Tues Mar 24, Indoor Mini Golf and Happy Hour 2:00 pm. We had so much fun with Mini Golf last summer, so let’s take it in inside! Play 9 holes at Puttshack in the Oak Brook Mall (near Nordstrom). Meet at Puttshack by 2:00 pm and get ‘registered’ to a golf ball which will keep score for you. Cost is $14.00/pp and it takes about 45 minutes to play. Then we will travel to the Yard House - Lombard just west on Butterfield Road (near Dick’s Sporting Goods) to recap and celebrate our scores during their happy hour 3-6 pm. The Happy Hour special is ½ off on appetizers and $2.00 off on beer, wine and cocktails.
If interested, send e-mail to Cheryl Skurkis (bcskiies@aol.com ) and indicate if coming for golf and/or happy hour. If you RSVP on Meetup, make sure you indicate if you will be coming to the Mini Golf, the Happy Hour or Both activities so Cheryl has the correct headcount for the Puttshack and also for Yard House.
