THE COURSE
William J. Devine Golf Course at Franklin Park was established October 26, 1986 and is the second oldest public golf course in the nation behind Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx borough of New York City.
William J. Devine Golf Course at Franklin Park is the place where the leading figures of golf converge in history: The player who won America's first professional match became the first head professional here (Willie Campbell); the youngster who ushered the American game to the forefront of the world stage honed his craft here (Bobby Jones); the world's premier golf architect re-designed the layout here (Donald J. Ross).
THE COMPETITION
Nine teams will tee-off Wednesday morning including GNAC member Emmanuel. Babson, Daniel Webster, Mitchell, Nichols, Roger Williams, Wentworth and host Newbury will also take the course alongside the Rams.
RUNDOWN ON THE RAMS
Boasted by two top returners in Matt Rosenberg and Mike Rockwell Suffolk will look to its six newcomers to step in early and help the Rams improve upon its fourth-place finish at the conference's tournament in 2014.
WHAT'S NEXT
Suffolk will use its time on the historical course wisely as it will be back at Franklin Park in two weeks for the Saint's Invitational Saturday, Oct. 7. Before returning to Franklin Park, the Rams will head to Elmcrest Country Club this weekend for the two-day Blazers Invitational.
