CHASKA, Minn. – First sign your morning is off to a bad start is when the shuttle bus driver begins our journey to Hazeltine National from the Minneapolis airport Marriott with: “OK, not sure exactly where we’re going but we’ll give it a try.”
Short answer: the Santa Claus-looking fella did indeed get us lost somewhere amid the Minnesota farm country until we came across a kindly state trooper who sent us in the right direction.
In our man’s defense he’d, “been awake since 2 (a.m.) when my bus wouldn’t start.”
Talk about a bad day.
