Good Good embarked on a dynamic 50-states-in-50-days golf journey, playing at notable courses from Pennsylvania to New Hampshire. Their Pennsylvania stop featured memorable matches at Nemacolin’s Mystic Rock, where Matthew Ghetti emerged as the state’s winner after a tight three-hole stroke play among Tom Bubbie, Garrett Clark, and himself. The group then ventured to West Virginia’s Alpine Lake Resort, enjoying scenic hiking and a scramble that ended with Scharff, Bubbie, and Clark securing victory amidst the picturesque hills of Terra Alta.
In New York, the team faced a unique and challenging tee-flip format at En-Joie Golf Club, a Champions Tour venue, testing their skills amid firm conditions and gusty winds. Despite a slow start for some players, Scharff’s team maintained their undefeated streak in this three-versus-three match. Vermont brought both beauty and a tough competition at Green Mountain National, where the trio played a rare drop scramble after a gondola ride highlighted by vibrant fall foliage and a festive mountain atmosphere.
The trip concluded in New Hampshire at Waumbek Golf Course, the state’s oldest 18-hole venue, known for its sloped greens that created challenging putts. In a close contest, Clark, Castaneda, and Scharff edged out their opponents by a single stroke in a scramble format. Along the way, the group encountered moments of camaraderie and mechanical mishaps, including a breaker trip in their RV, but the hospitality and landscapes of each state left a strong impression on the participants.
Throughout this leg of their expedition, the Good Good group not only embraced a variety of golf formats but also explored local sights—from drone-captured hikes at Cooper’s Rock to Vermont’s expansive outdoor festival and cider mills. Their travels showcased the diverse golfing experiences across the Northeast, mixing competition with cultural discovery and strengthening their bonds as they journeyed state by state.
