photo by Dennis Dalman On a nippy morning last Monday, four buddies gathered, as they often do, at the Pine Ridge Golf Course in Sartell to shoot a few rounds. For at least the past five years, the friends meet at the course, and inclement weather usually doesn’t stop them. From left to right are Joe Kruchten, Waite Park; his brother-in-law Richard Abfalter, Sauk Rapids; Ollie Lesnick, St. Joseph; and Ken Rooney, Waite Park. “We never quit,” quipped Lesnick. “We just pass on.”
