One of the very unique aspects of Bretton Woods is the variety of activities offered. Golf, tennis, soccer, are the big three, but our ropes course, miniature golf, and pétanque are not to be overlooked. Often, the pétanque court was overlooked, but we just finished up a renovation.
The pétanque court is located near the playground, adjacent
to the clubhouse. Though it has been in this location for many years, it had
been neglected and needed an overhaul. Worn out railroad ties formed the
border. We replaced those with a solid cinder block foundation and a brick top.
The old gravel court surface had been contaminated with soil and weeds. We did
work to keep the weeds out, but over time, enough soil was present, and the
court was used so little, that weeds inevitably returned. Now, we installed a
gravel base layer with a stone dust surface. The stone dust was smoothed and
compacted thoroughly. We finished the project by laying sod around the edge
where construction had disturbed the existing grass.
Our pétanque court is certainly one of our lesser used
amenities. However, after a nice renovation, those who want to try it will have
a nice court on which to play.
Etiquette Reminder of the Month
Golf carts must always remain on cart paths once past the
green and white posts, through the next tee complex. This is not weather
dependent!
Also, as part of a Golf Committee initiative to improve
course etiquette, we have included links to videos teaching proper on course
etiquette. Please take a moment to watch:

See you on the course!
