How's this for a stirring walk up 18:)
« on: July 06, 2012, 06:53:59 PM »
Funny, but since this course re-opened, everyone is singing it's praises that it's back.  With good reason too - they finally got the old vampire owner to sell and the new owners are a lifetime golf family and fixed it up so well, people are really coming back!  It was sorely missed:)  Nevertheless - back in the '80s the club had to ask the state to keep the inmates away from that fence - they kept heckling the ladies' league as they came up 18

Name that course:)

It was once a prison and once a psychiatric center.  Sometimes both at the same time:)
