No place for the timid

Champions Golf Course is a string of pearls with a gem thrown in for good measure. Famed golf course architect Robert Trent Jones, Sr., re-designed what was formerly Winding Hollow Country Club in 1948. It is viewed in many circles as central Ohio's most challenging public course. Jones believed that golf should be a no risk, no reward activity and No. 13 is a perfect example of how his designs encouraged daring play.

Carl W. Grody, a staff writer for GolfOhio.com, wrote a beautiful course review of Champions that explains better than Oldgolfdawg ever could why No. 13 belongs in his "Elegant Eighteen." Check it out here: Golf Ohio: Champions Golf Course: Just Remember These Two Things

Included among Jones' many esteemed designs are Spyglass Hill in Pebble Beach, Calif., and Golden Horseshoe (Gold course) in Williamsburg, Va.

  1. There's no lawn bowling going on up in Ashtabula at the moment. I walked to work for a week during the last winter I survived up there. A snow plowing crew buried my car in mountain of snow so high I figured it would be easier just to walk.
