Sand Lot Golfer Recalls The Old Days
The Soda Springs golf story traces its origins to 1931 when Ike Blackburn inspired S E Matthews Sr to sponsor a course near Soda Springs. Early efforts failed after livestock ruined sand greens, but a new site was found on UP and L land, leading to a revived Stampede Golf Club before WWII. The 14 remaining members later reorganized in 1956 as Soda Springs Golf Club Inc., now with about 200 members under President Norman Bjorkman.
