The PGA of America Communications Department issued this release to media for the 91st PGA Championship:

“I’d love to play for the rugby team. That would be great.” – Tiger
Woods, joking in response to a question about the announcement today

Chaska Police officers have begun to remove peddlers from the Hazeltine National Golf Club area.

When the PGA Championship week began, nearby venders were more in the
vein of kids and Kool-Aid stands, “and we just let them ride,” said
Chaska Police Chief Scott Knight.

However by Friday, the venders had gotten out of hand. “It’s almost like the state fair,” Knight said.

Chaska and Chanhassen High Schools will cooperate to form boys and girls varsity hockey teams this winter.

But the Hawks and Storm are not waiting until then.

The Chaska/Chan boys varsity team will play an exhibition game against Holy Family Catholic on Wednesday, July 15 to preview the new Victoria Arena.

“We just gained occupancy of the arena today (Tuesday).” Chaska/Chanhassen coach Steve Olinger said. “It will be a big deal.”

A pregame barbecue takes place from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m., with the exhibition game from 6:45 to 7:45 p.m.
