Funspot in the 1980's - "New Game Room - Wolfeboro"?

JG1222 · 08-31-2006, 07:55 AM

I was going through an old scrapbook the other day, and found this miniature golf scorecard from Funspot:

There's no date on it ("Scrapbook" for me is a loosely-used term to describe me as a kid, taping a couple of items onto some construction paper on a rainy day then never touching it again), but I'd guess it's from around 1980 or so.

It was neat to see references to "Storybook Forest" and the "Indian Village". I have memories playing around the "Crooked Man and the Crooked House".

I'm not sure if the holes on the mini golf course are the same as they were back in the 80's, (I'm sure they've changed them to more modern/relevant themes) but the inside of the card lists them as:

Mt. Washington

Summer Cottage

Windmill

Loop the Loop

N.H. Barn

Up & Down

Up & Around (this was my favorite - I used to drill the ball to see how fast it would go, hoping beyond hope it would launch out the other side and break something)

Sap House

Waldo the Whale

Cog Railway

Spindle Point

Railroad Station

N.H. Church

Water Wheel

Kimball's Castle

Outhouse

His & Hers

Almost Over

ANYWAY, this brings me to my question. I don't remember the "New Game Room - Wolfeboro" part. Did Funspot try to open a "satellite" location in Wolfeboro at one time?

Yes they did have one in Wolfeboro for a short time.
