The season is winding down across the area. It’s getting dark way too early at night and lasting far too long in the mornings. Hopefully, you can get out for one final round, especially next week, with temperatures forecast to be near 70 degrees.
This year was terrific for golf, with many great tournaments and individual accomplishments. Thank you to those who shared the happenings on their home courses. This column wouldn’t be what it is without Dan Andrews, Nancy Calvert, Bill Earle, Lynn Jones, Brendan King, Maryann Lowry, Bobby McGraw, Kim O’Neil, Michael Peloquin, Ryan Polisso, Jonathan Rivers and Kevin Walker. You are the best ambassadors for this sport.
