If your vines are that healthy, they're not going to miss a leaf or two.
Cutting out the growing tip will only lead to 2 or more new leads to grow
out into the yard. I'd just turn the growing end of the vine around and head
it back into the garden. Make it a good curve so you don't snap or pinch the
vine. Place a rock or some other weighty item alongside the vine to hold it
in place until it knows who's boss.

The three vines have about 50 ends, and I'm having trouble keeping up with
'em. :-) I'm running out of places to turn them. It's like the Hydra.
I picked my first 3 squash today, and should have another 20 by Sunday.
