New Member at Crumpin Fox GC
So I just joined my 1st golf club in like 10 years. I am now a member of the Crumpin Fox Golf Club here in Bernardston, MA. Previously I was a member of Hickory Ridge GC in Amherst, MA.
I took advantage of the end-of-the-year special, where you pay so much to play the rest of the year then that fee is subtracted from next year’s membership.
So why did I take the plunge and join? For a number of reasons.
1. The course is just a gem to play. I have played it many, many times and just love the layout and beauty of the course.
2. It’s like 12 minutes from our house.
3. I really want to re-dedicate myself to the game and improve in every area.
4. My “day job” is as a software engineer and after sitting on my butt all day in a corporate environment it is pretty nice to do something physical (like play golf)
5. I have a number of friends who play/are members there.
6. I want to play more competitive golf in tournaments, etc.
6. Got the OK from my wife 
Pretty sound reasons, right? Anyway, really looking forward to playing a lot more golf.
If any of you readers are up in the area and would like to play a round, let me know and we can perhaps set something up. Guests of a member also get a discount on greens fees.

Yeah, love playing there and I guess it doesn’t hurt that I live about 12 minutes away. Was that your first time playing there? How did you end up playing?
Thanks for stopping by, Jon!

It was pretty tough. I hung around bogey golf for a while (I play to about a 9) and then got crushed on the par 5 with water on the left. Was that the ninth hole?
I think I cruised in with about a 94.
Hey Jon, the par 5 next to water is #8 and #9 is a knarly par 3. Remember that one?
Overall, what did you think of Crump?

It was great. I had played Pinehills earlier in the week (vacation in Boston) and I’ve played a lot of courses in the country. Crumpin-Fox was a real old-timey classic kind of course. I liked it a lot.
It is a great course. I played it last year during a trip to Boston.
They didn’t have bag tags at the time. Do they have them now?
