Bi-Rite Market and Dolores Park Works will lead the community in a morning scrub-up

there to help out. If you love Dolores too and want to keep her as a great local
 venue and a beautiful and historic neighborhood park; please meet us at 9 am in
 front of 18 Reasons, 36774 18th Street. We will be treated to coffee and light 
breakfast and then head out to give Dolores some love. We should be at the DPWorks

wear suitable clothes and closed-toed shoes, rain or shine. Bring a water bottle
 if you have one. DPWorks will take care of the rest.For more information contact

SF Weekly Feature on Our Very Own Gleneagles Golf Course

By Joe Rosenheim; Photo by Evan DuCharme (sfweekly.com [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001sSMVLRv7LSSdEf3NOaiAg3hvjnnq0NQZ_V-t86eisWi2iQdwAmOuobrZZGR-95PlISwZTkCNiYmLkzZnkql2GV6_uu-SQsLTnLQdUoiWaFPeshUolocEpuNcIJNRpWTxBF6F2SP6tbfp2mJWQq009pivgQBex4D1oq1ytXe2JZEoO5zUqYWxPx2m6QEM33Y6])

Nestled among the tall eucalypti that populate Visitation Valley's McLaren Park 
is one of the weirdest and trickiest municipal golf courses you're ever likely to
see. It's abutted by housing projects, patronized religiously by a group of local
diehards across the socioeconomic strata, and unknown to most of the city. It is,
in other words, the most San Francisco of golf courses.

Welcome to Gleneagles, an enchanting little spot notable for its majestic views,
 abnormal terrain, and paucity of golfers.

An 18-hole course that's built on nine holes (players essentially play the same 
nine fairways twice, but with different starting points on the second orbit), Gleneagles
is known to stymie and frustrate practically any golfer, however skilled, who lacks
familiarity with its many idiosyncrasies. Course regulars fondly relate stories 
of winning money from top-flight players; the course was once described by Lee Trevino
- after going for what he'd thought would be a leisurely warm-up to the U.S. Open
- as the hardest he had ever played.
