May 25 - Tee'd it up at Braintree with my brother and friend Josh H (home is Michigan - go State!). The weather turned out excellent, sunny and high 60s, and the golf course was in great condition. Greens were on the slower side, but very well maintained and the fairways did not draw a bad lie. One of the best municipal courses in the area. I'd consider it almost in the category of Wachusett CC, another gem of a municipal course. My brother is working on his swing through lessons and took it to the course with good progress, most notably the Mashie club (makes me think Francis Ouimet) and destroyed the #11 hole, number one handicap with a solid ball striking display from tee to green! Braintree is a tight course to challenge yourself and he managed very well. Josh played his low cut driver off the tee and showed good touch around the greens. #18th was a great finish for all; Derek hit his best drive with a three wood, Josh hit an 80 yard shot to inches from the hole, and I just missed birdie; keeps you coming back for more! Unexpectedly, we came face to face with a handful of goats. Apparently there is a goat farm? They were separated by wire fence, but we got a close first hand look at their big ole' heads. I went around in 74, two birdies (#10 and #13), two bogeys, and one double.
Fun day and great value. $38 for 18 holes walking! I recommend this course for those in the area. Its a great value play!
Thanks for a great day bro and Josh a.k.a Tank.
To family and friends,
