We used a little bit of prison labor to do some odds and ends around the golf course

Almost 10% unemployment and these scum are using prison labor instead of some unemployed people?

Nice, huh?

REXBURG - Teton Lakes Golf Course held a ribbon cutting and a tournament for their new 9 holes. It's been a project in the making in Rexburg for several years.

Nearly 200 people that showed up Friday morning to play in the 5 man scramble. Golf enthusiasts are excited about the new greens, and it isn't going to cost taxpayers a dime.

Golfers love a new challenge. snip

The golf course funded this expansion over several years, and utilized some cost saving measures. Golf course designer Kevin Atkinson couldn't be more proud.

"Dollar for dollar, I think it's the best golf course that I can think of in the United States in the last few years to open up. We mined our own sand and gravel from the site. We harvested our own sod from the golf course. We used a little bit of prison labor to do some odds and ends around the golf course," said golf course creator Kevin Atkinson.

3. Slaves building golf courses? I thought we were better than that.

Well, actually, no, I didn't think that. What a sad society we are.
