It’s that time again! On July 1st (this Thursday), Jason Varitek and his pals are going to be holding the fifth annual ‘Jason Varitek Celebrity Putt Putt.’ If you haven’t heard of it in years past, Tek gets a player or other celebrity to host each of the 18 custom made holes while you and the rest of your foursome play through. So far the confirmed celebs are: Josh Beckett, Mike Lowell, Jonathan Papelbon, Jason Varitek, Tim Wakefield, and Cole Wright (I guess he sort of counts.)

All it costs is $15 a person for this dream scenario to come true: You place your bright orange ball on the fake green grass mat and sneak a peak at Jonathan Papelbon to make sure he is watching. Inhale then exhale as you lightly tap the ball off the wall, past the mini sand trap, and into the hole. Papelbon smiles at you and you grimace at him and ask politiely if he would throw more strikes (but not the kind that get blasted out of the park by Jason Giambi.) You politely bow after your mini-golf prowess has been shown to the world and as you walk off you mutter ‘it wouldn’t hurt to throw more splitters either Paps..’

I mean, this probably WON’T happen but it could. You’ll never know unless you buy tickets and go. The event is Thursday and it takes place in the Tsongas Center at UMass Lowell.

If you’re not doing it for fun then do it for the charities: ‘Celebrities for Charity’ and ‘Journey Forward.’
