Today’s paper has a great article about the efforts underway to rehabilitate Bringhurst Golf Course, a project that I was originally interested in months before the Mayor’s election (and one I am really happy to return to as a member of the administration).
The “Save the Brink” project, spearheaded by Michael, father Scott and cousin Frank, has received $100 pledges from approximately 65 individuals, as well as $55,000-60,000 in larger-scale contributions.
Bringhurst, originally known as Mashie Golf Course, is one of the three oldest par three courses in the nation, perhaps the longest continually-operated, though I’ll have to get back to you on that.
It’s a unique asset for the City of Alexandria. There aren’t many par three courses in the State– and there are even fewer courses located in the middle of town.
If you want to help out or donate to the cause, give me or Daniel a call at 318-449-5009.
Or, as instructed by a commenter on the newspaper’s website:
You may contribute to the project by making your check payable to: Central Louisiana Community Foundation-Bringhurst Project. Mail your check to: Central Louisiana Community Foundation, P.O. Box 66, Alexandria, LA 71309. You will receive an acknowledgment of your tax deductible donation.
