Sassafras root is still used to flavor traditional root beer, although since sassafras was banned by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration because of the carcinogenicity of its constituent safrole, most commercial recipes do not contain sassafras. Some commercial root beers do use a safrole-free sassafras extract.
There are usually 18 holes in a golf course; some have 9 holes or some multiplier of 9 holes. I have played at golf clubs with 9, 18, 27 and 36 holes. However, a standard round of golf at most golf clubs / courses involves 18 holes.
Edgewood Park Golf Club was started in 1968 as a 9 hole course and in 1994, with the help of designer Jim Spears, was transformed into an 18 hole regulation golf course challenging for the intermediate and semi-pro alike. It is meticulously maintained by Course Superintendent Larry Ringenberg. It has 6,600 yards of golf from the blue tees for a par of 72. Course rating is 71.7 with a slope rating of 125. Signature hole is #14, a 513 yard par 5.
