Time For Your Putters To Take The Winter Off In Bismarck

...At least for some of the OUTDOOR golf courses here in town. For golfers everywhere, we all knew that time was coming - we've lived in North Dakota long enough to know when Mother Nature decides to flex her muscles, the chances of getting a last-second hole-in-one were impossible. This year though, the weather has been cooperating - just yesterday ( October 28th ) we almost hit 60 degrees - heck let's tee it up - but every year there comes a time when most golf courses start closing - and for that time is coming up.

Halloween - dress up like Tiger Woods and play your last round of golf
