The flood of 2011 in Pierre-Ft. Pierre has cost the Pierre Governor golf team their Invitational tournament. Officials had hoped to have the tournament at another course in another city on the day it was scheduled, August 23rd, but teams that were coming to the Pierre Invitational were not receptive. Governor head coach John Knox said that Huron's Broadland Creek Golf Course had offered to host the tournament, but many of the teams that would come to Pierre were headed to Huron later that week for the Huron Invitational and they did not want to play the same course two consecutive tournaments. Coach Knox says that hopefully they will be able to put something together next year, but he is not optomistic that Hillsview Golf Course will be ready to play next year.
The Pierre Governor golf team is practicing where it can this fall. Due to the flooding this summer in Pierre-Ft. Pierre, Hillsview Golf Course was closed. Except for the putting green and chipping green near the clubhouse, Governor head coach John Knox says places to practice are at a minimum. There are a couple of holes on the course that the golf team has been allowed to use but other than that, coach Knox is having to take his team to courses out of town to play. 7 holes on the back 9 at Dunes Golf Course in Ft. Pierre are open and coach Knox says that they will use those holes as well today and tomorrow. Coach Knox says the team will head to Huron on Monday and Tuesday of next week for playoff matches. Pierre's first tournament is next Thursday in Spearfish and Friday in Rapid City.
