Getting Back in the Game
It seems almost like yesterday, but in truth, it was nearly seven weeks ago on Easter Sunday, about as beautiful and mild an early April day that has ever graced the sandy peninsula I call home. I sauntered down the fairway, inwardly waxing poetic about the course and the camaraderie, enjoying a most excellent [...]
2010 Seagulls Champions
Congratulations to Kevin Carey and Joe Walker of Dennis Pines, winners of the 2010 Seagulls at venerable Hyannisport Golf Club for an unprecedented seventh time.

More Than Fair Weather Friends
It has been raining so often this spring in south eastern New England that most of us have simply given up on seeing the sun. It’s been great weather for ducks but not for golf. So when the Weather Channel said “chance of a few showers” and the radar looked clear of any huge lurking [...]
