Haag: more than volunteers needed at local golf course

There’s a shortage of volunteers at Banks Lake Golf Course.

Port District 7 officials, who run the 18-hole course, are discussing the need to hire some more help at the golf course.

Last golf season the port literally ran the course with volunteers, a small number of golfers who did the watering, mowing and maintenance.

Port Commissioner Gary Haag told fellow commissioners last week that many volunteers are getting “burned out” from spending too much time at the course.

He recommended that the port hire at least a part-time and hopefully a full-time person to pick up a large amount of the workload this year.

Haag reported that he had a person in mind for the position, but that person wanted 40 hours a week.

The plan would be to have that person come on in April and work through October.

Commissioners felt that they needed more time to decide and that any decision to hire a person would have to wait until the port found out how many memberships would come in.

The course officially opened March 1.
