1873.1 | some at Kimballs/Stow Acres | ATEIS::MILLER | | Tue Apr 05 1994 16:45 | 9 |
|
Kimballs does have an area adjacent to the driving mats permitting
hitting off the turf. The Kimballs mats are also on wood providing
less impact to us arthritis sufferers. Stow Acres has a small hit
turf area next to their concrete based mats. If my memory
serves me right I thought Whirlaway in Methuen had a small turf
area?

1873.2 | Hitting off turf | MSBCS::GALVIN | R.T. Galvin BXB1-2/H06 293-5664 | Wed Apr 06 1994 09:27 | 12 |
| Places that I practiced at last year with turf hitting areas were:
South Meadow - Berlin/Northboro line at the rotary on Solomon Pond Rd.
RiversEdge - Hudson off of Donald Lynch Boulevard between 495 and
Hudson High School
Marlboro (cant think of the name, it is across from the Navin rink at
the old landfill). They have a nice turf area, and charge a yearly
$10 membership to keep hackers off the turf.

1873.3 | Lancaster restricted to irons only for a while. | ELWOOD::BERNARD | | Wed Apr 06 1994 09:32 | 8 |
| If any of you in central Mass head down to the driving range in
Lancaster just off rte 2 (Mechanic Street) they are only allowing irons
to be used for the next week or so. Don't bother bringing your Big
Bertha, they imposed the irons restriction due to wet conditions.
Not sure if they have any grass tees. My finger is sore this morning
from hitting a bucket of balls last night, gotta work on the grip.

1873.4 | Greenmeadow 100% Turf | TEST59::DUNNING | | Wed Apr 06 1994 09:47 | 8 |
| It might be a little out of your way but Greenmeadow in Hudson N.H. has
an all grass driving range......NO DECKS NO MATS......Just beatiful
100% Turf........Excellent Golf course also 36 holes worth.
It is located about 5 miles north of the Tyngsboro Bridge on Rte 3A,
the entrance is adjacent to Petes Gun Shop......Sams Club and Wal Mart
are also in close proximity.

| But right noW, Greenmeadow's driving range has mats out because it
is still wet. I went out at noon yesterday and there was a line
waiting to get on the mats.

** 100% Turf........Excellent Golf course also 36 holes worth.
** It is located about 5 miles north of the Tyngsboro Bridge on Rte 3A,
I'm playing there this Saturday. I don't think I would rate the
courses quite the same. The South (I get these mixed up) is pretty
good, but the North course has a 3 or 4 holes that are really quite
awful.

1873.7 | New Holes at Greenmeadow. | TEST59::DUNNING | | Wed Apr 06 1994 11:53 | 15 |

re: .6
When is the last time you played the North Course?????
They were doing a lot of changes to the North course at the end of last
season.....if my memory serves me correctly 15,16 & 17 are new.
Compared to some of the "Cow Pastures" I've had the displeasure of
playing on either course on Greenmeadow is luxurious.
Oh Yeah...almost forgot....Hickory Hill in Methuen also has a 100%
turf driving range.

| Played it early last November. Right about now, I would gladly play in
a cow pasture, pattys and all.

1873.9 | | MRLAT::RASPUZZI | Michael Raspuzzi - LAT Engineering et al | Wed Apr 06 1994 13:57 | 1 |
| I believe the range at Sterling Country Club is also all turf (no mats).
