Last weekend our usual suspects hit Brookview Golf Course, located right across from KARE-11 TV in Golden Valley. We were a little surprised to see the four-star rating from Golf Digest hanging on the wall of the city-owned course, but the course has improved quite a bit since our last visit (which was, granted, right after another flood that covered many of the holes).
Conditioning all over was extremely green and lush on the 6,387-yard regulation course (rating of 70.6 and slope of 129). We’ve never played the par-3 nine hole course, but it looked to be in great condition as well.
ran 4 wet & rainy miles in Eagan
The first part of our new equipment lease at HSRA Minnesota arrived yesterday on three large pallets. It’s always fun to un-box new computers, but the novelty wears off by about the fifth one and the rest just become a chore.
Should keep me out of trouble all week, though…
it’s going to be a busy week – three large pallets from AI today
backup and disaster recovery planning day at HSRA
A few weeks back we stopped in at Columbia Golf Course in Minneapolis for a weekend round. We seemed to be cursed with rain every time we go there, but overall it was an enjoyable round.
