| 1966.1 | where to play | SHRMSG::LAROCCO | MARK | Wed Nov 30 1994 15:59 | 5 |
| In the central Mass area, I'd try Stow Acres, Butternut, Indian
Meadows. I know there is an absence of snow there. Or you could head
south down 495 and play Maplegate in Bellingham as well as the New
England CC in Bellingham as well. Anything northwest is now covered
with snow!!

And Butternut Farm is $9 for 9 holes. I played both over the weekend
(BF only 9 holes) and found that Stow South had snow on the green of
the 3rd (short par 3). On holes where green was high and without too
many trees to the south, greens were OK, all other greens were frozen
and need to take a club less, with the problem that many times a high
ball would hit in front of the green and stay there, but if landing
on the green it would bounce off the back. Best thing was, if no
bunker to take a low loft club, not a full swing and let it run to
the green.
BF no snow on the first 9 holes and greens were somewhat softer.
Lets see what happens this week, the forecast is snow, ice and rain
for Thursday.

| I played butternut on saturday(9 holes) and then stow north
on sunday(18 holes). For the most part butternuts greens were
softer and the course was in generally good shape, except for
basically no water in most of the hazards. But is that really
a bad thing. :-) Fairways and greens soft and dry. No tee box
markers so you could play as long or short as you wanted.
As for Stow North, there were three holes with snow/ice on them
to the point where it REALLY effected how you played the hole.
The #4 hole, down hill par 4 with water to the left and front
of green, blind tee shot to landing area. Ideal landing area was
covered with snow and ice. Needed to "lay up" and hit at the
directional flag which is 200 yds from green. Then had to hit
200 yds into basically frozen green, no snow or ice, but hard to
keep the ball on the green. Next bad hole was #5 generally long par 3.
Green was completely covered with snow or ice. If you hit snow
the ball would hole, if you hit ice it would not. Then the other
bad green was the first par 3 on the back nine, I can not remember
the number, basically just frozen no way to hold if you landed on
the green. Putting on the 2 bad greens was just a complete guess
for speed and direction. We all agreed to a two put maximum for
our match. All in all it was a great two days of december golf
in new england. A few greens here or there were tough but you
can't ask for much more for the time of year or price.

Well, as far as #4 on Stowe North, why lay up? Because of the
hard fairway, I was just short of the water in front of the
green. Sandwedge 20 feet short of the stick and BOING - it
bounced 30 feet in the air and over the green in the bunker!!
Maplegate in Bellingham is in good shape. Tees are all up front
and off the tee boxes. Wachusetts is in good shape too!
