Massachusetts: Here’s How You Can Play Golf In Fenway Park

Author Jeff Gorra

Forget hitting baseballs inside Fenway Park. This November, golf balls will be flying through the air. The Boston Red Sox announced yesterday that the “Fenway Swing” golf experience will take place from November 1 -5.

This is an immersive golf experience produced by REVELXP fan experiences. “Players will have the chance to hit golf balls at on-field targets staged at various distances,” the Red Sox say.

But Hit From Where?

Bays will be set up over the bleacher section inside Fenway Park. In addition, there will be various targets within the stadium. Players then hit a golf ball off the tee within the bay and aim at the targets. Each golf shot is then traced and scored via TrackMan technology.

Ticket Information

It is suggested to reserve tee times in advance. They will be available in one-hour increments. Each bay can accommodate six players. Furthermore, golf clubs will be provided as players are not allowed to bring their own clubs inside Fenway Park. Tickets will go on sale starting this Friday, September 15.

There will be two ticket options available to purchase for “Fenway Swing” golf this year. A general admission ticket will cost $85. Each bay must be booked in its entirety. Next, VIP packages will also be offered. This option will include a $25 credit to put towards food and beverage. You will also receive a gift bag featuring exclusive event merchandise.

“The game is family-friendly and designed to be enjoyed by all skill levels,” the Red Sox state.

The remaining schedule at Fenway Park for this fall includes a Red Sox series vs. the Yankees, White Sox, and Rays. Their home series wraps up on September 27 vs. Tampa before the team finishes the season in Baltimore. Prior to the “Fenway Swing” golf event, the Fenway Chef series will take place on Friday, September 29.

What are the Boston Red Sox Retired Numbers?

Boston Red Sox left fielder Alex Verdugo wears number 99. Closer Kenley Jansen wears number 74. At first glance, you may think these are not typical baseball uniform numbers. The organization has 11 options that are immediately unavailable. The Red Sox retired numbers include 10 players that are forever Yawkey Way legends, and one player who is forever a MLB legend.

The Red Sox first retired a uniform number in 1984. It was #4 which belonged to Joe Cronin, who spent 48 years in baseball. The nod was to honor the fact that Cronin was a player, manager, and executive with Boston. Five days later (May 29, 1984) the Red Sox retired Ted Williams’ #9. It would be four years until another number was retired with Bobby Doerr.

In April of 1997 all of Major League Baseball retired #42 in honor of Jackie Robinson.

Walking into Fenway Park you will see banners draped along the outside walls of the stadium honoring each player who has their number retired. You will also see them displayed high above right field inside the park, complimenting the Pesky pole.

So, if you are catching a game this year and wondering why a starting pitcher like Nick Pivetta is sporting #37, it’s important to know what his options were to select from. Here are the Red Sox retired numbers.
