WHEATON, Minn. - A northwestern Minnesota golf course damaged by vandals this summer is getting some generous recovery help.
Early the morning of August 20 employees of the Wheaton Golf Course arrived to find the green on hole number one had suffered severe damage caused by someone in a pickup truck doing donuts.
The Traverse County Sheriff’s Office posted a story about the incident on its Facebook page, offering a $5,000 reward. Among those that saw the post were members of the 2016 Ryder Cup staff, who reached out to the sheriff, the golf course and the community of Wheaton to help.
Earlier this week the PGA of America and its charitable foundation, PGA REACH, handed over a check of $5,000 to help the course with repair costs. And because the Wheaton Golf Course doesn't employ a full-time groundskeeper, Hazeltine National grounds superintendent Chris Tritabaugh is stepping up to offer advice and techniques to repair or rebuild the damaged grounds.
