HOLMEN, Wis. (WKBT) -
Many skiers and snowmobilers are discouraged by the lack of snow in our area right now, but not everyone is disappointed in this weather.

Golfers were out in full force Thursday at Drugan's Castle Mound in Holmen.

One golfer we spoke with has been golfing for more than 40 years and says he has never been golfing this late in the year, but is enjoying the extended season.

"The course is in very good shape. The greens are a little slower. I don't think they've been cut for a month, but that's understandable when they had snow on them.... yeah," said golfer Monte Jacobson.

Every golf cart was out on the course at Drugan's.

The manager says they will stay open as long as the weather permits and it doesn't damage the course.
