    Hi Larry,
    
    I've played a course back over the line (Rehoboth, MA) that was pretty
    decent a couple of years ago.  I believe it's called Rehoboth CC or GC
    or somesuch.  Just a thought.  Happy flogging...

        cough up enough $$ to play there these days.

1057.5WARPII::WARFIELDGone GolfingSun Aug 26 1990 22:2316
	Thanks for the suggestions.  I ended up playing Triggs because I'm
	fond of Donald Ross courses.  It's a good layout.  It starts hard.
	(I can't remember another course I've played where you've already
	played the #1 & 3 stroke holes after 3 holes.)  The greens were
	in good shape, the tees showed lots of wear, the fairways were good
	if you kept the ball in the short mown grass.

	Unfortuantely they were having a tournament there in the morning so
	I didn't get out until late.  (Moral call ahead.)  But I did get
	linked up with a guy that plays there weekly, so he helped with
	strategy & ball position.  Overall a wash.

	Larry

	PS: The view of the Providence sky line was a nice bonus.
