This morning, as I pulled into Golf House at TPC Boston, eight truckloads of cars were being delivered to the course. When I look out the office windows, I can see tents being assembled. Downstairs, there is an added buzz to the office as LPGA staff members work in and around the building. Excitement is in the air as professional golf makes its way back to the Bay State!
For this month, we are bringing to you a list regarding the FM Championship at TPC Boston, in Norton, Mass.
At the time of writing this, we are ONE WEEK from Round 1. Yesterday, at Worcester CC, Lillian Guleserian and Carys Fennessy qualified for the championship’s Monday Qualifier to be held at TPC Boston on August 26.

Now here are some local things for you to know about outside of FM Championship golf:
If you get the itch to swing a club after watching the Pros play at TPC Boston, less than 10 minutes down the road is The Links at Mass Golf is a short par 3 course that is a great place to play 9 holes in an hour. It is the perfect place for new/beginner golfers and young golfers.
Tasty’s Bagels is a great place for both breakfast and lunch food before or after you are at the championship.
The Best Sandwich and the Produce Barn are office favorites for lunch sandwiches just down the road from TPC Boston.
GOAT City Pub for dinner is also just a few minutes away from the course.
Mansfield Crossing Shopping Plaza has a variety of dining and shopping options just an exit down I495.
