clings with serious, spicy tenacity.

Friday's answer:
Monday means a brand new week and new opportunities to discover more about our amazing town! Are you ready?
For only the second time I took the picture that is our clue and the spot is very near one of our previous places. In fact it is so close that the bottle is acually propped up by that object. Can you name it?
Back to Friday's answer... Mark (I had better things to do) Beyerly was the first to chime in Friday (after going missing Thursday and making us worry) and said in response to our concerned post regarding his where abouts from Thursday "Like
a lost ball, I was missing in the rough..." Ok Mark, thats just fine. Make us worry about you and then make light of it... thats just great! He went on to say "We're running out of golf
courses in Fairfield, so I am going to take a chip-shot in the dark and
guess that this is the Patterson Club in Fairfield." Nice play on words and a correct answer.
Next up was Steve Melnick as he confirmed an earlier suspicion that we had regarding his regularity on the towns courses by posting "The
placement of the bottle is making this very challenging, at first
glance I want to say that this is the 4th hole at the Patterson Club,
where I spent many years as a caddy in my youth, and began my career in
the restaurant business. It could also be the 17th or perhaps somewhere
on H Smith Richardson. My money is on the 4th at PC." I wasn't able to confirm the hole that this was taken on but it sounds to me like you have a good grip on it so we'll give you the thumbs up. Steve went on to point out that my count of 5 golf courses was shy by 1 and in fact there are 6 when he added "BTW if you count
Fairchild Wheeler, we actually have 6 golf courses in town" Keep it in mind as we go forward, there is still a lot of time left in the game.
Our final comment came from Chefmichaelatyourservice and he said "At 6pm its too late to answer, but if this is the PC John O'Brien, Ron Ciappa, Don Kuhn & Maureen Dickman would concur" It was PC and it is never to late to get involved Chef, we are open to new players and new ideas so always feel free to put up your guess when you see the clue. Thanks for helping us with some of the others that had an answer.
Finally, aside from the people that posted and answer there were a handful that "Liked" the picture and another bunch that commented at the store over the weekend. On another note... I sat down with Kendra at the end of the week, she writes for the Minuteman and we spent some time talking about the game and how people have really gotten involved with it. She is going to do a stry for the paper and we'll have a bit of fun with that too. More to come in the next few days...
