The magical world of Renaissance

By CARLEY D. THORNELL

It may have been love at first sight when Brian and Victoria (Pero) Coffey saw the “Beauty and the Beast”– like ballroom at Renaissance Country Club in Haverhill. But it wasn’t quite that way at the beginning, when they met as co-workers.

100 years later, John Donohue is still the guy to beat at Winthrop

By BOB ALBRIGHT

Of all the possible ceremonies discussed as part of Winthrop Golf Club’s 100th anniversary this summer, there was one that proved to be a no-brainer for the centennial committee: rename the club championship trophy for the guy who has won 20 percent of the titles in the club’s 100-year history.

Looking back at Salem’s rich history

The crowd at Salem Country Club looks on as Glenna Collett Vare tees off during the 1932 Women’s Amateur Championship.

By ANNE MARIE TOBIN

If history has anything to do with it, this year’s U.S. Senior Open at Salem Country Club is going be a real doozy.

At the 2001 Senior Open, eight players were within two shots of the lead on the back nine. Five of them – Jack Nicklaus, Isao Aoki, Jim Colbert, Larry Nelson and eventual champion Bruce Fleisher – were even par and held shares of the lead.

On Labor Day weekend in 1916, a scenic golf course was unveiled off the old Newburyport Turnpike in Newbury promising unparalleled views of the

By BETH BRESNAHAN

When we visited Nahant Golf Club at Kelley Greens soon after the first of the year the clubhouse was covered in sawdust and the walls were being stripped down to the studs. Play It As It Lies Golf Management Inc., the course’s new management team led by partners Anthony De Dominicis and John Moore, shared they were transforming the former clubhouse into a facility that offered patrons a fine dining experience, a nice bar and lounge.

Sagamore plans a Masters-ful change on 9th hole

If the newly-designed ninth hole at Lynnfield’s Sagamore Spring Golf Course looks familiar, don’t be surprised if Dave Loggins’ iconic theme music, “The Masters” (yes, that music), pops into your head as you approach the green. That’s because, well, the hole has been cleverly renovated to replicate the treacherous par-3 12th hole at Augusta National Golf Club.
