    Secrets are few and far between in Conrad, or any small town for that matter.
    However the Pondera Golf Club (PGC) may be a secret to a lot of folks.
    For way too many years the PGC, located a little more than a mile west of the stoplight on Main St., has been referred to as “The Country Club” thus giving the impression that it is a private membership club.
    Nothing could be further from the truth. The PGC is a non-profit and open to the public not only for golfing, but other functions such as wedding receptions, family and class reunions, gatherings like the Conrad Chamber of Commerce or the Red Hat Ladies, business meetings, no matter how big or small.
    With a full liquor license, the PGC is the only eatery/tavern in Conrad with a really cool view.
    You can look out over the golf course and back towards Conrad, either from inside an air-conditioned smoke-free building or out on their covered patio while you sip on your favorite beverage.
    The restaurant portion of the PGC has a special every Friday. This week it just happens to be stuffed green peppers, whipped up by assistant club manager Teri Jo Fitzpatrick.
    If you happen to like a special dish, you can even ask her to fix it up for the Friday special and if at all possible, she will try to get out on a Friday night.
    An every-night-special that is becoming extremely popular is the “Bucket of Beer and Basket of Wings.”  “For $14 you get a six-pack of beer and many, many wings,” says Fitzgerald. Asked how many is many, she came back and chuckled,  “More than you can eat.”
    Of course there are the every-restaurant staples of hamburgers and fries and hot dogs as well as chicken and beef strips, beer battered mushrooms and mini-tacos.
