Pine Meadows Women's league tees off at buffet table

The Pine Meadows Women's Golf League will start their season with a Spring Luncheon on May 3. Social hour begins at 11:30 a.m. with lunch set for noon in the Green Mill conference room in Brainerd. For reservations or more information, call Bonnie Franke at 218-828-3092.

Correction

Pine Meadow's twilight rates begin at 3 p.m. as opposed to 5 p.m. as reported in Tuesday's Dispatch. The cost is $16 walking and $24 with a cart.

Also it was incorrectly reported that Eagles Landing is on County Road 29. It should be County Road 49.

The Dispatch regrets the errors.
