Forget the snow, think golf and warmer times

Despite the recent cold spell it's time to think summer and with summer comes golf tournaments of every kind.

Whether it's fundraisers, competitive events or just something to do, there is almost a tournament every weekend at one of the Brainerd lakes area courses.

Following is a list of some of the tournaments scheduled this year.

Also open to the public is a two-person scramble at Eagles Landing in Fort Ripley every Monday during the season. For more information contact Eagles Landing (320) 632-5721.
