About 

The World's Largest Golf Tee was constructed out of various widths of yellow pine wood, 60 gallons of glue and 120 lb of screws. The 6659 lb project took six months to complete. Future plans for the Golf Tee are to add an 18 foot diameter golf ball to the top of the Golf Tee and allow golfers to tee off from the inside.

Casey Country Club

In 1929 Bill Jones and several friends met, on what was then a portion of Mills Farm, for the purpose of laying out a golf course. They planned the layout of the course while standing near a log behind the present number six green. O. L. Lang contacted a Scotsman by the name of George Telford to assist with the design. Telford was a “Doodlebugger” and was in Montrose where he was drilling an oil well.

The Casey Country Club has a history streching over 80 years. The course, which opened in late 1929, was owned by the Mills Family until 1930 when the forty-three acres were purchased for $2500 to become the Casey Country Club.
