Tanking visitor numbers and lack of a lifeguard make Splash n' Putt Resort close early

Summer has come to an abrupt end at Splash 'N Putt Resort near Glovertown. At 7pm Sunday evening, the highway-side waterpark turned off the water taps due to low attendance. The business was only able to use a portion of their pool this season, because legislative changes required them to hire a nationally certified lifeguard - and they couldn't get one. Newfoundland Morning's Gavin Simms spoke with Splash n' Putt co-owner Shane Gardiner on Friday.
