There’s still a fair amount of snow on the ground at Stonebrooke, but the die-hard players didn’t seem to mind.
“I was about to drive 3.5 hours to South Dakota to play. This worked out great when I found out Stonebrooke Golf Club was going to be open. I called my son and told him we were going to play and he got all excited. Today will be a great day,” said Scott Ridgely, Jake’s dad.
Both Scott and Jake wore shorts on a balmy 59-degree day, but they’re true Minnesotans, so a little cool air wasn’t going to slow down their golf outing. Stonebrooke G.C. had tee times booked solid between 8:00 am straight through to 4:00 pm.
Other area golf courses around the metro should be opening soon, weather permitting.
