KEY SPORTS Brewers earn berth in postseason play THE MILWAUKEE BREWERS are headed for post- season play this month after finishing first in the Central Division of the National League. The Brewers will start October with a best three out of five series, with the winner playing a seven- game series for the National League Championship and the right to advance to the World Series. Miller Park, just west of downtown Milwaukee, is considered one of the top three parks in the Major Leagues. Its retractable roof guarantees every game will be played. While there is ample parking, many prefer to use hotel shuttles or shut- tles from restaurants such as Saz's State House, 5539 W. State St., or the Milwaukee Brat House, 1013 N. Old World 3rd St. For detailed info on postseason games, visit www.brewers.com. If you're looking for tickets, your best bet is www.theticketking.com.

The bugs are gone, the humidity has moved on, and the temperatures are as comfortable as listen- ing to Dean Martin, the king of cool. Sure there are some nasty days to let us know that winter is around the corner, but, for the most part, this is the time to tee it high and let it fly. Many courses also have fall discounts – particular- ly this year since the spring was so wet – and the courses aren't as crowded. Moreover, the landscape is bursting with color as the foliage turns to golds, oranges, reds, and browns. It all adds up to a golfer's delight. Here are a few favorites at this time of year: • Brown Deer:A former stop on the PGA tour's regular season schedule, Brown Deer is always stunning and the conditions are impeccable with extremely fast and true greens. Thousands of mature trees line every fairway of this course built in 1929. 414-352-8080, www.milwaukeecountygolfcourses.com • The Bull at Pinehurst Farms: There are enough trees, streams and ponds, and elevation changes at this spectacular Jack Nicklaus Signature course in the northern Kettle Moraine area to make you marvel at Mother Nature. It's well worth the drive to Sheboygan County. 920-467- 1500, www.golfthebull.com
