The Wing Ding Taprock Bar and Grill 971 SW Sixth Street, Grants Pass Style: Franks RedHot Wings The name says it all.

Then when you’re done, it’s only nine miles to Callahan’s Mountain Lodge. The…

For an amateur golfer, it may happen on every hole. The proper use of the short irons — 9-iron, pitching wedge, sand wedge and lob wedge — can lead to lower scores. That is why the short irons are often referred to as “scoring clubs.” As important as the short…
