  • Harris golf empire stretches far

    Aug 17, 2010 10:30 am

    It has been more than 40 years since Dick Harris, 68, began his golf career patrolling the shop, course and practice area as head pro at Auburn’s Martindale Country Club (CC) back in 1967, the Red Sox’ “Impossible Dream” year.

    Since then, the Harris clan, which includes sons Jeff, 45, and Jason, 38, have conjured up their own dream. Today Harris Golf is reportedly the largest privately owned, single operator of golf facilities in New England.

    2005 (10-6) Lost to Denver, 27-13, in AFC Divisional playoffs.

    2006 (12-4) Lost to Indianapolis in AFC Final, 38-34, after leading most of the way.

    2007 (16-0) Lost to New York Giants, 17-14, in the Super Bowl after going undefeated to that point.

    Johnson has been a member of the "Cloud Splitter" team for 12 years. The name comes from the Iroquois phrase for Mt. Marcy, the tallest peak in the Adirondack mountains.
