The 2024 Firecracker Open (aka "Goofy
Golf") is back! The tournament will
be played in my yard (306 W. 57th
St. in Hinsdale), starting at about 17:00 (5:00pm) on June
29.
YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO PLAY TO ENJOY THE
PARTY AND FESTIVITIES! For those not interested in hitting the
links, socialization and several other games will
be available.

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 at each hole. Some holes have fun water
hazards (kiddie pool), obstacles (Big Boy statue) 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.

Tee
times start around 17:00(5:00pm). Last tee time s/b around
19:30(7:30pm) 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
(there will be clubs available too). As the name implies,
this is meant to be fun and not super competitive.
Please
avoid discussions on religion, politics, work, cooties, etc.
This is meant to be a light-hearted/fun occasion.

Please forward the invite to others who
may be interested in coming and playing the course
(including well-behaved children).
