Summary

Bang, Zoom, to the Moon with a strange but true New England Legend! Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger take a swing at Pakachoag Golf Course in Auburn, Massachusetts, where near the 9th hole back on March 16, 1926, Robert Goddard launched the world’s first liquid-fueled rocket. If not for what happened here we may never have gone to space, reached the moon, and beyond. Sometimes it takes a dreamer to leap us forward.

Well, I think it's safe to say that we both stank at golf. We do. And it's funny you mention your ball going to the moon, because if it wasn't for something that happened up here on the 9th Fairway, we may have never gone to space or walked on the moon at all. Really? Yeah. We've come to the 9th hole at Packachog Golf Course in Auburn, Massachusetts to witness the launch of the world's first liquid-fueled rocket.
