Today we met with our Indiana family at Madden's Resort.
This is a very large resort on a peninsula into Gull Lake. Over time, many smaller resorts were consolidated into this now large complex.
It seems the main attraction here is golf. Many courses are available from a 3 par course to a championship course listed among the top 100 in the nation.
My son Ed and I played a 9 hole course in Mendota Heights when he was in junior high school. Most Saturdays in the summer he would be up early while I was still in bed. But we would go our and sometimes the dew was on the greens and a "rooster tail" of water would form behind the ball. So this was a good reprise of that time.
Here Sir Flails-a-lot is making his shot.
Afterwards we played games available on the site with very helpful attendants to help us get started.
Here we played a very British game of croquet. The course was unbelievably flat and well tended.
Sue, Kathy, Ed, Katelyn and Al make up this handsome family portrait.
