Absolutely. Family and friends are welcome to attend and cheer on the participants, free of charge.

To be close to the courses, we would recommend staying north of Boston near Amesbury. Surrounding towns such as Newburyport, MA and Seabrook, NH are also great options. There are many hotels in the area and Air BnBs or VRBOs are also a good option.

Here are three hotels that are in close proximity:

Amesbury, MA:

Hampton Inn - 284 Elm St, Amesbury, MA 01913, (978) 834-5080

Fairfield Inn By Marriott Amesbury - 35 Clarks Rd, Amesbury,

It may be cheaper to ship your FlingsStick to your hotel than check it on an airplane. Check with your hotel about their shipping policy.
