No. 20 Wild River Golf & Hiking Club
|
This is located on the wild
Temperance River whose rapid waters twist and roar down through a 220 foot
drop to meet and wed the Lake Superior's sky blue Gitchee Gummee. With water
everywhere, the only shot here is a perfectly timed ball executed to the
center of a postage stamp green. But whoa! Anything less than perfection
could lead to double, triple or quadruple bogies with the possibility of
scores that simply don't have names. Number 9 handicap. 175 Yards, Par
3 Print signed by artist Loyal H. Chapman

No. 21 Putters Golf and Lawn Bowling Club |
They say putting is half the game, here to every good putters delight it's the whole game. The only trouble here in Mammoth Flats Texas is that high maintenance expenses and union flag holders makes dues enormous. One can save, however, as only one club and ball are ever needed. With the greens stinted at 38,
enormous putts are possible. Good putters are usually happy tagging up. Great putters on occasion will go for it. Here we see Ben going for one enroute
to a course record 24. Number 17 handicap. 375 Yards Par 2

No. 22 Trevino Trails Horseshoe |
To the slicer this hole is an architectural
masterpiece. On the other hand, to the hooker it is a sadistical nightmare.
Usually they take one look and storm off in disgust. This is Lee's favorite.
No wonder, it plays clockwise and is conducive for setting up the famous
Trevino fade. Many double-eagle two's have been registered here and all by
the master himself. On this course all carts steer only to the right. Right
to left hitters are requested to take guides, although not mandatory. Number
9 handicap. 530 Yards Par 5 - Slicer's Dream Hole.

No. 23 Troubleshooters Golf Club & Wildlife Preserve |
This hole is in El Desolato Spain is Seve's
favorite. A troubleshooters' dream hole or anyone else that cannot keep the
ball on the fairway. With a team of 413 pelotrones, or ball finders to keep
the play moving, the troubleshooter can easily defeat the disgustingly
straight hitters that will choke under the unaccustomly frustrating
conditions. Number 6 handicap. 535 Yards Par 4

No. 24 The Hole of 10,000 Lakes
|
With a breathtaking view like
this, and the roar of a wild river as a backdrop, a golfer can't help but
feel strong and determined. But beware of things that no one can control,
mainly Minnesota's violent minute-to-minute weather changes that can detour
even a perfectly struck shot into disaster. However, after the Department of
Natural Resources granted equal tee times to the creatures, many errant
shots have been turned into birdies by a friendly gallery always willing to
help. Number 12 handicap. 235 Yards, Par 3

No. 25 Lester Prairie Municipal |
The last truly pure Country club
hole in this part of the continent. Although this was a copy of a discarded
hole from a prestigious club nearby, it is still the player's favorite,
especially since City Hall finally OKed the green transition from sand to
grass. A tough hole that would once keep you on your toes is now relatively
easy due to a local rate change which allows a free drop from cow pies.

No. 26 Mesabi Mine & Golf Course |
This was once a peaceful, easy
hole that leisurely worked it's way through the local countryside. But in
1892, when a local golfer named Bunyan took an extra large divot, everything
changed. Iron ore was discovered! Havoc ensued as iron quotas produced daily
course and distance changes, thus making the club selection nearly
impossible. Also adding to the hole's difficulty was always having in the
back of one's mind the thought that a blast of dynamite could occur on any
given backswing. Number 13 handicap. 275 Yards, Par 4

No. 27 North Shore Golf & Sea Club |
Sometimes this hole seems to be
made in heaven, but when a Minnesota northerly blows in, dropping
temperatures 90 degrees within minutes, this North Shore hole is a devil's
nightmare and is unequated as a test of skill and courage. But no matter how
damnable the conditions, the hardy Viking golfers still play. Asked why they
compete in this weather, the answer is always the same: "If you don't play
golf in this weather, you don't play golf at all." Number 1 Handicap.

No. 28 INDY 500 GOLF & RACING CLUB |
235 YARDS PAR 3
Here we see Arie Luyendyk teeing off on
Indy's signature hole. Because he is equally fast on the golf course or on
the track Fred Treadway (team owner) feels a few quick holes during pit
stops is a must to keep his team sharp and relaxed. In winning the 1997 INDY
500, the team captured the pole position and came in first and second, an
accomplishment never before equaled. A tribute to the Treadway Racing Team
and to Arie Luyendyk, one of the greatest drivers to ever circle the track.

No. 29 Wall Street Golf & Flying Club - 103
Stories
|
Located above the smog line, this airport is a pilot's
dream. Although wind conditions on this tight hanging runway create
unstable conditions, there is the reassuring thought that an over shot
runway is nothing more than a slight embarrassment. But more important,
this airport gives pilots and tycoons alike access to their cherished Wall
Street tee times. Handicap: No facilities

No. 30 Niagara Falls Golf Club & Barrel Riding Club |
This hole is a
great test to prepare one for the adventurous 18th across the rim. Here one
must pit himself and ball against shifting distances, whirlpools,
waterspouts, downdrafts, fog and even rainbows. Once on the green however,
each putt must be exquisitely timed to the MAID OF THE MIST'S lurching
decks. And by the way, watch out for runaway golf carts.

No. 31 Big Sur Golf & Flying Club |
To the cry of "Flaps up! Surf's up! Tee up!"
pilots, surfers and golfers test their skills at this soggy club with a
convenient seaside location. Mighty waves, raging tides and a well-watered
golf course await your approach. Despite unpredictable currents, landings
here are less challenging since the weather bureau took over tower duties.
Pilots beware of hooks, slices and errant tee shots. Carts and aircraft to
remain on paths at all times.
Handicap: watershear.

No. 32 Mount Everest Golf, Climbing & Flying Club |
This course is a nightmare for pilots,
climbers and golfers alike. Just getting there is a challenge equal to
conquering the mountain itself. The abominable weather conditions and an
altitude of 28,000 feet, score is never mentioned. Instead, golfers are
asked what hole level they achieved. Duffers come from all over the world
hoping to be immortalized as the first ever to hole out at the Top of the
World. Course record: 17th level, Sir Peregrine Hunnicutt, O.K.E., assisted
by Sir Edmund Hillary, 1951.

No. 33 Mount Rushmore National Public Links |
A demanding straight forward hole, yet one
of the easiest in the beautiful Black Hills area of South Dakota. However,
after Congress decided to redo the mountain with more deserving heroes,
the scores went up dramatically. Obviously, it was due to the intimidation
of the great ones watching your every move. Handicap change is being
considered. Number 15 handicap. Features Arnold Palmer, Jack Niclaus, Sam
Sneed, and Bobby

Hole number 11, with number 12 as a
backdrop, a spectacular setting, as in paradise itself, it gives one a
feeling of strength and success. A hole where fairytale dreams are born, and
nightmarish three dimensional horrors explode, the start of amen corner.

No. 10 Minneapolis Golf Club
230 Yards, Par 3
Nicklaus, Player, and Palmer getting ready to tee off on Minneapolis Golf
Club's signature hole. These gallant players were known as "The Big Three",
dominating the fame for well over 30 years. In that time, together they had
won 182 tournaments including 29 majors. They were also known as the new
guard, replacing heroes like Sam Snead, Nelson, and Hogan. Now in there
twilight years and battling a raft of new spars, they are still competitive
golfers capable of winning the big ones. A tribute to the greatest golfers
to ever play the game.

Duval, Phil Mickelson, Tim Herron, Lee Janzen, Tom Lehman, Dave Ogrin, Scott

No. 40 The
Greatest Shot Jack Nicklaus |
No. 40 The
Greatest Shot Jack Nicklaus
People have always asked me. "What is the
greatest shot you have ever seen?" There could only be but one. Time-1959
Trans-Mississippi Tournament. Problem - ball in two feet of dense thick wet
rough (the thickest I have ever seen) no air under the ball - grain against
him (an expert would have difficulty in wedging it out) 50 yards away loom
large pine trees that must be cleared. Here we see Jack Nicklaus meeting
this challenge. The gallery, thinking wedge to the fairway, was stunned as
Jack pulled out a four iron, turned and faced the trees. With his young
super strength, the club ripped the ball out of the tangled grass, cleared
the pines, and settled just short of the green, 275 yards away. Unlike other
great shots where the crowd explodes with anxiety - and outside of a few
witnesses that didn't understand the enormity of the shot - there was a dead
silence, no one could comprehend what they had seen. This unbelievable shot
helped lead to his 3-2 victory over runner-up Deane Beman. This shot could
never be duplicated again. Not even by the great man himself. The
Trans-Mississippi was Jack's first major championship and the first ever
defense of a long list of major titles.

No. 41 Edgewood
Tahoe Golf Course USS Open 1985
One of golf's great finishing
holes. Towering ponderosa pines and the spectacular Lake Tahoe, all
surrounded by the majestic Sierra Nevada Mountains. This is the beautiful
setting that our past champions Roberto DeVicenzo, Arnold Palmer, Miller
Barber and Billy Casper face as they make their creative shots into the well
guarded green. This final hole could well decide the 6th United States
Senior Open Championship.
