Last week I had the opportunity to join former Pioneer Press golf writer Gregg Wong for a round of golf at Edina Country Club. It was a very hot day, but I had a great time listening to Gregg’s stories and playing a very enjoyable course. I finished with back-to-back pars and shot 93.

My last round at Edina was four years ago and I had forgotten much of the layout. The greens have been a concern in the past, but that appears to be resolved–all of them were in excellent shape. This was also the first time I really visited the clubhouse (pro shop, locker rooms and casual grill). It was one of the better private facilities I’ve seen and the staff was really friendly. Thanks again to Gregg for his kind hospitality.
