Bryant community keeps 105-year-old theater alive
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) – The town of Bryant, South Dakota holds a historic gem that's over 100 years old. The Bryant Theater, located on Main Street in the town of around 500 people, has been operating for 105 years, according to a news release. Major gold find near Spearfish, South Dakota reported In February of 1920, The Strand Theatre opened, introducing locals to the magic of the silver screen. The first film shown was 'Daddy Long Legs', a 1919 American silent comedy-drama. At the time, admission ranged from only 5 to 25 cents. The theater has been a staple to Bryant's Main Street ever since, and for the past 25 years, the theater has been kept alive by volunteers alone. After nearly a year of waiting for approval, the theatre has received 501(C)(3) non-profit status, which will help the historic landmark keep up with the modern times through fundraising efforts, according to the news release. The current fundraising project aims to restore the buildings interior and exterior walls, doors, and flooring, in order to maintain the integrity of the historic landmark. In total, the goal is to reach $66,500, and the project has already raised 80% of that goal, according to the news release. The Bryant Theater has meant a lot to the community for decades, and over the years, it's seen many challenges and obstacles, but something that hasn't changed is the community's desire to keep the doors open. In 1977, the theater was known as Dakota Cinema, and owner Lynn Klungseth kept the theatre open for more than two decades. He was one of the first theater owners in the state to install Dolby Digital sound, according to the Bryan Theater website. When he decided to sell in 1999, community members came together to purchase the building to prevent it from closing. The group sold theater shares and accepted donations to keep the theater up and running. The theater holds showings on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings, and the cost is $4 per ticket. The concession stands are filled with pop, candy and popcorn. Funds collected from ticket sales, concessions, and movie sponsorships let the theater take care of daily operations. Now that The Bryant Theater is listed as a non-profit, the board of directors encourages patrons to donate, to keep the movies playing–for decades to come. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Masters equipment from Cobra and TaylorMade, Callaway releases 'tour-only' drivers
Masters equipment from Cobra and TaylorMade, Callaway releases 'tour-only' drivers All the clubs that have been used to win the Masters since 2010, along with Masters-themed gear from Cobra and TaylorMade, plus new Callaway drivers Brian Harman won last week's Valero Texas Open using a new putter, which itself was noteworthy because the 2023 British Open champion had been playing his TaylorMade Daddy Long Legs mallet for years, but equipment junkies took extra notice because the putter he switched to was a prototype, zero-torque TaylorMade SK-ZT. The club has not been made available to the public, and Harmon did not release many details about it, but TaylorMade told me the putter has 2.5 degrees of loft, a 70-degree lie angle, and is 35.25 inches long. It is fitted with a 15-inch Winn grip. According to TaylorMade, Harman, who plays left-handed, tends to aim slightly right and then push putts back online, but with the new putter, it was 'point and shoot' for him. Harman's old Daddy Long Legs putter has a 67-degree lie angle, so this putter is more upright and allows Harman to get his eyes more over the ball, and the Pure Roll insert in the SK-ZT is softer than the insert in his old putter. The biggest difference between the two putters, aside from the size difference, is the balance. The Daddy Long Legs is face balanced, while the SK-ZT is a zero-torque putter, so it has toe-up balance and is designed to keep the face square to Harman's stroke path throughout his swing. "I looked at my stats from last year, and I probably had the best iron game of my career, approach to the green, andprobably my worst year from 10 to 20 feet putting," Harmon said after winning. "So still really good inside 10 feet, but that section there (10-20 feet) is where I was getting all my looks and I wasn't making any of them. I had toyed with the idea of switching putters for a while. I picked that one up on Tuesday this week, it felt really good and it rolls nice, just kind of freed me up a little bit." As I told you recently, if you are not happy about the way you're putting, it might be time to talk with a custom fitter and see whether a zero-torque putter like a Bettinardi Antidote, Evnroll Zero, Odyssey Ai ONE Square 2 Square, L.A.B. OZ.1 or PXG Allan is right for you. And now it would seem a TaylorMade zero-torque offering is coming soon.
