I love rockclimbing,I didnt put bone to rock this summer due to letting a finger heal up from the yr before but am gonna head back to the rockgym this winter and get back in shape
Okay, I guess hole 17 at Grignon Park in Kaukauna, WI is a legitimate par 4 and I DO enjoy that hole a good deal. On our home course in Fond du Lac, WI, hole 17 is a signature. It is a 425 ft par 3 that has a raised fairway that snakes right then ...

Isn't nine the only hill with a fair up hill climb? I'm struggling to picture the hole.
I might have to go with Hole number 3 (Heartbreak Hill) at Cass Benton Hills in Northville, MI. This hole is on the top of a sledding hill and plays downhill 740 feet. Great views.

brett@sickdisc.com said… - I'd love to see how your dyes turn out. I'm a big fan of seeing original artwork dyed. If you have any questions, I'll answer as best I can. I'm not one of those who keep my technique a secret. yes, i have vinyl cutter. no, I don't do clip-art.
