Portage la Prairie golfers are able to hit the links a lot earlier than usual.  The warmer than average March has allowed for the earliest start on record for the Southport Golf Course. Owner and Manager Kevin Muir says they were able to get up and running on March 20th.



The previous earliest open he has experienced in his time at Southport was April 9th. Muir says this has been a complete 180 from last year, when the wet weather forced a slow start for local golfers.
