Globe columnist takes a 9-iron to Wellesley Country Club
By bbrown | Published: January 7, 2011
Boston Globe Metro columnist Brian McGrory reaches into his bag of golfing terms and beats the Wellesley Country Club over the head with them today in a column titled “This one’s a bogey” regarding the WCC’s controversial effort to put a big maintenance shed on picturesque Brookside Road.
Stealing a page from the Boston Herald, McGrory resorts to good old fashioned Wellesley bashing, with obligatory BMW SUV, designer jeans and Hermes scarves references, glorying in this rich vs. rich tussle (though he somehow refrained from using the words “posh” and “tony”).
In the end, McGrory acknowledges meeting with a pleasant enough rep from the WCC, but comes down against the club’s plans, which have been fought publicly by neighbors and questioned by the town. He also notes that the WCC has started to make compromises, such as cutting the size of the planned maintenance building and finding a different spot for an equipment washing facility.
