Even the most avid of golfers would probably tell you the season is still a long way off. But the links at Minnewasta Golf & Country Club in Morden, Man. say otherwise.
Minnewasta golf pro, Geoff Kelher, posted a picture on Twitter showing grass filled fairways on Tuesday. The unusual February sight comes following several days of above-normal temperatures.
“I was definitely surprised to see the grass come through the last few days,” Minnewasta Golf & Country Club pro,Geoff Kehler said. “Especially this year since we had a ton of snow.”

Kehler expects he’ll have to repair some water and ice damage come spring but says the early melt has put the golf course on par for a regular opening.
“Looking two to three weeks ago, I would have thought we would be late,” Kehler said. “We should be able to welcome golfers now by mid-April.”
But don’t dust off your clubs just yet. Kehler says a light snowfall overnight has covered the course back up.
