Bass enjoys working with youth. Not only has he taught youth the fundamentals of golf, he has also coached baseball and is presently the junior varsity hockey coach for the Breckenridge-Wahpeton Blades. “I just like the enthusiasm they have for the game,” said Bass, who will be running a youth program at Pebble. The native of New Rockford, N.D. was club pro at Bois de Sioux for 13 years. The course has the distinction of straddling the Red River. The front nine is in North Dakota and the back nine is in Minnesota. Many golfers played the course for that distinction. Bass turned pro in 1984. In addition to serving as club pro at Bois de Sioux, Bass was the director of golf at the Hilton Tucson Conquistador in Arizona. He was also an assistant pro at three Arizona courses. Bass is well-acquainted with Pebble Lake. He has played in several pro-am tournaments on the local links. “It’s a great course and great facility,” said Bass. “This first year will be a little challenging because it will we will be a little late getting the shop stocked up.” Bass has the advantage of counting Pebble Lake greenskeeper Rick Odden among his acquaintances. Bass worked as a public address announcer at North Dakota State College of Science in Wahpeton for five years. Odden would come over to Wahpeton with Minnesota State CTC men’s basketball during that time. Jeff and his wife, Andrea, have a 20-year-old daughter, Lindsay, and a 15-year-old son, James.
