      "No changes in our summer plans. We'll drive up to the lake house every weekend in season and fly to the west coast for the holidays. Gas is what it is, and you just have to accept the fact that gas at $1.78/gallon is long gone."

      "I would add HIllview in North Reading, close to Boston, reasonably priced, hardly ever crowded, and with several interesting holes. Sure it's not the most challenging place, but for the price, they keep it in great shape."
