Does anybody know what on earth this thing is over by the driving range at TRBC? I'm having a hard time not laughing at the idea of some sort of high tension wire version of the lumberjack games.

Oh yeah I remember that, They had pictures up on the liberty website... but i thought it was just some stupid liberty kid climbing a power pole

You need the sudden stop to re-start your heart. Just ask Mike Schmidt.
