			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-787" title="Winter view of 9th hole | Bay Club Mattapoisett" src="http://bayclubmatt.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/new-years-day-2-300x225.jpg" alt="Winter view of 9th hole | Bay Club Mattapoisett" width="300" height="225" /> The Bay Club at Mattapoisett recently acquired snowshoes for the Sports and Activities Center allowing members to enjoy winter hikes on the golf course.  Snowshoeing is wonderful aerobic exercise that also provides the ability to experience the beauty and quiet of the snow-covered course in the off-season.</p>
<p>As part of my New Year&#8217;s resolution to exercise more, I grabbed my husband and our hound and headed out to the 9th hole.  Although the much hyped Christmas nor&#8217;easter did not actually produce an impressive accumulation, it did provide enough snow cover for a wonderful hike.  Along the way we discovered the new burm constructed late last fall on Hole #11, and I secretly crossed my fingers hoping it was the snow cover making it look so ominous.  We also paused at the new tee box on Hole #9 which has my husband itching for Spring; I on the other hand observed that the drive over the water now looks impossibly long.</p>
<p>When we finished our hike, my husband chose to head to the club&#8217;s <a href="../winter-indoor-golf-practice-center/">Indoor Golf Practice Center</a> while I enjoyed a <img class="size-medium wp-image-786 alignright" title="Bay Club Mattapoisett MA | Golf Course Real Estate" src="http://bayclubmatt.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/New-Years-Day-300x225.jpg" alt="Bay Club Mattapoisett MA | Golf Course Real Estate" width="300" height="225" />visit to the steam room at the <a href="../../BCwayoflife_fitness.html">Sports &amp; Activities Center</a>.  Our well exercised dog relished a nice nap in the car.</p>
<p>Using my iPhone camera for the photo shot and the angle of the sun doesn&#8217;t give quality to the view, however I decided it would be nice to share.  For a better look at the club in the warmer weather, please view our <a href="../../BCwayoflife_landing.html">slideshow</a>!</p>
