And so it begins...kinda

This is not an April Fools gag - it's the 'official' start of the golf season here in Massachusetts! So why does it look like this outside...

The 9th fairway at TPC Boston

Although, to be fair, this is about a billion times better than it was just a couple weeks ago!

So what does April 1st mean for golfers? Simply put, you can start posting scores for rounds played in Massachusetts now, and they will count toward your Handicap Index.

And in an exciting development, we will soon be rolling out MGA MembersNow! - a program that allows golfers to sign up for and renew their GHIN number online (with participating MGA Member Clubs). Up until now, renewing your GHIN number for the season meant making a special trip to the Pro Shop to pay your fee in person. But now, you'll be able to do it online! We hope to have this program up and running within the next week or two, so stay tuned!

In the meantime, who is open for public play today??
