The 2016 Firecracker Open (aka "Goofy
Golf") is scheduled for July02! As usual, the tournament will be played in
my yard (306 W. 57th St. in Hinsdale), starting at about 4:30pm
YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO PLAY TO ENJOY THE PARTY AND FESTIVITIES!
__________________________________
Goofy Golf is a backyard 18 hole 'miniature' (not to be confused
with 'putt-putt') golf course. Navigating the course is
accomplished by hitting your wiffle golf ball toward
a child sized styrofoam life
preserver. Some holes have fun obstacles such as water hazards (kiddie pool) or
rough (unmowed grass). Obviously no expense is spared
on the Goofy Golf tour. A keen blade, a calm hand, and nerves of steel are
vital to survive the course.
We will hold a cookout during/after the Firecracker Open
(courtesy of my awesome neighbor Mr Bennett). Please
bring your own meat for cooking. It's a great way to enjoy the 19th hole as you
come back to the Clubhouse. As always, bring along other foods/beverages
that may add a little 'style' to the party.
For those interested in playing, we will have tee times starting
around 4:30pm. Last tee time s/b around 7:30 so the course can get picked up
before the insects take over. All are invited to play. If you have a couple of
high-numbered golf clubs/wedges, please bring them (hopefully there will be a
couple of spares available too). As the name implies, this is meant to be fun
and generally not very competitive.
THIS
IS A KID-FRIENDLY EVENT. (WELL-BEHAVED) CHILDREN ARE WELCOME TO PLAY THE COURSE.
For those not interested in hitting the links,
socialization and several other games will be available. As always, please
curb the discussions on work/religion/politics....this is meant to be a
light-hearted/fun occasion.
LAST YEAR’S EVENT INCLUDED
SEVERAL UNWANTED GUESTS HANGING AROUND IN THE HOUSE FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS:
MOSQUITOES! GUESTS ARE EXPECTED TO CLOSE
THE DOOR BEHIND THEM WHEN GOING IN/OUT. IN ADDITION, THE COURSE WILL “SHUT DOWN”
EARLIER THIS YEAR TO ABATE THE PROBLEM.

Please forward the invite to others who may be interested in
coming...especially those wanting to play the course.
