The Art of the Bethpage Overnight - Part 1
|
|
by Jay Flemma

Many quick pre-dawn drives have gotten me prime weekend tee times - sometimes even with a partner. Arrive before daybreak, secure a mid-morning tee time on the Black, retreat to the breakfast room for cereal, toast, bacon, coffee and a newspaper, then hit balls before approaching the starter with the fine, wide, satisfied smile of a veteran who knows he's up.

'Golfing New England - Courses, Legends, History and Hints'

Reviewed by Jeff Shelley
