There used to be an airport around 61st and Yale; it looks like today's Urbana Ave was one of the runways. Interesting pics, I thought.

And just to the right of the pool is #1 on the par 3 course, the bunkers just up from that are by #18 green on the same course.

And just to the right of the pool is #1 on the par 3 course, the bunkers just up from that are by #9 green on the same course.

edit. you are correct. last time we played there we had to do it backwards. like Howzit.

[OU4LIFE]

sure they did, you just had to pedal them.
