| 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 Click on picture to enlarge view |
 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 condusive 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 manditory. 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 eep 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 Print signed by artist Loyal H. Chapman Click on picture to

| 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 Print signed by artist Loyal H. Chapman Click on picture to

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 presigtious 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.
Number 15 handicap. 413 Yards, Par 4 Print signed by artist Loyal H. Chapman Click on picture to

 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 Print signed by artist Loyal H. Chapman Click on picture to

 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.

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. 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. Print signed by artist Loyal H. Chapman Click on picture to

 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. Print signed by artist Loyal H. Chapman Click on picture to

 No. 33 Mount Rushmore National Public Links |
365 Yards, Par 4 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.
