The 2010 Wrap-Up

Winter, you bastard.

It's been a long one so far here in New England, but in the past week or so there have been enough warmer days and melting -- plus watching the Pebble Beach Pro-Am -- to make one start to pine for golf season again.  I've even made it to the range a few times... and then got my clubs regripped... and then bought some new golf apparel.

So, yeah, I'm ready for spring.

But before that happens, we have to recap the 2010 season.  It's been a while since I've written (6 months, to be exact), and truthfully there wasn't much to write about on the mission front at the tail end of the season.  The highlight round for me was the 2nd day of the TOUR of Greater Boston Club Championship at Atlantic Country Club.  Here's the quick rundown:

The TPC Experience

Two years ago I joined the TOUR of Greater Boston for 2 things: to have the opportunity to play some tournament golf, and to hopefully play some courses that I wouldn't normally have a chance to play.  A few weeks ago the second of those two goals really paid off when I played the TPC Boston course, site of the Deutsche Bank Championship.  It was, in a word, awesome.  Let's go through the day step-by-step.

The Must Plays: 2010

Like last year, there are a few courses that I really feel like should be "must plays" for this year (or sometime in the next 5 years, depending on the location).  Let's run through the ones I played from last year's list, and set up new lists for this year.
