of my workmates likes it a lot.  Most of the courses I play are north of the city about 25 minutes.  I have my league on Mondays and a grad party on Sat the 20th.  It would be real hard to get there by 5PM on a work night for me with traffic.  Sunday the 21st might be possible though.

It's still a ways away and I don't know my schedule yet but if I can get some free time on sunday I'll PM you, it would be cool to meet up with a fellow trapper. I'm no great shakes on a golf course but I'm a quick and courteous playing partner and I maintain my cool regardless of score.

      Day 105: mirror work today. Focused on not looping my hands at the top of the swing. Straight down.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Still working on the backswing a bit. Hand still gets away from the body, out towards the ball, and at A2 the club wants to roll over and get flat at A3. It's just very difficult to shallow from that position like I want. Which makes my downswing work impossible.  Backswing I have been playing around with the left leg straightening to start the backswing. It's like, a slight shove of the hips right with the left leg. Then just keep the flex in the right knee as I turn into it. I kind of like it. I never had a good swing trigger. It helps keep my left knee extended.  Yea, definitely feeling the hand path is traveling down the feet line, and straight up. A little bit of wrist rotation, and a lot more hinge sooner in the right wrist and elbow. I am trying to get the feeling that the arm hinging up then is the cause for the right shoulder to retract to finish the backswing. Club feels much more vertical at A3. I am trying to have my wrist fully hinged by then.  Feel the club and arms stop at A3.5 (my A4). If my arm collapses late, then I turn into that and I am pretty much screwed. The club and arms kind of have a floaty feeling, where they are just suspended in air for a bit, then drop.  Downswing I have been trying to think of a good visual for this mentally. I like the idea of my hands taking a wide arc to my right pocket, or I am taking the back of the hosel and trying to hit the ground behind my right foot.    Left knee stuff, just sooner.

      Day 2 (10 Mar 26) - Worked on weight shift feel using slap stick drill (hands about 6” apart - coming back weight on trail foot - down - thru weight on lead foot….moved it to hitting chips w/9i playing what I call “leap frog” - hit 1st about 10yds, the next a couple past the 1st, for about 6 balls total.  Love it as the lies change, the distances vary making each swing slightly different.
