The Battle at Bolstad: Kevin Kurtt/Casey Miller Wedding Golf Invitational Set for May 13


Groom-to-be Kevin Kurtt (Edina, Minn./Edina HS/Univ. of Minnesota) is proud to announce the establishment of the 2005 Kevin Kurtt/Casey Miller Wedding Golf Invitational – dubbed The Battle at Bolstad – to be contested at the University of Minnesota Les Bolstad Golf Course in Falcon Heights, Minn., on Friday, May 13.

The Battle at Bolstad will feature 20 golfers from the families of Kurtt and bride-to-be Casey Miller, the Kurtt wedding party and the U of M Athletic Communications office.

“The Battle at Bolstad will clearly be the marquee event of the spring of 2005, not to mention the wedding weekend,” Kurtt said from a press conference at Al’s Breakfast in Dinkytown. “True, several members of the playing field possess some questionable golf abilities. I’m talking to you Mike Lundberg, Jeff Leach, Steve Geller and Mike Maloney. Nevertheless, I expect the Battle at Bolstad to be a veritable cornucopia of mediocre golf on a mediocre course in celebration of what is sure to be a non-mediocre wedding.”

Tee times for the Battle at Bolstad will begin at 10 a.m., and continue every 10 minutes. Hole prizes will be awarded for longest drive, shortest drive, closest to hole, longest putt and more. Rates are $30 for general public and $25 for U of M students/staff. Carts are $26 (split between two players).

2005 Battle at Bolstad Motto
Sometimes I catch that three iron a little thin
and I've hooked my four iron
and hit flyers with the five
and shanked the six
and skulled the eight
and fatted the nine
and chili-dipped the wedge
and bladed the sand wedge
and then there's Mister Three-Putt.
