The latest addition to my bag is the TaylorMade Burner. I switched from the Nike Ignite and gained 10 - 15 more yards. Of course, every golfer is different, so this might be more relevant for women golfers who are 5'4" with a club head speed around 80 -85 MPH.

Favorite New England Golf Courses
Here are my 3 favorite New England golf courses.
What are yours?
1. The Oaks at the International in Bolton, MA. This is a private golf course designed by Tom Fazio. Carved out of the natural landscape, the Oaks has dramatic elevation changes and incredible views. Fazio used the land to create natural hazards and other challenges, yet the fairways are wide enough to keep the frustration level to a minimum for the average golfer. When you play the Oaks, you feel like you and your playing partners are the only ones on the course creating the atmosphere of a five-star resort. There are no condos surrounding the course, the service is first class and the food is fabulous. I highly recommend the International ice cream to finish off a delectable dinner.
2. The North Course at Lake of Isles. A Rees Jones design, this public course is owned by Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation and located on 900 acres of pictorial landscape across the street from Foxwoods Resort Casino in Ledyard, CT. I played Lake of Isles during a company outing. It is one of the most spectacular golf courses that I've ever played. The views are incredible. You travel over wooden bridges through the woods to the next hole that has an even more magnificent view than the previous one. The Pequots "spared no expense" in building this course. Just remember to bring extra golf balls, which is the reason that I ranked this course 2nd to the Oaks. There are a lot of forced carries and lots of trouble. If your swing is slightly off, you could spend the majority of the day taking a drop for yet another penalty stroke. I hope to get a chance to play this course again in the Fall.
3. Newport National in Newport, RI. Designed by Arthur Hill and Drew Rogers, the Orchard Course at Newport National Golf Club runs along The Sakonnet Passage, Atlantic Ocean and Narragansett Bay. I like this course because it plays like the Oaks. The women have a big advantage off the tee, which is always fun, the fairways are wide and the ocean view is gorgeous.
