A sad day over in my neck of the woods. A total loss....
100-year-old golf club in Parsonsfield was destroyed by fire overnight. The fire was reported late Wednesday night at Province Lake Golf in the western York County town. Fire departments from both Maine and New Hampshire responded to fight the blaze.
