Warmer Weather Springs Golf Courses To Open Early - CBS Local

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) â€" Our first stretch of mild March weather has prompted some golf courses across the state to open ahead of schedule or at least get ready for the season to start.

As of Tuesday, there are two golf courses near the Twin Cities that are open for business, and more are scheduled to get their season started this week. Oak Marsh Golf Club in Oakdale and Creeksbend Golf Course in New Prague are both open for play.

Two courses are scheduled to be ready for players by Wednesday. They include Stonebrooke Golf Club in Shakopee and Shadowbrooke Golf Course in Lester Prairie. Tanners Brook Golf Club in Forest Lake is scheduled to open Thursday, and Emerald Greens Golf Club in Hastings is planning to be open for play on Saturday.

“I didn’t think the courses were going to be open yet this year,” Scott Sprechter of New Richmond, Wis., said Tuesday at Oak Marsh.

“I got a phone call at 10 o’clock saying ‘Hey, golf course is open, let’s go’ and I said why not?” Ralph Ludden of Maplewood said. “I’m actually better in the snow.”

With mild weather expected throughout the week, more courses could be ready to play earlier than anticipated. If you’re looking to hit a few shots but not ready to take on a course yet, several driving ranges around the Twin Cities should be opening soon if they aren’t already.

Driving ranges are currently open at Bunker Hills Golf Course in Coon Rapids, Gross National Golf Club in Minneapolis, Riverwood National Golf Course in Otsego and Cedar Creek Golf Course in Albertville.

Here’s more information on opening dates for Minnesota golf courses.

Two Naked Pics Of Holly Sonders. The Big News To Emerge From The 2013 PGA Show

Image
The media centre at the 2013 PGA Show was buzzing yesterday.  Not because of anything that happened at the show.  God forbid! When I rocked in, several men (and one woman) were gathered around an iphone ogling and sharing  two pics of who they claimed were Holly Sonders naked. Now I have to hold my hands up and say, I had to google her to find out she’s from The Golf Channel. I don’t watch the Golf Channel because I don’t have an erectile dysfunction problem or need to rent a car from National.  I’m told adverts for both are all that’s on that channel. How they knew for certain it was her, I dont know.  Unless the cheeks of her ass were on her passport photo and they recognized them from there, but I doubt it. The First Pic The first pic is taken from behind. No pun intended.  The media guys say it was taken by her fiancee (?) and shows Holly in a white thong which has disappeared a dangerously long ways into the bummage.  I’m talking t...

Sarah Stirk Nipple Gate: Navy Top Leaves Viewers Disappointed

Image
London: Sky Sports management this morning issued a statement  apologizing to subscribers after Sarah Stirk wore a navy dress live on air.  It is believed up to 60,000 horny golfers were left limp after they tuned in to final round coverage of the Valero Texas Open in the hope of getting a glimpse of the legendary Stirk starter buttons. “I pay my subscription, I’m bloody well entitled to see Sarah’s Wimbledon strawberries” said factory worker Paul Manning 52 from Hereford. “I even missed the ten minute freeview, coz my mate Derek tweeted that Stirk was going into the shot centre for ten minutes at 11pm”. The Sky statement read: We apologize unreservedly for the navy dress Sarah wore during last nights broadcast, through which no nipples were visible. This was due to a wardrobe malfunction. However we do intend to rectify this during our US Masters coverage and assure viewers that plenty of bridge rivets will be on show, both from Sarah and special guest Colin M...
