Glad I checked in to see this againā¦
Straight from the book of I am freaking moron I bent my 8 iron shaft of a tree root recovering from my big right miss.
So, since Iāve never needed club repair before.
Where should I go to get a new Project X 6.0 steel shaft put on?
I live north of Boston but I am willing to drive for a deal.
PS I made bogey, which I am proud of.

Are there any driving ranges open in Mass yet?
Nope, nothing yet as far as ranges. Just courses.
I go to Joe & Leighās at Pine Oaks down in Easton. Off the beaten path, but one of the best customer service places for golf in the state.

I drove by Golf Country in Middleton this morning and people were hitting balls there, FYI.
Iāve had good luck with Golf and Ski in Hudson NH. Havenāt had a ton of stuff done there but the turnaround has been relatively quick.

Rt 1 north of Boston or like 495/93 North of Boston? There is Ace of Clubs in Saugus. PGA Tour Superstore in Peabody should be able to handle a simple reshaft, as would Golf Galaxy in Burlington, though some people stay away from the big box stores for clubwork. Golf and Ski in Hudson or Greenland are good.

I live near route 1, Malden, and I am trying to avoid the big box stores. I donāt trust the person working there would know what they are doing. I will check out Ace of Clubs. Thanks.
I played Crumpin-Fox for the first time over the weekend, and it was ā¦ fine? I feel like it gets an awful lot of attention for a course in nice shape with a pretty average layout.
I got a great deal, so Iām not upset or anything, but it was a bit disappointing.
Simple answer is that Crumpin-Fox is not āpretty averageā:
There are 300 public golf courses in Massachusetts.
Is it in the Top 10? Maybe, maybe not. I could make a case for it being near the bottom of that list. Is it in the Top 20? Probably. But again, I could probably find 20 courses that have an argument for having a ābetterā layout. Top 30? I really donāt think I could come up with 30 better public courses in Massachusetts, on an objective basis.
So even if itās the 30th best public courseā¦that makes it top 10% in the stateā¦not really āaverageā.
I would say that itās also a really interesting case, because it is so ridiculously out of style that nobody likes it right nowā¦but Crumpin-Fox was The Buck Club of ~1985. Field of dreams for a golf enthusiast. Masterwork of an up-and-coming architect. Sold as āthe nextā Pine Valley. And this is where it is today.

Ace of Clubs is legit. One of the best fitters around. Not sure if heāll handle the repair/reshaft but worth a call or email.
For a fitting, canāt beat Ace of Clubs.

I am taking lessons at GolfTec (once they open again), but I will forgo fitting with them and go to Ace of Clubs. I made it my golf goal to drop to a 15 handicap and as a present get fitted for a set, i hope i get there.
Do they do fittings without purchase? I like to buy used clubs.
FYI I am taking the club to my Dads club to get fixed by the pro.
Not quite sureāyouāll have to take a look or give a call.
Shoutout to @FringeLife for being a fantastic playing partner at Taconic today!
First time playing with a fellow refugee, definitely not the last, cant wait to get out there with more of yall!
(he took much better pictures than the shite one i snapped above lol)
