Current Goal

NEW MISSION (Updated 09/19/07)
Grampy has relocated from Boston to Tennessee since we released this bug a few years ago. We will post the name of the Golf Club we'd like to have this bug arrive at within the next 2 weeks. Please don't move it out of the state of Tennessee!

If you're a golfer, please take the bug with you for a round of golf in your area and take a picture of it with you and your golfin' buds. Or, in case it's not good golfin' weather, just include a note about your best or worst golf moment...

Hopefully this little guy will end up with quite a few good stories before arrivin' at Grampy's new golf club.

Thanks! the Jambaloobas

About This Item

Golfin' with Grampy

This is one of two logo balls we picked up from Quaboag while golfing in June of 2002 with my step-dad. When the vows were spoken a day later, "Grampy" officially got himself a new wife, 2 new sons, 2 new daughters-in-law, and three new grandkids. This is just a sentimental way to make sure he knows he's appreciated. (if you toss in a golf story including a dad or grand-dad, you get bonus points ;)

This one was about to roll into a water hazard so we thought we'd move him farther east and visit a golf course or two along the way.

  • Grampy at college Outside the University of Missouri - Rolla golf course. Grampy's going to be an engineer!
  • ¡Cuba si - Castro no! Outside the Cuba (MO) country club, just off old Route 66.
  • putt putt anyone? outside Arielle's miniature golf course, in Land Between the Lakes near Paducah KY. Cool 1890's sort of spot.

Moving the TB from a cache that doesn't get hit very often,might have better luck with this one :)

Well I have the ball again. I have inadvertently run the wrong way with this ball twice. I recall picking this thing up in Rochester and driving it to Acron. Then, months later I drove Madmann to Rochester, where he picked it up, and I drove him and it 50 miles west for a second time. Oops! I'll try to get this thing moving in the right direction soon.
