Golf Course or Apples??

May 3 - Lyman Orchards GC - Jones Course
I made the 2 hour drive from Boston to compete in the Golf Channel event.  I envisioned a high end public track on a vast piece of land with apple orchards, retail market, horses, frisbee golf; basically you name it farm lifestyle in a box.  The result was a vast piece of land with a full retail market of freshly baked apple pies, chicken pot pies, and many other local products.  In addition, there was a nice learning center with a short 9 hole course, pitching and sand green, putting green, and a nice range with ample targets.  The golf course was a disappointment, with some consideration given to the fact they were still recovering from the long winter; greens were sanded and punched and fairways/rough were saddled with leftover rain (poor drainage topography). In top condition, it would play much better and possibly change my opinion.  On this day, I left with a couple of large apple pies and chicken pot pies for the family and friends and not wanting to return; weak layout and bad condition.  My score didn't help either: 82.    

Temperature was mid-60s and partly sunny.

As I write this, the weather is heating up and golf season is picking up!

Enjoy every moment on the course and play with a purpose,
Kurt
