A handful of golf enthusiasts were honing their game Wednesday at the Whisper Creek driving range. The course had a steady stream of players, as well, even though temperatures hovered around 40 degrees.
But Pro Shop Manager Dave Bell confirmed Whisper Creek Golf Club, 12840 Del Webb Blvd., was filling up tee times for Thanksgiving morning - most from 9 to 11 a.m. - as the weather forcasts promised sunny skies and temperatures in the 50-degrees range.
