Some of us remember the one out at Dorney Park, where Office Depot and Carrabas is now. Mulligans is one of thelas tin the LV. There is one down 309 across from Montanas but not sure where else. They are great for developing the short game for youngsters, and adults for that matter. The mini golf course at Mulligans is surprisingly difficult! How many times did you roll a ball up and over a mound with the hole in the middle, or end up past a cup in a trench Bernie?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-41790529907133860022009-07-30T10:19:40.576-04:002009-07-30T10:19:40.576-04:00Blue Meanie, one of the names suggested here.

The par 3 course is very nice. The second is at the driving range on Sullivan trail in Forks. It's not so nice as Mulligan's and uses artificial Ts.Bernie O'Harehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13756311150988957401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-29393909732570881482009-07-30T09:05:22.826-04:002009-07-30T09:05:22.826-04:00You are a good pop-pop Bernie.You are a good pop-pop Bernie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-63545533887924893502009-07-30T08:57:30.272-04:002009-07-30T08:57:30.272-04:00Bernie....are there any " par 3" or &quo...Bernie....are there any " par 3" or "chip and putt" golf courses as I used to call them around here anymore? I'd love to take my 8 year old but can't seem to find any. There used to be one on RT. 309 in Quakertown ( Melody Lakes) but that is gone and of course the one in Dorneyville is LONG gone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-28812091234398509112009-07-30T08:17:53.634-04:002009-07-30T08:17:53.634-04:00Bernie, you're lucky to have him in your life ...Bernie, you're lucky to have him in your life - continue to enjoy!<br /><br />The BankerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-86297903663383451512009-07-30T02:47:37.303-04:002009-07-30T02:47:37.303-04:00Dat displayed courage, conviction and determinatio...Dat displayed courage, conviction and determination.

I had a torn rotator cuff for about six months which affected me but I was too proud (or stupid) to have it looked at. When I did, I needed major surgery and rehab to get it right.<br /><br />He did the right thing in the short run, but teach him not to ignore things and deal with the long term issues!<br /><br />But, what a great display of character and dedication and determination. He will succeed at whatever he sets his mind on, even if it is not a succesful career in sports.
