HOULTON, Maine — Our Maine summers are kicking into gear weatherwise. A little much needed rain midweek was welcomed. The crew is getting caught up on mowing and our greens are looking good. Father’s Day weekend found many fathers on the course with some of their family.

Don’t forget to come to the course this Saturday morning to participate in our cleanup day. We will be starting at 8 a.m. and work for a few hours. Bring your string trimmer and rake and your enthusiasm as we attack the weeds in the pine trees on a few of the holes. Lunch will be provided. Many hands will make quick work of it.
