It’s time for the latest installment of “putting the lipstick on the pig,” at the dog track known as Colonial Charters Golf & Comedy Club. Same old layout that had been closed for almost 3-years, but this one is three football fields shorter. They say things like “Ten holes are practically entirely new.” What the Hell does that mean? Let’s just say they’ve monkeyed with the layouts of 15 holes, added ponds, bunkering and green contours to two and one stayed the same. Who cares, they’re only opening for a couple of months, and then they’re going to close to replant their fairways and greens. See why we call it a comedy club? It lies in the heart of the low-lying Highway 9 corridor, but they say they have fixed their flooding problems with ponds and better drainage, and it’s got three waterfalls when they really need a wishing well. As to trying to figure out what these clowns have in store for us next, we’d have a better shot at finding out when “The Donald” will be coming out of the closet, than getting a handle on their antics, so stay tuned.
