Golfing in Maine

Stephen King has probably done more for drawing attention to the state of Maine than anyone else in the entertainment/media business. The problem is that he has basically put forth the notion that the state is haunted. What a shame he never wrote for a golf magazine because he could put forth a wealth of material on the little known fact that Maine is home to some of the absolute best golfing in New England as the Booth Bay Country Club proves. This is an excellent resort located in the very family friendly environment that also boasts a national collegiate golf tournament that is bound to draw large crowds.
