1st week of league play at Columbia

Today is the start of the Minneapolis golf league season.  Michael Vigen and I get to defend our championship title at Columbia.  It should be a great day for golf, low 70s and sunny.

My wife is also in a league this year.  She is playing at Theo Wirth in Minneapolis.  Maybe this year she can get a trophy too.

I am interested to see what shape Columbia is in this year.  Last year they lost most of hole 11 after drainage ponds flooded during one particularly fierce rain storm.  I was looking at the course today and found that google has a good picture of the damage in their map. 

You can see a brownish cirlce in the fairway short of the water damage.  This was their temporary "green" though putting on it was ridiculous. They turned the hole into a par 3 instead of the normal 547 yard par 5.  You can see the flooding did not affect the green, as it was elevated above the fairway enough to be spared.  The green can be seen to the left of the damaged area :
