Cape Club of Sharon Lets Public Play on Golf Course for One Day
Born and raised in Dedham, Massachusetts, Michael Intoccia works as a real estate developer in nearby Sharon. Known as a developer of residential projects in the area, he worked on property owned by Spring Valley Country Club in Sharon. Michael Intoccia secured an investor in May 2016 and began renovations on the clubhouse in January 2017, at which point the club was renamed the Cape Club of Sharon.
During phase 1, which finished in March 2017, the dining areas, conference room, members’ lounge area, and bridal suite received renovations. In addition, the outside of the building underwent vast improvements. Phase 2, which involves the construction of new buildings, begins in late 2017.

“Jimmy” Fund’s Original Patient Lived to Champion the Cause
A Massachusetts-based real estate developer, Michael Intoccia is responsible for the construction of residential properties throughout the state. Over his 30-year career in the field, he has established communities noted for high-quality building methods and luxurious extras in Foxboro, Canton, North Attleboro, and other cities. In addition, Michael Intoccia is a committed philanthropist whose support of the WEEI Jimmy Fund Golf Tournament has extended to opening up his golf club at The Cape Club of Sharon for the 2017 event.
The tournament is dedicated to sending teens with cancer to visit Fort Myers, Florida, to experience spring training with the Boston Red Sox. Named for its first “Jimmy,” Einar Gustafson, the charity continues to fight for more effective treatments and to enrich the lives of young people as they fight the disease.
In the 1940s, Dr. Sidney Farber introduced the plight of the then-12-year-old Gustafson to radio listeners, with the Boston Braves taking up the cause of making his life better. Dr. Farber called all his child patients “Jimmy” or “Jane,” and the name stuck, partly as a means of guarding Gustafson’s privacy. At one time, the people of Massachusetts assumed Gustafson had died in his youth.
However, Gustafson survived and went on to establish a career and family while still living in Massachusetts. “Rediscovered” as an older adult, he became a beloved champion of the fund that had helped save his life. The Red Sox have sponsored the charity since 1953, picking up where the Braves left off.

Keys to a Powerful Golf Swing - Hip Rotation
Real estate developer Michael Intoccia has built over 1,000 homes in the course of his 30-year career. When not overseeing construction projects, Michael Intoccia enjoys playing golf.
Many golf pros are not excessively muscular but can consistently hit balls over 300 yards. Amateurs view such feats with awe. However, with the right approach, they can significantly increase their driving distance.
Tiger Woods is a well-known power swinger. Unlike many amateurs who swing their hips toward the ball on the downswing, inhibiting free flow, Tiger rotates his hips, maintaining the same distance from the ball at the top of his swing and at impact.
Jack Nicklaus, another legendary golfer, also emphasizes a good hip rotation to increase swing power. He recommends a stance with the right foot forward and the left foot turned outward 45 degrees. On the backswing, apply pressure on the right foot, fully extending the club away from the body and creating a wide swing arc. While swinging downward, replant the heel of the left foot while rolling both ankles toward the target line, enabling the hips to uncoil faster and facilitating a powerful rotation for a powerful swing.
