Why a Golf Club Makes Sense
For readers who live and breathe the game, picking a golf club for a reunion is a smart play. The setting offers open air, room to mingle and that clubhouse charm where stories about long drives and near-misses flow as freely as the lemonade. It’s the kind of place where former teammates can swap memories, and non-golfers can enjoy the green backdrop — a comfortable, familiar landing spot after decades apart.
Other Local Happenings to Watch
The city’s late-summer social calendar has a few more holes in play:
- A retail incubator space is up and running at Dutton and Market streets. It’s a pop-up style spot featuring small businesses in partnership with the city and UpNext, running through December. Hours: Friday 1–5 p.m., Saturday 11 a.m.–6 p.m., Sunday noon–5 p.m.
- The Tewksbury Community Market is back every Thursday through the end of September with 29 vendors, food trucks and local artisans — a good spot to grab post-round snacks or a fresh craft.
- A virtual Transitioning Service Member & Spouse Career Fair is scheduled for August 26, co-hosted by the Disabled American Veterans and RecruitMilitary. It’s free and focused on career opportunities for veterans and spouses.
- For book lovers, Wickham & Willoughby in Dunstable is hosting a romantasy book club on September 14 to discuss titles from the Shepherd King series. Attendees receive a 15% discount on purchases plus complimentary food and beverages.
