Nothing says summer like a trip up to "The County" with our good friends. The girls goof off at Mantle Lake Park in my wife's hometown of Presque Isle, Maine.
On the return trip from Bethel, we hit the inaugural Live + Work in Maine Open. It's a new stop on the Korn Ferry tour. Here I chat up a professional caddy nicknamed "Shaggy" after his round. He walked me through the tools of the trade and invited us down to Brookline, MA where he loops for a living and where the US Open will be played in 2022.
We headed up to Bethel, Maine. Bethel is a winter town in the western mountains. In the summer it is very sleepy and charming. I'm standing on the deck of the nearby Sunday River golf course where we grabbed lunch.
