This week we have the honor of celebrating St. Patrick’s Day. At the University of Colorado we take this holiday just as seriously as they do at Saddleback Golf Club: A beer in one hand a golf club in the other and a belly full of classic corned beef and cabbage.
Saddleback’s Connection with St. Patrick’s Day
Saddleback is home to a small leprechaun community. Forty to fifty Leprechauns ranging from two to 9849 years old have called Saddleback home since 2005. They relocated from Houston, TX after the Lucky Charms Famine of 2004. If you play this Thursday you might find yourself chasing a little green man instead of that little white ball.
Leprechaun Encounters
Ever lose a golf ball that you hit right down the middle of the fairway on the 18th hole? LEPRECHAUN! Ever had a full beer at the beginning of a hole and it’s empty before you finish? LEPRECHAUN!
"Saddleback’s leprechauns enjoy St. Patrick’s Day like my dog like peanut butter. A LOT! Last year while playing a round at Saddleback on St. Patty’s my roommate ,Tom Collin’s, had his shorts pulled down mysteriously during his back swing."
