1857.0. "Desperately seek a golf green" by MSE1::HOWES () Tue Mar 22 1994 11:52

	Fellow Lads and Lassies of the great old game,

	Because we can't take any more winter, a group of us are
	in desperate need to "whack the old white round thing" this 
	weekend.

	We called the Cape Cod country club, but they were already
	booked until 2:00 PM, which wouldn't leave enough time
	to get in a full 18 holes, especially on a crowded course. 
	Does anyone know of any other courses within a two hour ride 
	from Maynard that may be open this weekend. Preferably (we were 
	hoping) one that is just North of Cape Cod.

	Because we are desperate, the conditions don't matter, i.e.
	snow still on the ground, temporary greens, muck to our ankles,
	and even the bar not being open would not be a deterrent to
	us making the trip.


		Thanks, desperately seeking green, /jack

1857.1Bay PointeBROKE::MOOKWhere are you between two thoughts?Tue Mar 22 1994 15:336
I played Bay Pointe (near Onset Bay in Wareham) last Wed. and was pretty 
impressed.  All greens (-1) were open and all tees.  Some long par 4's but
some really short ones too.  Long par 3's.  Last exit before Cape (exit 1 off
25 I think).

1857.2Bay Pointe (already booked)MSE1::HOWESTue Mar 22 1994 17:4012
    
    Bob,
    
    Thanks for the note. They were already all booked up for Saturday.
    They take tee times four days in advance, i.e. started first thing
    this morning. When I called, about 2:00 PM they were already
    booked. It's too bad, because I played there about three years
    ago, enjoyed myself, but I couldn't remember the name of the place.
    
    			again thanks /j
1857.3Last, but not least!CTHQ::OCONNORTue Mar 22 1994 18:085
    I called Quashnet Valley this morning at eight sharp and got the Pro as
    he was walking in. I was lucky, I got the last time they had available
    for Sunday, 11:57 a.m. At least I will get in just before dark!

1857.4SUCESS (at last) come on Spring!MSE1::HOWESThu Mar 24 1994 12:0515
    
    				SUCCESS (at last)
    
    Owing to the fact that I hate to leave a story without an ending
    we finally had success. After many calls to many places we were able 
    to book two back to back foursomes at North Hill C.C. in Duxbury
    for this upcoming Saturday. According to the Management, the course
    may even be dry enough to allow the use of carts. Which will make
    the round even more pleasurable. After all, I hate lugging around
    a golf bag with the extra weight needed for a twelve pack of favorite
    beverage. Now that close to the cape is open I can only wonder when
    Stow-Away will be opened?
