Golfers who

visit the Wendell Coffee Golf Center this summer will be able to enjoy

a beer after playing the course.

The Tyrone

Town Council approved a request by Wendell Coffee to serve wine and malt

beverages. One gentleman addressed the council and spoke in opposition,

but there was very limited discussion among council members before approving

the request.

"I felt

that Wendell Coffee should have the same opportunity to provide for his

guests as any other golf course," said Councilman Paul Letourneau.

"Serving beer and wine with meals or to someone having lunch after

having played a round of golf was in my mind not an unreasonable request."

Coffee stated

that he will probably start serving July 1 and has plans to include a

full restaurant, though the details have yet to be hammered out. Coffee

has a restaurant license and states that the hours of operation will be

the same as the hours of operation for the club.

"The customers

asked for us to serve beer and wine," said Coffee, who also said

that there will be several tables for people to sit at but no bar.
