We were greeted with clear skies and temps in the low 30’s and about 4″ of snow still left on the ground from the weekend snow storm. The day warmed to a comfortable 52 degrees with mild winds and the snow melted and was nearly all gone by the last brace. 7 braces were completed today so we will start brace eight on course 15-16 at 8am Tuesday. several spectators were on the grounds today most notably Dean Reneke from the Garmin Comapany and Eric Mundan from Lion Country. Today 15 grouse were observed by officials and two dogs had clean birdwork with three finds. The woodcock have seemed to have left the area as none were seen today.
