Retirees Golf Tournament

The skies were somewhat hazy and the temperature around 81 as 30 golfers attacked the greens at Crystal Lake Golf Course in Lakeville. We had a lot of fun as we competed for low scores, longest drive, longest putt and closest to the pin. Six groups played 18 holes with two groups shooting identical scores of 64, 7 under par. The two groups were Lowell Stark, Jim Stark, Tom Beadle, and Joe Utoft and Craig Manson, Cary Manson, Bill McDonald and Jurgen Adam. Larry Kane, Mimi Kane, Monica Burkart and John Ponterio won the 9 hole division. Winners of the individual contests were:

Longest Drive – Men was Dave Mohling Longest Drive – Women was Monica Burkart Longest Putt – Lowell Stark and Dave Mohling Closest to the pin - Mimi Kane and Jim Burkle It was a beautiful day and would have been even better if a few more of you chose to join us. Maybe next year? Thank you, Jurgen Adam, for coordinating this event. (Special thanks to Guy and Nancy for taking pictures.)

The Anson Northrup was named for the Minnesota pioneer who operated one of the first boats above St. Anthony Falls. It was designed to fit under the low bridges in

Minneapolis and put in service in 1988. The side-wheeler's overall height had to be kept under 22 feet because of the low bridges in that area of the river. It is 92 feet long and 33 feet wide. 12:00 p.m. Take a narrated sightseeing cruise along the Mississippi River. Cruise departs from

Harriet Island and travels through the heavily wooded Mississippi National River and Recreation Area. It is steeped in the history of early Minnesota and its settlers. Sights along the way include: the St. Paul High Bridge, Pigs Eye’s Cave, the Minnesota River mouth, Pike Island, and the timeless splendor of the mighty Mississippi River.

Lunch Menu: Feast on BBQ chicken, pulled pork with buns, green chili cheddar corn bread, potato salad, seasonal fruit, chips, cookies and coffee that is sure to leave you satisfied. There is a cash bar for additional beverages.

2:00 p.m. The boat returns to the St. Paul Docks on Harriet Island.

2:15 p.m. Estimated departure time from St. Paul.

2:45 p.m. Estimated return time to Bloomington.
