The annual Northern Rodeo Association sanctioned Great Northern Rodeo kicks off with tonight’s performance at 7 inside the Great Northern Rodeo arena, while the rodeo concludes Saturday night with a se...

And as a recent graduate from Havre High, Denny has already finished his prep golf career, and now nears the end of his baseball career. As a sophomore, junior, and senior, Denny was on the HHS golf team....

One major change is, there are no longer local and professional truck pulls. The truck pull used to occupy the Saturday sports slot at...
Beaver Creek Golf Course. To golfers in Havre, those words are synonymous with the history of golf on the Hi-Line. In fact, there was a time when BCGC, the famed 9-hole course west of Havre, was truly the lone public course between Shelby to the west, Malta to the east and Fort Benton to the south. Of course, the golf course boom in Montana over the last three-plus decades has changed that, and soon, Havre will have a full 18-hole course at Prairie Farms. But as it relates to...

People who are avid golfers love to get out and travel. They certainly support their home course, and in our area, that’s usually Prairie Farms, Beaver Creek or the Chinook Golf Club, or in some cases, all three. But let’s face it, golfers love to visit different courses and test their games against unfamiliar surroundings and setting. And Montana offers plenty of that, with currently 119 courses listed in the state’s directory. But in our area, you don’t need to stay in Mont...

With the Fourth of July falling right in the middle of the week, competitive golf took a backseat to the holiday last week. Though local courses were booked solid with golfers, families and plenty of fun in the sun last week, men’s and women’s leagues took the week off, and will resume starting tonight at Prairie Farms. The local tournament scene also took a week off, but that will get right back into the swing of things Sunday at Prairie Farms as the annual Rotary Blast Tourn...
Through the first three installments of the Golf on the Hi-Line series, we’ve taken a close look at three courses which certainly keep Hi-Line golfers busy during the summer months. And next week, we’ll take a look at the oldest and most historic course in the area. But the U.S. Highway 2 corridor isn’t the only place in our area which is golf crazy. Our neighbors to the south like golf, too, and Signal Point Golf Course just outside Fort Benton is the course of choice for m...
