Golf, Not For Everyone.

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Ward County Notary Services 607851

Allowing people to bring their pets to the golf course would be very unhealthy for the pet. Most golf courses use a lot of chemicals to keep their fairways and greens looking their best, this would be very bad for guinea pigs wanting to munch on the greens.

The cartoon above was inspired by and created for The Northern Sentry Newspaper. The Northern Sentry is the Minot Air Force Base newspaper.

The article written by Erin Beene. Points of interest are: 

Although the golf course is on base property you can enter it without going through the base gates.

It's a nine hole course with a putting green, chipping green, and picnic area.

Course hours are M-F 9AM to Dusk & Sat/Sunday 8AM to dusk.

The paper includes some reviews and the main theme seems to be, "It's Fun!!!".

Do you enjoy the cartoons written by my son (Timmothy N. Timm) which I use as a springboard to write my daily posts? His strip, Titus & Philemon, has run in two newspapers for years as well as being printed in my blog every day. Titus & Philemon (pronounced Phi - Lee -Man) are guinea pigs. Their owner is Joe. Timmothy has never repeated a joke/comic strip in the 12 years he has been writing it. He has never copied another strip, such as Peanuts or Garfield. You can follow Timmothy on FB as Titus & Philemon and you can also check him out on Instagram as Instagram.com/titus and philemon/ .For Timmothy's website type timmtimmothy.com into your browser. I tried to put it in a link here but it refuses to work. Do NOT put anything in front of timmtimmothy.com or it will not work.

Good morning, Bob... golf is definitely not my game. My astigmatism is just too severe. And somehow, it would never have occurred to me to even think about bringing my dog to a golf course.

Nina Hollander, Broker I have actually seen dogs on the course and they have a blast with all the open space. To bad you don't like golf... I was hoping we could play around. 😍

Good morning, Bob "RealMan" Timm! Timmothy’s latest cartoon featuring Titus and Philemon is absolute perfection—guinea pigs pondering the health hazards of golf course fairways always brings a great morning smile! Your posts are such a wonderful blend of local Minot charm, military base community highlights, and lighthearted fun that brightens the whole ActiveRain community. Thank you for sharing another delightful and smile-worthy start to the weekend. Wishing you and your family a fantastic, relaxing, and wonderful weekend ahead!

Good morning Bob. Golf is not my game I used to play if the word play is used loosely. It became so frustrating that it was time to give it up. If people were allowed to bring pets when I was playing my nickname would soon be "the assassin". I was an expert at yelling "fore". Enjoy your day.

LOL! I can relate to inerrant shots Wayne Martin but I actually was pretty good. I just plain lost interest after 2011 when I lost all of my equipment in the flood.

Golf is great. Whenever I can't sleep I just turn on the Golf Network...I am out in 10 minutes or less.

That would be a better solution than bowling Jeffrey DiMuria 321.223.6253 Waves Realty , those pins can make quite a racket.

I used to play a lot of golf, and I don't recall ever seeing a guinea pig roaming the course, haha.

Expert guidance. Exceptional results.

Loved this piece, Bob "RealMan" Timm. It’s funny how a simple day on the greens can turn into a whole adventure, especially with those guinea pigs in the mix. Thanks for sharing the details and the laughs, it made my coffee taste a little brighter today :)

Good evening Bob,

I love Timothy's latest cartoon and admit to liking playing golf but not anymore. I would never think of bringing a dog to a golf course. Why?? It would be like brining a 2 year old....how can you concentrate on the game?
