BROWN COUNTY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – Riding a wave of daytime temperatures in the 50’s & 60’s….The Woods Golf Club opened Wednesday thanks to the warm weather.
Mark Siegworth tell WLUK that his friends decided to play nine holes.
“We’ve been golfing the last few years where we get together. We’re all retired. We kind of retired all at the same time and we come out here, a great way to get together”
Before Mark continued along the course, he admitted, sun in the sky and a chance to golf this time of year in Wisconsin is rare.
When asked, when’s the last time he golfed in February….
“Never! This has never happened for us so we have been, you know, we’re thrilled!”
While patches of green grass are easy to spot, remnants of winter still remain on the course. But, you won’t hear Mark complain.
“We’re going to take it in. We know what the weather forecast is”
At Voyager Park in De Pere, plenty of people decided to advantage of the warmth.
Chelsie VanLieshout and her mom Toni are on their second day of fishing along the Fox River.

“It’s amazing. It’s going to be hard to go back”
But that’s what’s going to happen. Beloew freezing temperatures and snow back in the forecast for this weekend.
