Update of the update: The WCC update in this blog was apparently from last week, and has not been removed. They are still planning on opening this weekend.
I had update on the blog I published earlier about the Wachusett Country Club owner defying the lockdown and opening up golfing this week after this announcement was brought to our attention.
It would appear at first glance as if Cara Cullen gave in. It would also appear as if she used Fox News, Turtleboy, and the rest of the media to give her free advertising and praise her for telling Charlie Baker that he can take his lockdown and shove it up his ass. But since the “update” wasn’t really an update, and was just something they hadn’t taken down on their website, there really isn’t any update here at all.
However, let’s see how this plays out. If she meets with Karyn Polito and gets her to cave and let golf courses across the state open right after the meeting, then she’s a genius. If she meets with Polito and takes more of her bullshit about “let’s wait and see,” then we’ve been duped. My money is on the former, since she’s a turtle rider.

Hello Turtle Riders. As you know if you follow Turtleboy we are constantly getting censored and banned by Facebook for what are clearly not violations of their terms of service. Twitter has done the same, and trolls mass reported our blog to Google AdSense thousands of times, leading to demonitization. We can get by and survive, but we could really use your help.

I think it’s maybe a little bit of both. The reality is that if businesses started reopening by and large, there isn’t much Baker will be able to do about it except reopen, declare victory, and move on without this being a political disaster for him. National media have already picked up on fining folks who don’t wear masks, and are lumping him in with that loon in Michigan. Let’s all remember that this is largely voluntary, and we are all acting in good faith. Unfortunately, we’ve let the Karens of the world run the roost and shout folks down all over the place. Enforcement of the new mask rule falls to local municipalities and PD departments-most of which have already indicated fines won’t be issue, because who wants to fine someone $300 when the state is at 20% unemployment.
Also, none of this really makes sense. Think about it; liquor stores are essential – why? Because they bring in sin tax revenue to the state. You can’t possible tell me that it isn’t as safe to go to church while masked and respecting social distancing than it is to buy a pack of Newports and sixer of Bud Ice.
Some of the larger businesses, at least in greater Worcester, are already talking about opening regardless of what the Governor does. He will of course meet with them and make everything seem coordinated to avoid the embarrassment of everyone calling out this fraud for what it is.
Liquor stores are open for the sin tax, and because the DTs (withdrawal) is a medical condition which would occupy hospital beds unnecessarily. Hardcore alcoholics do not tend to store booze for 7 week stretches.
Wachusett and Kettlebrook have mini monopoly on golf in the greater Worcester Area. The courses are great, but since they are always packed, they never really care about the customer service. They want you to have a “kind of good time”. At Wachusett there could be a three group back up on a hole, and they got a guy driving around on a cart checking to see if you brought your own beer on the course, not caring at all that your waiting 15-20 minutes on each hole to hit. Meanwhile, they have no refreshment cart going around. They do have snack shacks, but many times they aren’t even open. This is the problem when there is not much competition, hopefully Wachusett and Kettlebrook will open back up soon, because they are amazing courses, but hopefully they will also think about their loyal customers and change their mantra from “have a kind of good time” to have a “great time”.
Let the rioting began white guys can play golf but the coloreds cant play basketball. Don’t forget to mask up when looting stores.
Take this blog down you fucking moron. You have the facts completely wrong here.
You should probably offer corrections otherwise you just full of shit.
Karyn Polito. Mmmmm.
Golf is dying anyways, she needs all the publicity she can get!
Golf is essential to releasing ones frustrations.
Golf is a lot like life. The fewer strokes you have the better.
ummm….
Uncle,
Bristol was a Turtlerider not long ago, for personal gain.
She’s saying it loudly and she’s saying it clearly!
FUCK!
THE!
POLICE!!!!!!
Fuck The Police… That’d be a great name for a cop dating site.
Ha ha ha. You have no idea.
I did beat the HELL out of anti-Semite punk with my 3 iron once! Damn, he was spitting some teeth.
Fucking love golf. I love Wachusett too. Nice course. Walk the front nine. Beautiful. Can’t fucking wait to play.
Polito’s alright. Local girl. Good party follower. She’ll do well. I’ll put a checkmark next to her name.
Be the ball Danny. Be the ball.
I used to think Baker/Polito were good soldiers, they have donned their sheep attire well for the left. Less concerned on a golf course than at the supermarket or Home Depot. All these business’ forced to stay closed but have to pay taxes.
no you didn’t
You have the timing wrong. They were going to open last week but held out for meeting with Polito. I think they’re done waiting and want to open.
Vote for Genius.
DOH Is the kind of guy that has $123 in his checking account and $8900 on his credit card and a total loser
Who the fuck?
Polito is running for Governor. This pandemic economic fallout will hurt her chances when this all shakes out ( a lot of politicians will loose seats when the budgets are not like they use to for services) . She’s trying to save face.
That message refers to last weekend. May 2nd and 3rd. They already met with Polito
If Jen’s worried about bills, I can offer her twenty bucks, the HARD way!
Hey Jen’s alright but her ass still has marks where the jockey was hittin it
TB has turned into Breitbart
Continuous bullshit story after story
Hey everybody! We’re all gonna get laid!
If she is a legit turtle rider then I’m giving her the benefit of the doubt. Take it to them!!! Fuck Baker
Hey if she’s got the green I’ve got the one wood ya know what I mean?
Sorry. My niece is the kind of girl who has a certain… zest of living. The last thing any of us need right now is a lot of loose talk about her behavior.
Last time I saw a mouth like that it had a hook in it!
Did that hat come with a bowl of soup?
Looks good on you, tho
“We have great respect for Lt. Governor for Karen Polito…”
SAID NO ONE EVER.
You have the timeline mixed up. The meeting with the LT Governor already took place last Saturday. Her comments yesterday to Fox are her frustration with getting no definitive answer to when golf will open in Mass. Hopefully the open and let the chips fall where they may
TB publish an inaccuracy?
This is my shocked face.
Big inaccuracy. Needs a quick retraction
He must have been thinking about Kirk Minihane again and got all wet and forgot what he was doing
Clock is ticking. Ripping her under false pretenses isn’t the TB way. Hopefully the retraction is coming with a fully apology and explanation of his mistake.
Yeah Ill hold my breath waiting for TB to admit a mistake.
LOL, OK Scoop.
This has to be a world record reversal, even for you.
Golf course owners ARE NOT “HEROES” you schmuck. They are rich assholes who make money off other rich assholes and don’t mind if some die because they have a waiting list.
Hey buddy do everyone a favor and wash my balls OK?
You’ll get nothing, and like it!
Geez Now I understand why tigers eat their young!
Give her the benefit of the doubt. She’s never sought attention before and appears to just want to open her business. She has more balls than the Governor.
Hey she’s alright she musta been something before electricity
You’re no gentleman!
Hey whitey, where’s your mask?
You! You! You have worn out your welcome at Bushwood, sir!
If all of the golf courses just opened Baker would cave. He has no balls. He is a follower. He hasn’t led anything. Just open. He can’t shut you all down. He can’t he enforce the mask rule. He has no control. Golf is safe. Golf is good. Play through.
get that windmill turning!
