Boston Open - First Time

August 3 - I competed in the Boston Open at William J Devine Golf Course in Dorchester, MA.  My first experience in the event.  It consists of multiple divisions, pro and amateur.  The pro field attracts players from out of state and is some serious competition.  The first place score was 66 (4 under par).  My preparation for this event was not top notch.  I wasn't well rested and nutritionally deficient.  Shot 77.  I still hit many good shots and got around the course fairly well for never seeing it before.  Temps were in the 70s.  It was windy. Course conditions were very good.  Another solid Donald Ross piece of work; would have been helpful to see the course due to some blind tee shots and lay up requirements.

This tournament was a great mix of fun and competition.  The tournament staff, including starters, scorers, etc. were very enthusiastic, nice, and welcoming people.  I look forward to coming back.

Keep remembering the good shots,
Kurt
