One of the great things for area golfers in the crazy year of 2020 is they have had the opportunity to hit the links and experience a bit of normalcy in this anything but normal summer. Many locals as well as duffers all along the Hi-line from Shelby to Wolf Point have headed to the course for a casual round of golf by themselves, with family or as small groups ready to get the competitive juices flowing. For many it also meant getting their league teams together to compete weekly at their local...
