National Guard building golf course for wounded warriors

The Turkey Creek Golf Center will soon be home to a new course specially designed for the disabled.

Danny Baumgarter, owner of Turkey Creek, donated 20 acres to the Missouri Golf Association to build the nine-hole, par 3 course.

The National Guard is doing the groundwork for the course as part of a service project. Monday night, the Guard brought in heavy equipment and constructed tents to live in at the course.

The course will be specially outfitted with tee boxes and greens that are wheelchair accessible and can be driven on.

Wounded warrior veterans will play for free.
