It's approaching the end of the golf season in Connecticut, but pleasant golf can still be had with little luck in the weather department. I was fortunate enough to get a great day for a scramble tournament at Stanley Golf Course in New Britain, Connecticut.

Stanley is one of the better public courses in central Connecticut. On this beautiful September day the conditions were excellent. The course was green all around. Fairways and greens were in good shape.

Stanley is a good course with challenging and score-able holes, but what sets Stanley apart are the carts. The golf carts at Stanley are equipped with GPS units. The units tell you everything about the golf course. All you have to do is drive up to you ball, and the cart tells you how far your drive traveled, how far to the pin, how far to the front of the green, back of the green, sand traps, water, etc. It even gives tips on how to best play the hole. When you first hear about the GPS it sounds like something unnecessary, and perhaps to some extent it is. We've all been playing golf for years without GPS. However, it is definitely a fun feature. Even without the GPS, Stanley would be a fine golf course, but I would recommend checking out Stanley Golf Course to try the GPS.
