Any courses that are open this weekend that the group is aware of? I see Captains is open - but that is a 3 hour drive from the house in NH. Anywhere further north?
Anybody else get out today? I played 9 holes at a 9 hole course that I haven’t played in over 25 years and froze my butt off.
Only good thing today was the price, damn was it cold out there.

I drove past Old Marion and there were two cars in the parking lot. It was too cold for me.
You are a tougher man than I
Me too. It hurt to leave my house today ha ha

Forgot those last friday, paid for it the second round
Got up to Oxford greens in CT a few days ago. Greens were pretty hard but real tees and real greens was fantastic to get out in January.
Just a dusting!!!
I've never done those but Monday's are tough for me.

Some off season news:
Seems like things are finally happening at Stow:
https://www.stow-ma.gov/conservation-commission/events/135756
Supposedly the North course will be reduced to 9 holes and some changes to the South layout.

Stinks that it's the North that's losing 9 holes - I think it's the better layout overall. But I wonder if you could do a really nice 18 hole course with North/South.
Calling out to the Mass guys here. My brother and I have talked about doing a golf trip to the Cape in early/mid May this year. Then all of a sudden reality hit me this morning and I realized that &*^*ing COVID might flush that plan down the toilet. Are out of staters welcome in Massachusetts? Do you guys have any guesses as to whether we'd be able to do this in May? For reference, I'm traveling from Vermont and him from Connecticut.
I think you would be fine coming from inside of New England.
I agree it is a bummer about the North course losing holes that was definitely the better track. I played the state 4 ball there at least 20 years ago and it hosted the US Publinx at one point. I played there last summer early in May and it was in terrible condition I didn't go back which was a shame. Stow used to be the premier public facility before all of the newer higher end clubs were built.

I'd call your resort of choice and validate with them. I know some people are not following any of the recommended guidelines but a resort has its license to operate hanging in the balance. I'd bet it is a non issue but could save you a long drive.
Hope you're right! Was looking up the golf packages and they're really affordable. Hopefully in a couple months I'll be hitting you guys up for course recommendations
