Havre's Jim Kato intstructs a golfer at the 2014 Rotary golf camp. Kato will be teaching you golfers again this week at the 2015 version of the Rotary golf camp, which will be held at the Prairie Farms Golf Course.
The three Prairie Farms Golf Course leagues took last week off for the Fourth of July week, but things will ramp back up again this week.
And in more ways than one.
Not only does men’s league return to Prairie Farms this week, but it’s also Rotary Week. Today, the annual Rotary Youth Golf Camp begins at Prairie Farms and will run through Thursday. Then, Sunday, the annual Rotary Blast tournament will take place. The Rotary Blast is a two-person, 18-hole modified stableford scoring tournament, and is one of the most competitive tournaments on the Hi-Line each summer. There are still plenty of spots available, and players can sign up by calling or visiting the Pro Shop at Prairie Farms.
Speaking of competitive tournaments, several Havre golfers and former Havre players competed in the annual Whitefish Earl Hunt Memorial Golf Tournament at Whitefish Lake this past week. Well done to all the local golfers who played in what is one of Montana’s toughest amateur tournaments all summer. Former Havre Blue Pony standout Jon Johnstone was the top local finisher. Johnstone finished T19 with rounds of 69-78-76.
While Prairie Farms saw no league action last week, and the ladies will tee it up again this Thursday, the Chinook Golf League did play their ninth week of the season. Lane Seymour and Brent Schellin each shot 37 for low gross, while Doug Mosser netted a 29.8.
And finally, the massive storm that passed over Havre and the Hi-Line last Saturday night was certainly a scary one. Glad to hear that everyone in the area was doing OK.
Also doing OK it seems were all three of our local courses, Prairie Farms, Beaver Creek Golf Course and the Chinook Golf Club. Storms like that can be extremely rough on golf courses, both with falling trees and hail pounding the greens. However, from the reports I’ve gotten, all three courses came through the storm with minimal damage. Here’s to hoping we don’t see another storm like that the rest of the summer because that one was a doosey.
