It
is now finally time to give everyone the news we’ve been waiting for.
As of 4:06 p.m. on the afternoon of July 25th, 2006, Ironwood
Golf & CC officially changed ownership from Jim Furbush to Rick
Lees. We would like to thank everyone for their support, generosity,
concern, friendship and patience throughout the long process that it
took to achieve our goal. |
| Jim Furbush used the family farm to
create his golf course and built it with a tradition of friendship, camaraderie,
honesty and fun. A tradition that we will always do our best to continue. Even
though ownership has changed, Jim will always be a part of Ironwood and will
never be forgotten. |

OUT OF BOUNDS
By Rick Colvin
Why we split up…
Ø
She told me that we couldn’t afford beer any more and that I’d
have to quit.
Then I caught her spending $65.00
on make-up.
I asked how come I had to give up
my stuff and she didn’t?
She told me that the make-up was
so that she could look pretty for me.
I told her that was what the beer
was for.
I don’t think she’s coming
back.
Sunny Sunday…
Ø
Father Norton woke up on Sunday morning, and realizing what an
exceptionally
beautiful and
sunny early spring day it was, decided to play golf.
He told the
associate pastor that he was feeling sick and persuaded him to say mass for him
that day.
As soon as the
associate pastor had left the room, Father Norton headed out of town to a golf
course about 40 miles away. This way he knew that he wouldn’t accidentally
meet anyone he knew from his parish.
Setting up on
the first tee, he was alone. After all, it was Sunday morning and everyone was
in church.
At this
moment, Saint Peter leaned over to the Lord while looking down from the heavens
and exclaimed, “You’re not going to let him get away with this, are you?”
The Lord
sighed and said, “No, I guess not.”
Father Norton
hit the ball. It shot straight toward the pin, dropped just short of it, rolled
up and fell into the hole: A 420-YARD HOLE IN ONE.
Saint Peter
was astonished. He looked at the Lord and asked, “Why did you let him do
that?”
The Lord
smiled and replied, “Who’s he going to tell?”
Why is it that
no matter what color the pants are, the pocket lint is always blue?
