Golf Trip Pays Off for South Sioux City Man
LINCOLN, NEB. (Nov. 1, 2011) —John Bzoski of South Sioux City, Neb., is the winner of a $1,000 golf merchandise gift card in the Golf Nebraska contest. The contest, sponsored by the Nebraska Department of Economic Development’s Division of Travel and Tourism, required entrants to play three different public or semiprivate golf courses in Nebraska.
Bzoski and his wife joined another couple on a “Golf the North” trip. The group played the Atkinson-Stuart Country Club, O’Neill Country Club, Plainview Country Club and Summerland Golf Course near Ewing. Bzoski said he was surprised by the immaculate condition of the courses.
“There are a lot of undiscovered gems in the small-town, nine-hole courses,” Bzoski said. “A couple of the courses were like ‘Field of Dreams,’ nearly hidden among the farm fields.”
The contest winner said he’s played several Nebraska courses in the past and would like to explore more of the state’s courses.
“It’s always fun to play new courses, and the hospitality is as good as the golf,” Bzoski said.
Nebraska is home to nearly 200 public and semiprivate golf courses. A list of courses, sample trip itineraries and links to articles and videos about Nebraska golf are available at VisitNebraska.gov/golf.
GolfNebraskaBlog.com features reviews of several Nebraska golf courses, including photos and videos, and the GolfNebraska Facebook page is a place where golfers can connect and share news about courses and events.
