Extended winter slicing into golf season
The bags are packed with a sufficient number of tees and balls, and the clubs are shined up for a new season.
But golfers are being held off the course due to the extended winter Mother Nature has bestowed upon the land.
Kevin Broderson, GM and head pro at Lacombe Golf and Country Club, says normally they would’ve opened last weekend or this coming weekend. His projection now is for the first week of May, though the driving range could open by Friday the 27th.
“Right now, we’re just watching snow melt,” he says. “We’ve got geese swimming in a pond on our first fairway.”
