FALMOUTH A proposal is before the Planning Board to convert an almost 100-year old golf course in Hatchville into a solar farm.
In a letter read into the record at the Planning Board s Feb. 23 meeting, David Friel, owner of Cape Cod Country Club on Theatre Drive, cited less business over the last decade has led him to pursue alternate uses for the property.
“The expansion of golf courses on the Cape over the past decade or two and the reduction in the number of golfers nationwide has forced me, from a financial viability standpoint, to consider other land use options for the Cape Cod Country Club,” he said.
SANDWICH – I was skipping stones at Duck Harbor, surely about to eclipse the world record of 88, when my attention was drawn to a boat offshore. Someone was dancing around with signal flags, pausing only to sound an air horn. Oh no, I thought. Semaphore!
This was my own fault. I had commissioned Captain Lou Leaky Tubbs and his patched-up motorboat Knot 2 Shabby to patrol Cape Cod Bay seeking questions for the column. This had been a rather unsatisfactory arrangement so far: judging from his expense report, Leaky required enormous amounts of fried clams, Pabst Blue Ribbon beer and STP gas treatment to even leave port occasionally.
