At the beach on the sand, like the Professor and Mary Ann.
I thought this one was inspired...the kind I wish I could think of.

Oh, have you been golfing again Joe?
(says the person who only ever played putt-putt golf. And probably left those courses looking even worse than that.)

Yup. On shore. True to form for the last few months. I either get it in two seconds or torture myself all weekend.

Oof tough grid. Meta took more than a cursory glance too, but liked it! Count me ashore

On shore after a bit of a slog through the grid. Found myself in Danvers (not quite Natick) but escaped after a wee bit.
Cheers!

Woo-hoo! On shore. Grid beat me up. Lots of geography, and geography is not my strong point.

Ashore for sure! Grid was tough. Then a big blank. And then it came... Whew, now my life can resume.

Ashore. I wouldn't say it was 1-star easy, but it wasn't quite a 2 for me either.
