Our new simulator is scheduled to ship this week and will be arriving very soon! Updates on shop schedules and simulator fees will be coming soon by blog, Facebook, twitter and email. For now we are busy pricing 2012 inventory for our end of season sale running until Christmas.

On Sunday, November 11th, the Bridges closed for the season. Thanks for a great 2012! We are looking forward to an even better 2013!

We have reached the second half of October, yesterday was 70 degrees and the course is in excellent condition. There will still be some wonderful days to come out and enjoy the Bridges in what may be the best conditions ever. Give us a call at 507-452-3535. By the way, the new Grill menu is available – there are some outstanding items there!

Leaves are beginning to change, cooler mornings, Fall is coming. The Bridges is in great shape! The Fall greens work is done, the course is in it’s best condition of the season, with the bluff beginning to turn to Fall colors. Now is the time to come out to play! Our Fall special is 18 holes of golf with cart for $38.00 or nine holes of golf with cart for $25.00. 507-452-3535.

The twelfth annual Shortridge Scramble entries are now open! Mark your calendars and get your teams assembled for September 22 & 23, 2012. Check out the link on our website or give us a call at the golf shop 507-452-3535. This is always a fun event!

Congratulations to the Bridges assistant professional Brian Paulson on being named Winona State’s new head golf coach. Brian’ wealth of knowledge and experience will be a huge asset to the golf team.
A high five to Scott Thrune! Scott made his first (I know – hard to believe) career hole in one an Saturday, July 28th. A 3 iron from 187 on # 15. Witnessing were Ted Biesanz, Craig Olson and Hollis Donehower.

The Visage GPS system has been installed on our golf cars! This will give players distance to the flag from where they are sitting. Players can also send and receive messages, even order food or beverages for pick up at the turn or when their round is finished.

Here we are, after Thanksgiving – I hope you all had a terrific holiday! We have updated plans for the construction I have placed below. The two locker rooms are basically empty, the bag storage room is bare of storage bins and now filling with items for storage during construction.

It’s that time of year, the course closed on Sunday, November 13th for the season. Thanks for a great year! See you in the spring!

The season is winding down and the golf shop is getting prepared for it’s role as storage room for the renovation project. I have included a photo of assistant professional Brian Paulson dismantling bag storage units. The plans are finalized and new print getting processed, when I receive a set, I will post them here and on our website www.winonagolf.com.
