May 6th - The name of the golf course is... .... .... Damn. Forgot it. Once again, I played with Josh. Also along for the trip was his bro-inlaw, Patrick and his buddy Steve. The golf course (Country club?) was down route 109 in the town of...Hempstead, or Milford, or Medford. I don't know. I'm pretty sure we drove through Milford for a second. Holliston! It was in Holliston. And the name of the course is Glen Ellen . Didn't come to me by memory though. I had to google it. Who needs a memory when google exists?
