It is in every sense of the word its “Prime Time” for New England Golf. The long cool wet spring has taken its sweet time to warm up ground conditions enough to get the courses and especially greens in optimum playing condition. While grass grows fairly well at 40 to 50 degrees, greens require a higher ground temperature to prosper and fill in. In the last week we have seen a steady improvement in the weather, lets hope it is a sign of more of the same. We have all waited long enough its time to get out and shed the layers and play summer golf. In this issue you will find our features on the Golf Life covering great stay and play packages throughout New England, Katharine Dyson once again takes us on a tour of fantastic golf and wonderful eateries along the way. Gorman vs. Geary debates the greatest U.S. Open ever and Ed Travis gives you his take in “ Going Long” a review of some of the best long putters out there today. Jack Ross gives us his rulings on the often confusing provisional ball and Alice & Danny Scott take us to the shores of Thailand with some great golf. Be sure to check out those quirky little codes in our center they are called Q R Codes, or quick response codes and they are all about saving money on all the golf you play. You will see more of these in the future in every facet of our lives. In this issue also our readers rate the best par 3’s in New England. While talking about shorter holes the PGA is focusing this month on a new program called “ Tee it Forward” in an attempt to bring awareness in the game to choosing the right tee’s for a golfer to play. Also there is a strong initiative under way in golf to offer a shortened version of the game to make it more available to families and younger players. The need to grow the game has never been more important with the average age of club members in America at about 55. We need to plant the seeds now for future generations to maintain this great game. Play on and Remember to Give Back.
