The record-breaking warm temperatures Wednesday allowed for an early start to golf season.
Fairchild Wheeler Golf Course in Fairfield announced Wednesday morning that it officially opened its seasonal course to the public.
"People are caged up in the winter waiting for the warm weather to come," says Irv Schemansky, who controls the tee times at the golf course.
Employees at Fairchild Wheeler Golf Course say the course opens at 9 a.m., but people were lining up to get on the course at 7 a.m.
