Last Sunday’s Rochester Democrat and Chronicle included a feature section: Golf Guide ‘07. Here it is online, although fair warning: the D&C puts their stuff behind a firewall after awhile.
The cover story is a compilation of peoples’ favorite holes — i.e., a fantasy course built out of 18 holes from local courses, each nominated by [...]
