It’s not too late in the year for some golf, with a prime-time boxing match waiting in the Wings:
— Here’s to hitting the course with a cart and then Kozy Korner, because you care.
The bar and grill in North Hudson is asking people to accept the MS Challenge by participating in its annual golf tournament to support MS research — with all proceeds of course going to that MS challenge and walk. The event is Saturday, Sept. 21, with a shotgun start atb 1 p.m. at the River Falls Golf Course. The cost is $60 per person, $240 per team, and includes golf, a cart to ride, dinner and range balls. Players can then reconvene at Kozy Korner for more fun after the golfing. Players can still signup at Kozy Korner. For more information, call Kozy at (715) 386-7711.
— Hudson’s Buffalo Wild Wings had a completely full house last Saturday at its spacious venue when hosted a viewing of the top TV rated fight ever in Nevada, which saw Mayweather defeat Alvarez, both of whom were undefeated, in a WBA and WBC junior middleweight unification bout. It is the latest in a series of well attended fights that continue to be viewed on the many TVs at BWW, and the announcement about its prominent place in Vegas history was made on Thursday. The BWW patrons kept rapt attention during the fight that has been matched only by that when watching Packer football games, and even stood up from their high-top chairs to cheer at key moments, such as when a big punch was landed — or when a cameraman caught on video the sight of a dislodged mouthguard sliding down the length of one of the ropes.
— Also last Saturday, the late afternoon rain held off just long enough to allow good weather for three prominent annual events, the longtime running of the llamas in Hammond, the fourth annual rib fest contest and cookout and micro-brew sampling at the Willow River Saloon and Carbone’s Pizzeria in Burkhardt, and the Hudson Green Mill golf tournament. All of these had the good timing to be wrapping up their outdoor phase by about 4 p.m.
