PICTURE BUTTE, Alta. - Golfers in southern Alberta should be thinking about booking their tee times.

The course in Picture Butte north of Lethbridge is opening for the season on Wednesday.

Golf pro Chris Dipasquale (dee-pih-SKALL'-ee) says nine holes — complete with greens — are ready and the full 18 holes will be open by the weekend.

Dipasquale says the golf club doesn't usually open until late April, but abnormally dry and warm weather has changed that.

He says the course has never opened this early in its 50-year history.

Tell that to the Ukrainians, the Poles and the Italians

It may open but it doesn't mean it will stay open.

I remember that about 30 years ago in Québec, we had such a warm spell in February that they started collecting maple sap. A few days later, the cold came back, they shut everything down and waited for the real spring.
