BLUE ROCK ANNOUNCES NEW “GOLF AFTER HOURS” LEAGUE

The Blue Rock Golf Course is excited to announce a new “Golf After Hours” league with a focus on fun and flexibility. League play will take place every Tuesday May 3rd – October 18th.  Golfers will be able to choose to play for one week, once a month or every week, whenever it’s convenient for them, with no commitment. There is no need to become an official “member” and golfers can come as foursomes or be matched with other golfers. The “pay as you play” fee structure is $20 per golfer per week and includes 9 holes of golf, light hors d’oeuvres in the clubhouse and tournament prizes each week with optional pools available.

PGA Head Professional Patrick Fannon looks forward to the start of this new style of league, “It’s a great opportunity for friends or coworkers to play golf and meet new people. Oftentimes golfers are interested in playing in a league but are concerned about adding another ongoing commitment to their schedules. This casual, flexible format allows golfers to play according to their availability.” League golfers are welcome to arrive anytime between 4pm and 530pm starting May 3rd with summer tee times shifting one hour later. Interested golfers should contact the pro shop at 508-398-9295 for more details. Throughout the season, the league information will be updated at www.golfafterhours.com.

MAYFLOWER BLOOMS ANEW ON MAIN STREET, HYANNIS

Arthur Pappas of Cotuit is a family man. He’s in business with his sons at his Orexi specialty foods store at the corner of Barnstable Road and Main Street in Hyannis, and the men he worked with to build 5,500 square feet of new retail space nearby at 326-330 Main St. speak of him as almost a brother.

At the public opening of Mayflower Shops April 5, Davenport Companies President Dewitt Davenport noted the “extra effort” Pappas took with the details of the building Davenport’s company built. Davenport said he was impressed that Pappas “made such a commitment to downtown Hyannis.”

Architect Peter Brown agreed. “This is an act of courage on Arthur Pappas’ part,” he said of his client and friend. Brown praised town officials, especially Building Commissioner Tom Perry and Growth Management Director Jo Anne Miller Buntich, for their guidance. He said he’s pleased with the way the building fits into the context of its surroundings.

All that remains now is to see what business or businesses will find a fit in the new building. Interested parties can call the Pappas Family Realty Corporation at 508-428-7319.
