The Irish may have all the luck on St. Patrick's Day, but some area golfers believe they are fortunate today.
The Irish may have all the luck on St. Patrick's Day, but some area golfers believe they are fortunate today.
At least one area golf course, Pine Knot, located east of Dorchester is open.
Dean Gocan, the course manager, made the decision even though you can still find snow on the course and ice in some ponds.
“We do have a few of the Canadian hard water hazards as I like to call them,” he concedes with humour.
Gocan says beyond the remnants of winter, conditions are ideal for early in the season. The greens have even been rolled thanks to Pine Knot extensive drainage system.
Many of those fortunate to get one of 270 available tee tees Thursday credited St. Patrick's Day luck for their good fortune.
