MGA GOLF COURSE
2015 MGA GOLF COU
MGA MEMBERS GUIDE TO MINNE
an " Common Man " Cole, radio personality and
host of the Common Man Show on KFAN radio
FM 100.3, and the self-proclaimed Offi cial Unoffi
cial Ambassador to Minnesota Golf, recently regaled
the Minnesota Public Golf Manager's Association with
tales of his golfi ng exploits across the state, playing his favorite
" top ten " golf courses from Ada to Zumbrota, watching
The King, Arnold Palmer, and The Body, Governor
Jesse Ventura, tee it up at Deacon's Lodge,
or winning Governor Ventura's Jackal Open
(media event) just days after 9/11. Part of
Common's charm-and his shtick - is
his habit of describing all of the golf
courses he plays as his " top ten. "
Last autumn, MGA member Art
Hennington, 66, of the Elk River
Golf Club, celebrated playing all 526 golf courses in the land of
10,000 water hazards. Hennington's serendipitous quest came
full circle on Sept. 25, when he sank his fi nal putt at the last
hole on Minnesota's oldest golf club, St. Paul's Town & Country
Club.
About the time Hennington fi nished his quest, the members
at Rochester Golf & Country Club celebrated being named the
2014 MGA Member Club of the Year. RGCC got its start in the
autumn of 1915, when a group of avid golfers leased 100 acres
of land just west of the Mayo Clinic from local doctors E.S. Judd
and D.C. Balfour. They hired Harry Turpie, golf professional at
the Red Wing Golf Club, to design a nine-hole golf course to
be known as the Rochester Golf Club. In 1926, with grander
designs in mind, the members enticed renowned golf architect
A.W. Tillinghast to lay out a new 18-hole course for the cost of
a membership for Tillinghast's daughter and son-in-law, and
his carfare (and train fare) from Chicago. Construction began
on the new course, which opened the following summer. Tillinghast,
whose daughter was married to a Mayo Clinic doctor,
visited often and developed a lifelong friendship with the members.
The carfare fee became a humorous footnote to club lore.
