Golfing the Fox
Anytime you play golf in November in New England you consider it an immense gift from the golf gods. And yesterday I and a few friends played the Crumpin Fox Golf Club on just about a glorious golf day as could be found (temps in lower 70’s).
You can see from some of the pics I included that there are not many leaves left on the trees – almost all have fallen. Just a bleak reminder of what’s around the corner for us Northern folks – namely that white powdery stuff (and I’m not talking about drugs!)
I DO love this course. It’s not the easiest golf – as almost everything is carry. I barely broke 90 but hit some pretty decent shots and a bunch of “not so good” ones.
But you’d be pressed to find a more beautiful course in the Northeast (and I’ve played bunch of them!) It’s always in great shape, has a nice friendly staff and a terrific rustic clubhouse with a huge roaring fireplace that makes it very cozy this time of year.
The pics I shot yesterday and included are (from top to bottom): Hole #1 closeup. Signature hole #8 (par 5) hugging the water. Hole #9 (par 3) View down the line of the par 4 2nd hole and the par 5 hole #14.
If you are ever up in this neck of the woods (Bernardston, MA – about 15 minutes south of the Vermont border) I highly recommend you check out this terrific golfing venue.
