FROM THE editor

If I could save time in a bottle...

My favorite season is here, and along with it comes the bittersweet knowledge that the times, they are a-changin.’ It makes me want to capture every moment and just tuck them away somewhere, in order to bring them out again and savor the feelings I get when I’m enjoying these amazing days with my family.

I feel my children are growing up way too fast, too soon, and that’s why it’s more important than ever to make the most of every day with them. And there’s nothing like the days of summer, at the beach, at an amusement park, barbecuing on the deck or just being lazy in the summer sun (or shade.)

As I put together this edition of Explore CNY, I paid special attention

to the events in the calendar. There are so many great opportunities to have fun in the summer – from festivals downtown to programs at our local parks.

There are concerts at the Skaneateles Festival, on the lawn in at Lorenzo in Cazenovia and at Beard Park in Fayetteville. Every weekend presents a dilemma – what event to choose.

For those who just want to hang on the beach, there’s plenty of those nearby (see

page 7 for a few.) And if it’s thrills you seek, there’s theme parks galore. Or, why not try out “nature’s roller coaster,� whitewater rafting. In this edition you can read about Whitewater Challengers, an outfit that offers this exciting adventure on the Black River.

Interested in competitions? Why not try one of the races offered, for every ability, that support great causes. Or how about doing some angling in one of the many fishing tournaments – see page 22.

As I wade through the days of summer, I realize I can’t just suspend time in a bottle.

I know, however, that the time shared with my family will live on through my children, and Central New York is bursting with fun, family opportunties to create new memories.

Pictured is Timber Banks Golf Course in Baldwinsville, designed by Jack Nicklaus, which offers one of the area’s sternest tests.

Looking for a challenge?

On the following pages are nine great holes at public courses around Central New York. Some made the list for their confounding obstacles while others just provide a fair test and a pretty view.

All are worth checking out.

Summer 2015

Seven Oaks - #1 Par 4 – 335/405/433

It may not be the signature hole, but the first at Seven Oaks provides as stiff a challenge as any hole on the course. With the campus as a backdrop, a good tee shot to the landing area in front of the creek leaves an uphill second shot to a well-bunkered green with a lateral hazard looming on the left. The green slopes severely in the front, up to a large plateau in the back. A par will make even the best golfer smile … until he realizes there are 17 more challenges ahead.

Timber Banks - #2

Par 5 – 420/494/502

At 500 or so yards, with little bunkering and no water, accomplished golfers will look at this hole as a birdie opportunity.

But while birdies can be had, so can snowmen. More of a semi-circle than a dogleg, woods on both sides find more than their fair share of errant shots, and any shot with a left-to-right tail on it will have the owner reaching into their pocket for another ball. The hole culminates in a long, narrow green that looks pool table flat, but has subtle, unrecognizable breaks. Members at the course often play the hole with three mid-irons, and happily walk away with par.

Green Lakes - #1 Par 4 – 395/363/355

The first hole at Green Lakes isn’t the best hole on the course. It doesn’t provide the stiffest challenge or the most unique experience.

What it does provide is the best view. Waiting for your round to get underway at this beautiful spot doesn’t seem like a wait at all. The hole cascades down the side of a steep hill to an undulating fairway, leaving a short iron to a bowl-shaped green. But it’s the vistas from the tee box that you’ll remember.

Erie Village - #16 Par 4 – 294/275/203

No guts, no glory. This tiny little hole is one of the best short par-4s in Central New York. The hole can be played around the water with a long iron and wedge, or straight across the pond to the smallish green with a driver. The carry from the back tees is less than 260 yards, so it’s drivable for advanced players, but danger lurks on all sides. So what’s it gonna be?

Lay up, and work for a par, or bang one over the hazard and make a birdie? Like I said … no guts, no glory.

See golf, page 6

44772_5

It took a lot of imagination for Jack Nicklaus’ team to carve this hole out of the woods and fields hard by the Seneca River. Like many holes on this tricky course, it is protected by the three Ws: woods, waste areas and water. Target golf at its finest, you may end up hitting driver, 8-iron, 7-iron and be in good shape. But Timber Banks is known for greens that play tricks, and the second is no exception, with a massive swale in the middle of the green that can send balls skipping off in any direction to the collection areas beside the green. Playing it safe is usually the way to go, but on this hole, playing it safe is hard.

Radisson Greens - #3 Par 5 – 437/514/578

The third at Radisson regularly makes lists of the area’s top holes, and for good reason. This threeshot par-5 offers multiple challenges to low- and high-handicappers alike. The tee shot comes out

of a wooded shoot down to a landing area in front of a large pond – but don’t go too far, or you’ll be penalized before you even get started. From there, the second shot is a lay up to a fairway that gets narrower the more you try to bite off. If you manage the first two shots unscathed, you have a short iron over the edge of the pond to a small, sloping target. Good luck.

Foxfire at Village Green - #3

Timber Banks - #18

Par 3 – 180/155/133

Pick your poison. It’s picturesque from the tee, but don’t let that fool you. If you protect too much from the woods on the right, you’ll pull it into the water on the left. If that water gives you a chill, you might over compensate and send one into the bushes. And if you hit it straight at the pin, make sure you don’t go long, as that’s dead as well. Maybe it’s better just to stand up on the tee, enjoy the view and let your partner go first.

edge of a large lagoon to a fairway that works away from you and to the right. If you bite off too much, you’ll be hitting your third from the drop zone.

Bite off too little and you’ll be out of reach for your second shot. Hit the perfect drive and you’re still left with a treacherous second shot to a green that cozies up to the other end of the pond. Although Conklin is a bit of a drive from Syracuse, tests like these make it worth the trip.

Par 4 – 470/400/361

Timber Banks may be the area’s sternest test of golf, and that holds true right up to the last hole.

The 18th is a long, soft dogleg guarded the entire length of the hole by a lateral hazard that opens up into a greenside pond. With a good drive, most players will have a mid- to long-iron into a narrow undulating green. With the pond short and left, bunkers short and right, and a weedy embankment long, there are no good bailouts, so you have to be confident that your shot will find the putting surface. And after the previous 17 holes at Timber Banks, confidence is in short supply.

Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park in Mexico, N.Y.‌ Family fun close to home; park has new owners After 45 years of building a beautiful campground and providing wonderful family memories for adults and children of all ages, Ed and Barb Lighthall have decided to retire and pass their legacy on to Bob and Marion Palmer, the new owners of Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park in Mexico, N.Y. Bob and Marion were both born and raised in Port Jervis, NY. After graduation from college, these high school sweethearts tied the knot and pursued jobs in their career fields. During the past 30 years, Bob and Marion have lived in Charlotte, NC, while raising their family, working at various companies and actively serving in their church and community. They have three grown children (Katy, Adamand Sara) and five grandchildren (Alex, Abby, Adriana, Colton and Jeremiah).

The Palmer family has spent many years camping, hiking and backpacking. Bob and his son Adam hiked the entire Appalachian Trail together and Bob and Marion have dreamed for years of owning and operating their own campground, and their dream has come true.

As many people know, Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park in Mexico offers fun activities for families wishing to “get away,� relax and enjoy being outdoors. The Little Salmon River provides a peaceful, serene atmosphere to help you kick back and enjoy the beautiful outdoors. Campers of all ages enjoy wading, tubing and sun bathing around the huge “flatrock� at the river’s edge. One of the most popular recreation activities for camping guests — the Jumping Pillow — will be in full operation and kids of all ages will have a blast!

Bob and Marion Palmer, the new owners of Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park.
