PUTNAM --- The passion for a middle school activity resurfaced for Patrick Berk --- in the form of Putnam's newest business: Patty B's Golf Shack.
He played golf in middle school and then stopped in high school. When he picked the sport up again he saw that there was a market for the golf shack. It boasts 330 golf courses from around the world in the two state-of-the-art 3-D golf courses. The high tech equipment attached to the screens can analyze everything about a player's game. The business, at 26 Buck St. (just past Cargill Chevrolet's parking lot) can host events. Both bays can be rented, he said. And the doors can be opened.
The business will pursue set ups with local schools' golf teams and perhaps in the future, have a golf pro.
At the ribbon cutting last week, Town Administrator Elaine Sistare brought greetings from Mayor Barney Seney and said she was happy that such an overgrown and under utilitized building was now home to a business, especially important in the Special Service District.

Windham County 4-H Foundation
recognizes community partners
POMFRET — The Windham County 4-H Foundation recently recognized three community partners who have provided special support in the past year . This year’s Community Spirit Awards were given to Big Boys Toys (and the Huff family), Eastford Building Supply and The Sunshine Shop.
For the past few years Big Boy’s Toys has made especially generous donations to our auction. This fall they made a bonus donation of a brand new UTV to use at camp. Carolyn Huff is on the board and 4-H benefits from Huff “boy power” throughout the year at work day events.
Eastford Building Supply has been a Foundation business partner for many years. This past fall they generously donated all new windows towards the remodeling of Mesquite cabin, helping to make it viable to continue as an off-season rental.
The Sunshine Shop has supported fund-raisers with live plants and event sponsorships for more than 25 years under the ownership of Gene and Betty Merow. New owners Mark and Jessica LaMountain have continued that tradition and for the second year will be providing support for the floral night dam fund fund-raiser.
