“It’s the family game of a lifetime.”
My first thought during my interview years ago with Lee Leach, whose family owns and operates Minakwa Golf Club in Crookston, was that the words he chose to sum up his thoughts on the game of golf amounted to a pretty corny quote for a story I was writing. But I used it. I think I even incorporated it into the headline.
Cornball or not, Lee was right. From one generation to the next, golf is the family game of a lifetime.
Golf was a foreign concept to my family when we moved to Minnesota in the late 1970s. Then there were some work-related golf outings for my dad, and soon he was given of a set of clubs for Christmas.
