Damn it feels good to be a member. The basket of complimentary tees, the brisk pace of play, pristine fairways and silky smooth greens leave no doubt that you are no longer amongst the daily fee crowd. This blog and my life is typically restricted to the everyday man lifestyle but when opportunity knocks and you get invited to experience how the other half lives there is no reason to deny the experience.

Prestigious Pocasset Golf Club on Cape Cod opened in 1916 as a Donald Ross design but how it has matured from original to present day form is what may be the most impressive.

With the loss of several holes near the ocean and few original green complexes remaining, one may be concerned that Ross’s overall vision would have been compromised. Thankfully that is not the case as it was a pleasure to see the remarkable redesign work done by Ron Forse and the strategic decisions made by the greens committee to maintain the integrity and playability of the course.

The new holes flow seamless with old. The expansive rolling terrain, elevated greens with trademark bunkers, require all the precision you would want and provide all the beauty you would expect from a classic Donald Ross experience. It is a course you could play everyday and never bore of - as great of a compliment you can give any design. If I ever find myself in a place where money is no object, I would certainly seek membership...and maybe a cozy cape house to go with it.

Pocasset is the incredibly beautiful, smart, sexy girl that offers a smile and remembers your name. As you may be tempted to believe that someday you’ll be in a position to have a shot she’ll most likely end up with someone that can offer a whole lot more.  Be thankful for the moments you do share as not everyone gets to spend time with a nearly perfect 10.
