Feel   I'm goin'   back to    Ma - ssa - chusetts,

Some - thing's telling me   I must    go home.

 

Ah yes, the famous Gibb family of Redcliffe. Great golfers (could pitch very high). Now; it's on to Massachusetts. This course took me by surprise. Don't be fooled by the relative lack of danger. It's a tough nut.

Can someone tell me what course Massachusetts is based on? I found this one really hard to get a score under par for some strange reason. I fought hard to get it to -1 on the turn but gave a shot back on the 12th then three putted the par 3, 16th after a great tee shot. I played well, drove well, putted well but never took control of the course. I'm not sure I can do much better but I'll be back.

-1 71  Mouse Swing Min Min 6 firm 10 stimp.  Tee to green, I did great, hit alot of FIR's and GIR's.  Just couldn't buy a putt.

[flyer01]

Had a +2 with 3c, no aids, no gimmies, fairways 7, stimp 10 and using grids. Love this course, I think it's my favorite. The putting was really slick.

[habo]

first round  in ms  just loved it  such a challenge. +17  minimum  stimp was  7-10  weather was set at  myrtle.  kinda  breezy

 

[Ted_Ball]

Cool habo. I look forward to seeing your scores come down.  Keep at it.

[Vulture]

+2 MS. Min min 5 firm 9 stimp. Found the water on 16 so it could have been better!

Still dizzy?

[highfade]

-4   min/min, 3-click,  calm,  5/10  firmness/stimp.

 

I find the sweetspot assist more important than the other one. The lost of distance cost me more

[blueblood1995]

+4 min/min 3C firmness 5 stimp 10

still struggling with the snap!

[Ted_Ball]

TPC Boston. Thanks blueblood

Pitout3d (MS) -3

Was tougher than I thought it would be, especially around 12 and 13, but the course gives you a few at the end.

[Reynhardt_p2]

Forgot to say....Min aids, grids, fimness 6, stimp 10.

[robbiet71]

73 +1 in the rain, breezy with min/min no grids. Timing off today especially on approaches. Salvaged a lot of holes with solid chipping and putting. Also had a lucky bounce off a tree trunk back onto the fairway somewhere on the back 9.

[Greensboronclion]

Well it was a struggle but put me down for a 75 +3 with Min aids and BLI tho I used the grid in the rough {where I spend Most my time} as it is tough to see the BLI in the shadows.  It was a warm sunny day and the the winds where calm and the greens where set to 10/7 as aways and the pins were easy tho my ball seemed to be allergic to them.  Oh and the birds were chirping and the worms were hiding.  Will try another round tonight and I think I will play in the rain this time.

[JoeF]

Shot a +2 @ mini/no grid/calm/7-10.  Missed 4 putts under 6 feet which is unusual for me as putting tends to be my strong suit.

[Kimmer1947]

 Shot a 70 (-2).  Had a nice F9 going but fell apart on the B9.  Mini/grid/7-10.  3Clicker.

[TRCThrobbinhood]

Hi, just did an 8 under par, left a few putts out there but had to pull off some good approaches from the rough when I though I was in trouble.

That's with minimum settings. Mouse swing.
