ROGERS PARK
Is the art on your wall forever
slipping and tilting this way and that no matter how many times you fix
it? Try and stick about an inch-strip of
electrical tape on the bottom corners of the framed art, says Jason Loper, who
used the trick in his Rogers Park condo. It provides just enough traction
to keep the art (or small mirror or framed photo) in place. Click here for more ideas.
EDGEBROOK
At the
18-hole Edgebrook Golf Course, sinking the first hole under par might not be
too much of a challenge for a seasoned golf pro. Try doing it with a 200-yard water hazard in
the middle of you and the green. After
the rains last week, if your ball came to a rest an easy putt away from the hole,
you would have needed an amphibious golf cart to get from the tee to the mound
to make that putt. With most of the
course under water, any attempt at playing a round would have required a
generous supply of Mulligans (do-overs) and perhaps an electronic fish finder
to locate the balls that didn't make it.
