Minnesota Golfer - Summer 2010 - 19

Ghosts of greens gone under and forsaken
fairways still resonate in the memories of those
who walked them.

" We're driving on the eighth fairway right here. "
-Don Dostert, piloting his Lincoln Town Car down Wachtler Avenue, 2010
Don Dostert is at the wheel, heading south on Dodd Road in Mendota Heights, just north
of Minnesota Highway 110. A visitor has taken Dostert up on his offer to show him around the
grounds of the golf course he once knew so well.
Dostert turns right on Willow Lane. He looks up the hillside at the brick ranch-style house on
the corner.
" The clubhouse was here. It looked a lot like that, " he says.
Dostert is playing tour guide because, well, who else could? Is there anyone else around who
knows this turf in the same way Dostert does?
Probably not.
Except that Dostert's turf is not just turf anymore. Sprinkle in houses, swingsets and mailboxes,
cul de sacs, driveways and winding streets, and there you have it.
They paved paradise.
Dostert tromped up and down the hills and valleys of this part of Mendota Heights 70 years ago.
It was his stomping grounds as a young caddie on the grounds of Bunker Hills Country Club.
" They paved paradise and put up a parking lot. "
-Joni Mitchell, penning a hit song from a Honolulu
hotel room, 1970
