Sep 1, 2013


We started the day playing the heavily wooded and fun Bellamy DGC in New Hampshire. It was a cool course, beginning with a shot over a river/stream. Luckily the stream was dried up mostly, because on hole 2 I threw directly into it and had to climb down onto the rocks to get it. There were some longer fairways, but most of it was somewhat short but technical. The last few were just long narrow shots through tall trees. I really liked this course.


We continued south to Boston and went to Veggie Galaxy for dinner. They had great food and lots of desserts that I didn't get to try. We met Casie and Nathan at Harpoon Brewing for a tour. They updated their facility since last time I had been there so there is a huge dining room/bar where you enter now. The tour was a little different as well, but it was still a good one. You don't get to delve quite as far into the brewery as before, but you still get the free for all at the tap room after the tour. Their Pilot Session Pale Ale was awesome as is the White IPA. We hung out and got some pretzels after the tour with some beer.


We took our stuff over to their apartment and then Nathan took us downtown to the Microsoft offices, which are just amazing. They occupy the top 7 or so floors of one of the tall building downtown and they have a crazy sprawling view of the city. Not only that, they have pool tables, ping pong, and foozball, among many other awesome recreational activities. We spent most of the night there playing all the aforementioned games as well as a card game that was completely ridiculous. It was just a fun night. I was very envious. Am. We went back to the apartment and hung out watching a movie for a little while until we were too tired to stay awake any longer.
