LOCAL GOLF: Work continues at Twisted Oaks
Twisted Oaks Golf Club continues construction on its new clubhouse.
The project took a major step forward with the removal of an old concrete pool shell. The thick reinforced concrete had stood in the way of previous development.
Energy Services Company donated equipment for its removal.
In its place, Twisted Oaks will build a practice putting green that will serve as an area to improve one’s putting – a focal point for the clubhouse and the site of many evening competitions.
Vertical construction of the clubhouse starts this week, and there are plans to use the covered pavilion for the Bowie High School Jackrabbit Invitational on March 9-10.

New Saint Jo Boy’s Basketball Coach Terry McLennan said the school’s family atmosphere is what prompted him to join the Panther family.
“This is an opportunity to be an important program but also part of a great community,” McLennan said. “I’ve been looking to get back to a small town environment like the one I grew up in and played ball and this should do that.”
McLennan played basketball in Hubbard outside of Waco. McLennan comes to town after being the assistant girl’s basketball coach in Grand Prairie.
McLennan contends he’s a defensive style of coach but says his team will focus on intensity.
