NE Mini Golf Tour 2007
With the arrival of CTP to the former colonies, some of us (Glib, pchippy, virtue, RN) have begun hatching plans for a mini-golf tour of New England. The Cape Cod stop will be June 9 – 11. Two campsites have been reserved at Nickerson State Park so far, official courses TBD. With the true arrival of Spring, excursions to the Orange Dinosaur course, Route 1 Saugus, and Richardson’s Ice Cream, Route 114 Middleton are in the offing. Suggestions of other destinations are welcome, pending logistical considerations. Proper attire is mandatory per the Tour Fashion Officer, CTP.

Is nothing sacred?

Three questions:
First, who's going down early in the day on Friday and who has to stay in Boston until the end of the work day?
Second, who's driving?
Third, has C Dub assembled a list of venues yet?

I'm driving, and could probably leave early/midafternoonish. If people have to work, it doesn't make any sense to try and leave before 7:30ish, since you'd just have to deal with the EVIL.
Sayin'.

I'm driving, I'd like to leave early afternoonish, I'm taking day off but I'm sure it will take me a while to be ready to go. We can always look at venues @ Q tonite.

If my boss would just stop giving me work, I might be able to do that, but nuthin' doin' for the time being.
Posted by cdubrocker on 2007-06-06 14:08:57 +0000
I might have to work Fri. morning, depending on the level of workplace desperation.

I'd vote for Bass River Sports World, Pirate's Cove and Cape Escape and lots of ice cream.

According to reviews, it's not as crowded as Pirate's Cove, but still great fun.

Coincidentally(?), these are among the few in the area that also have webpages...what about the lo-tech courses?
Posted by cdubrocker on 2007-06-06 16:35:13 +0000
Just looked at these three - very fancy and modern. It would be good to do a mix of the modern/extravagant and retro/cheeseball courses.
Posted by virtue on 2007-06-06 17:02:42 +0000
I couldn't agree more.

60% chance of showers tomorrow afternoon. Highs all weekend in the low to mid 60s in Brewster.
Could be worse, though.
Pack your tweed.

Chippy looks striking. Is that 'stache' real?

He looks positively dreamy! Love the 'tache!

Did people think you were funny? Looks fun!
Posted by jbcardinale on 2007-06-11 21:27:22 +0000
Fun, indeed. Although I have no pix of eating ice cream, which was a significant part of the tour along with consuming other refreshments along the way.
