Castle Mound Golf Course superintendent Pat Kline notes the recent rain turned a sandy, brown course into green turf just in time for the sixth annual Holmen Open. Coulee Region players will compete in the 18 hole tournament this weekend, Saturday and Sunday.
Eric Haug owner of the Holmen course record defends his tournament crown Sunday after a two hole playoff to beat Gary Johnson last year. Johnson and Haug tied for top honors at 71. Haug made a clutch par save then a 12 foot birdie to seal last year’s win. Other former champions in the field include Tim Skogen and Steve Jahimiak, both with prior NAIA honors and Twig Valley success.
Record holder Haug, golfing just a few years, shot seven under par 65 last August to set the Castle Mound course record. His 32 on the front nine matches the nine hole low by Skogen and Paul Williamson. Johnson cautions against a par break, noting tricky shots and limited field strength. Flight formats and weather factors shape this year’s event as 160 players participated in 1974, with Saturday or Sunday options for flight entries. Midwest League results follow with multiple daily scores.

Reid, son of a retired Air Force colonel, has lived in multiple states and now calls Seattle home. Chicago Bears sign rookie free agent Jimmy Kelly of Cincinnati to a one year contract.
