Scottie, Michael and Frank Brame, appropriately, were the first group to tee off Thursday morning, shortly after the doors opened to the renovated par-3 Bringhurst Golf Course in Alexandria.
The elder Brame and his son and nephew spearheaded a two-year "Save the Brink" effort to renovate the nine-hole course that was built in the 1920s and bills itself as the oldest par-3 course in America.
Mayor Jacques M. Roy and City Councilman Chuck Fowler were among a small group that showed up for the reopening of the 793-yard municipal course at 2822 Masonic Drive. The city-owned course closed after Jamie Trotter gave up the family lease on the course in 2006.
