Watch the Masters this week.
From the General Manager
Who said you can not play golf in weste=
rn Minnesota the last week of March. What a nice surprise getting the golf course open for business and havin=
g some rounds played in the month of March. Maybe we will catch a break for having such a poor October and ha=
ve a spectacular April filled with sun and golf. Could we be so lucky!
The river has finally dropped below the=
17 foot level on Saturday and we have begun the process of pumping out the=
bottom holes. The river this year=
crested at 20.13 feet, which is almost 2 feet higher then last years crest=
. The river came over the dike the=
evening of March 20th and we were =
able to beginning pumping the water off the course on April 3
Thanks to Pau=
l Rongstad for his help (use of his forklift) in getting our electric pump =
back in place so that it was ready to pump water. Need to also thank Sherman Winson for loaning to us his dis=
charge hose that allowed us to maximize the pump and eliminate the water at=
a much greater rate then last year. Thanks also to Mark Grussing for the use of his pump again this year.
See you on the course. Countdown to the Masters - 3 days (4/05)

From the Superintendent
This past week was a busy one for us.

This week we will begin getting ball wa=
shers, garbage cans and tee markers out on the course. We will not be mowing greens and fairways on a regular=
basis until we get the irrigation system up and running which we hope to b=
e able to work on later in the week. =
See you on the course.
