Erin Hills is a golf course located in Erin, Wisconsin. Construction began in 2004 and the course officially opened in 2006. It has been selected for the 2017 U.S. Open, which was announced on June 10, 2010. It also makes it the first USGA regular men's event ever awarded to a course owned by one person. The 2011 U.S. Amateur was also held at Erin Hills.
Erin Hills was built by Wisconsin developer Robert "Bob" Lang who used his own money to fund the course. Designers included Dr. Michael John Hurdzan, his partner Dana Fry and Ron Whitten. Determined to bring the U.S. Open to Erin Hills and at the suggestion of USGA officials, Lang made many changes to the layout of the course, dramatically changing several holes. Lang's ultimate goal of bringing the U.S. Open forced him to sell the course, due to financial difficulties, in 2009. Andrew Ziegler purchased the course.
As part of Ziegler’s commitment to upgrading the conditioning of the golf course, Ziegler said that Erin Hills would be operated on a “walking-only” basis starting in 2010. Unlike most modern courses, Erin Hills was not outfitted with paved cart paths.
The term U.S. Open or US Open is applied to "open" United States-hosted championships in a particular sport (or non-sport organized competitive gaming activity), in which anyone, amateur or professional, American or non-American, and generally, male or female, may compete.
The term most commonly refers to:
Other uses include (in alphabetical order by sport/game):
Erin is a Hiberno-English derivative of the Irish word "Éirinn". "Éirinn" is the dative case of the Irish word for Ireland - "Éire", genitive "Éireann", the dative being used in prepositional phrases such as "go hÉirinn" "to Ireland", "in Éirinn" "in Ireland", "ó Éirinn" "FROM IRELAND". The dative has replaced the nominative in a few regional Irish dialects (particularly Galway-Connamara and Waterford). Poets and nineteenth-century Irish nationalists used Erin in English as a romantic name for Ireland. Often, "Erin's Isle" was used. In this context, along with Hibernia, Erin is the name given to the female personification of Ireland, but the name was rarely used as a given name, probably because no saints, queens, or literary figures were ever called Erin.
According to Irish mythology and folklore, the name was originally given to the island by the Milesians after the goddess Ériu.
Erin go bragh ("Éire go brách" in standard orthography, dative "in Éirinn go brách" "in Ireland for ever"), a slogan dating from the 1798 revolution, is often translated as "Ireland forever". The etymology of the word as it drifted throughout the Gaelic region gave rise to its use by the early Scots to both mean Ireland and "west" - as Ireland lies to the west of Scotland.
A hill is a landform that extends above the surrounding terrain. It often has a distinct summit, although in areas with scarp/dip topography a hill may refer to a particular section of flat terrain without a massive summit (e.g. Box Hill, Surrey).
The distinction between a hill and a mountain is unclear and largely subjective, but a hill is universally considered to be less tall and less steep than a mountain. In the United Kingdom, geographers historically regarded mountains as hills greater than 1,000 feet (300 m) above sea level, which formed the basis of the plot of the 1995 film The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill But Came Down a Mountain. In contrast, hillwalkers have tended to regard mountains as peaks 2,000 feet (610 m) above sea level: the Oxford English Dictionary also suggests a limit of 2,000 feet (610 m) and Whittow states "Some authorities regard eminences above 600 m (2,000 ft) as mountains, those below being referred to as hills." The Great Soviet Encyclopedia defines hill as an upland with a relative height up to 200 m (660 ft).

If I could walk on water like jesus did before
If I knew all the answers to keep you coming back for more
If I could paint a picture and then cut off my own ear
If I chose all the right colors would this just dissapear?
Because we're running in vicious circles
Until we're dizzy with disdain
and there's miles and miles between us
Yet we still remain
So if I could write a poem and find the perfect words
and then put them all in music just so my voice gets heard
Because we're running in vicious circles
Until we're dizzy with disdain
and there's miles and miles between us
Yet we still remain
So if I could walk on water like jesus did before
and if I knew all the answers, I'd keep you coming back for more
Because we're running in vicious circles
Until we're dizzy with disdain
and there's miles and miles between us
and yet we still remain
We're running in vicious circles
Until we're dizzy with disdain
and there's miles and miles between us
Yet we still remain
