Wait for updated course at Legion Memorial was worth it

Legion Memorial golf

Wait for new course was worth it

Kudos to the City of Everett, Premier Golf and the various contractors involved in the re-vamp of Legion Memorial golf course. It was a spectacular opening weekend after an extended wait for the four new holes in the southwest corner of the course to take shape.

It was well worth the wait! Though I share the lament of a previous letter writer regarding the loss of the old No. 3, the new holes were a joy to play on a beautiful summer weekend.
