Cleburne Golf Links ribbon cutting, open house set for Friday
The newly renovated Cleburne Golf Links will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 10 a.m. Friday with a special guest on hand.
Dale Hansen, Channel 8 sports anchor and host of the Dale Hansen Sports Special television show, will be serving as the master of ceremonies for the event.
“He’s an avid golfer,” said Charlie Hodges, city of Cleburne spokesman. “He loves the game and plays a lot.
“He called while he was on vacation to confirm everything with us. We’re very lucky to have him.”
Hodges said golf professional Craig Nieman encourages city residents to attend the ribbon cutting and bring a utility bill as proof of residency.
Golfers will be entered into the course’s computer system at this time to speed up the process of registering as a city resident.
