8 a.m. Tee Time and Tipple?

12/12/2013

A New England golf course wants the tippling to start at much earlier tee times.  Trull brook currently starts selling beer at 11a.m. but wants to roll back  beer o’clock to 8 a.m.  It still has to get by a town council vote but indications from the local paper are that it will pass.

"I was just a little taken aback that people would start drinking at 8 in the morning," he said this week, David Gay, a board of Selectmen member who will be voting on the decision told the area paper, the Lowell Sun.

 "From what they said, that's not unusual for tournaments ... I understand what they're trying to do, and I'm not going to kill it.”

Pre-Breakfast Beer Notoriety

Pre breakfast beer notoriety, this splendid Geoffrey Cornish track which meanders along the Merrimack River was best known for its historical significance.  The golf course sits on a pasture once owned by one Captain John Trull who commanded the Tewksbury Minutemen and helped to warn that the British were coming.  Trull fired a trio of warning shots across the Merrimack river, a pre-arranged signal, then saddled up and rode like lightening in the thick of the night into town to gather his men.
