FUN(D) RAISING IN THE SNOW

Few people would think of playing golf in Minnesota in February. Recently, the Cloquet Rotary Club of Carlton, Minn., invited locals to play a few rounds on frozen Chub Lake, with holes drilled into the ice. Competitors used hockey sticks, canoe paddles, and tennis rackets to hit a tennis ball around the course. The 12th annual “Hook and Slice on Ice” tournament was played strictly for fun, but the event raises around $20,000 for local charities every year, paying for scholarships and books. “It’s a win-win for everybody,” said “golfer” Chris Erickson.
