MICHIGAN GOLFER ON THE ROAD
=============================
Lake Orion-Indianwood CC

The Michigan Golf Hall of Fame folks put together another enjoyable outing for this year's inductees; Ken Janke, Meriam Leeke, John Morgan and the fine folks of The Buick Open. We had the opportunity to catch some of the action from the event and will bring you some interviews done by Jack Berry and Susan Bairley in the coming weeks.

For now, you can view the 16 videos we have of Michigan Hall of Fame members at http://michigangolfer.tv/2005shows/ghf/

Pebble Beach, California -Cypress Point Golf Club
We reported a couple of weeks ago that we had visited the Country Club in Brookline Massachusetts and chatted with their staff about the book and movie, "The Greatest Game Ever Played, written by Mark Frost and directed by Tom Paxton. It was a companion piece to go with a 2005 video we did with Mike Shiels interviewing Paxton about the movie for the Michigan Golfer http://michigangolfer.tv/2005shows/greatestgame/ . As we were picking up a few goodies at the Country Club, Nathan Ollhoff, an Assistant PGA Golf Professional, suggested we pick up Mark Frost's latest book "The Match". "The Match" captures a storied match at Cypress Point between two amateurs, Ken Venturi and Harvie Ward and two professionals, Ben Hogan and Bryon Nelson.

At this week's Michigan Hall of Fame dinner, we had the chance to chat with Tom Chisholm, while the players were winding up their round, and he raved about the book. He also indicated that if he had one round to play, he would like to play it on the Cypress course.

Armed with the book and the conversation with Chisholm, we scheduled a visit to Cypress Point this week to do a little more research. Jim Langley, the club pro, who we had met in our last visit, almost 18 years ago, had recently retired. However, we did have an opportunity to look around a few minutes. A few minutes was enough, the course was staggering in its beauty. It also assisted in framing the great match that took place there in 1956.

Cypress Point Golf Club used to be in the rotation at the Bing Crosby tournament, but got bumped after the New York Times ran a story about Vice President Dan Quayle playing the course in 1990. The rub, was that the club, at the time, had an all-white membership. In September of that year, the Professional Golfers Association ruled Cypress Point ineligible for the 1991 A.T.& T. Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.

===============================================
OAKLAND HILLS' PROUD PGA PROFESSIONAL LEGACY
===============================================

From now until the PGA Championship in August, The PGA of America will be sending out a brief newsletter with insider facts and information about the Championship, the host club, the host community, and other golf-related topics that we hope golf enthusiasts around the world will find fun and interesting.

A Candid Moment with Walter Hagan
Before he was a flamboyant, charming and skilled major champion, Walter Hagen toiled and campaigned for social acceptance of the golf professional. Hagen's first head professional position was at Oakland Hills Country Club, where his golf shop was an old chicken coop on the south side of Maple Road.

From 1916 to 1919, during which time Hagen helped found The PGA of America, there began a legacy of high-profile and successful PGA Professionals at Oakland Hills.

A native of Rochester, N.Y., Hagen would later call Michigan home and would spend years in one of the guest rooms overlooking the first tee in a clubhouse that was opened in 1922, and has since undergone a magnificent renovation.
Pat Croswell, PGA head professional

Pat Croswell, the eighth in a proud roster of Oakland Hills head professionals, has been with the club since 1981. A native of Columbus, Ohio, Croswell turned professional in 1975, and after serving as an assistant at Inverness Club in Toledo, Ohio, arrived at Oakland Hills.

In 1986, at age 31, Croswell succeeded Al Mengert, a legendary player in Michigan PGA golf annals, as head professional.
"When I arrived at Oakland Hills, my goal was to get an assistant professional position at a great club," said Croswell. "When the position of head professional opened up, it was a dream come true. But, it also has been truly special to be part of the families that represent this club, and part of any golf professional's goal is to see them enjoying the game. I feel fortunate to be a part of this club and I still feel that way. It's one of those places you walk in and you know it's special.

"I have had wonderful assistants over the years who have gone on to great positions around the country. Their dedication and hard work has been a great thing for the membership."

Croswell, who has witnessed major championships and many special moments at Oakland Hills, including watching his childhood idol Jack Nicklaus compete, said his top moment in golf came when the club honored him for 25 years of service.

Since it hosted the U.S. Open in 1996, Oakland Hills has been the site of the 2002 U.S. Amateur and the 2004 Ryder Cup. This summer, Oakland Hills will host the 90th PGA Championship.

"I guarantee you that few other clubs or membership in the country has been able to do that in a 12-year span," said Croswell. "Augusta National Golf Club gives up its course annually, but its membership base is vastly different and not full-time residents."

Included in Oakland Hills' "Vision Statement" is a paragraph that symbolizes the membership's ongoing commitment to being a host of major golf.

"Our golf courses and members have played, and will continue to play an integral part in the history of golf in the United States. We are dedicated to providing the resources necessary to preserve our courses as championship venue and as hosts to state, national and international championships. Our members fully understand the responsibilities and sacrifices involved with our role in golf history and accept them gladly."

The words could easily have been written by Hagen, whose spirit smiles down from the upper floor of the majestic clubhouse as Oakland Hills once again prepares for another major championship.

PARDON OUR MISINFORMATION: CANDLESTONE GC IS A JERRY MATTHEWS DESIGN
=========================================================================
A couple of weeks ago, when we were reporting on the sale of Candlestone Golf and Resort, we indicated that it was a W. Bruce Matthews design. At last week's Michigan Hall of Fame dinner, Jerry Matthews pulled us aside and set the record straight by indicating that he was the designer. Our apologies for the mistake.

==============================================================
PGA OF AMERICA ANNOUNCES SEASON OF WOMEN'S GOLF INITIATIVES
==============================================================
The PGA of America recently announced a busy schedule of women's golf initiatives ranging from grassroots player development, an online video series, an alliance with the WNBA, Play Golf America Days and special events in conjunction with major spectator championships to help grow this influential segment of golfers and bring more women to the game.

PGA of America research revealed that women accounted for 63 percent of all the new players to the game of golf through 2006, while the National Golf Foundation reported in 2007 that the total women players in the U.S. grew to 64 million, an eight percent growth since 2002, including 926,000 junior girls ages 6 to 17 and 5.5 million women ages 18-and-older.

"The PGA of America recognizes the key role that women players have in the growth of the game of golf," said PGA of America President Brian Whitcomb. "Our Association is engaging our membership to reach out to their local communities; to encourage facilities to participate in American Express Women's Golf Month, to take advantage of Play Golf America Days and market to this influential segment of the game.

"The woman golfer is a vital key to the game's vitality, and we are pleased with the initial response to these programs in bringing more to the game and sustaining interest among many age divisions."

The women's initiatives coincided this week with The PGA of America presenting the 2008 PGA First Lady of Golf Award to LPGA and PGA Professional Carol Mann, who conducted a clinic Monday afternoon for the Rochester Chapter of the Executive Women's Golf Association.

JUNIOR GOLF JOURNAL TEES UP A GREAT START FOR YOUNG GOLFERS
===============================================================
The Junior Golf Journal, a series of books for young golfers by author Susan Greene, is a serious tool for helping junior golfers--ages 8 to 17--improve their game, and it's a handsome keepsake, as well.

The beautifully illustrated, spiral-bound volume includes tabbed dividers, a scorecard pocket and plenty of room for writing. Sections are devoted to Goal Setting; Golf Lessons; Statistics; Practice, Practice, Practice; The Longest Drive; Tournament Play; Rounds to Remember; A Different Course; It's A Ringer; and Free Form. Tips and advice, along with inspirational quotes from golf greats Jack Nicklaus, Nancy Lopez, Gary Player ("The harder I practice, the luckier I get") and others make this a highly useful book, and the charming illustrations by Dagne Angersbach Klavins add to its keepsake value.

"This book is designed to help junior players improve their game, track their progress, preserve golf memories...and have fun along the way," emphasizes author Greene of Troy, Mich., herself a club champion. She dedicates the book to her junior-golfer daughter, Jamie.

Susan Greene is author of five books, including a delightful series for younger children: The ABC's of Golf, Count on Golf, Consider it Golf and Swing into Opposites with Golf.

The Junior Golf Journal, from Excel Publishing, retails for $24.95 and can be purchased in bookstores, through online retailers and at http://www.childrensgolfbooks.com.

CRANBROOK INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE WILL HOST THE PGA CHAMPIONSHIP HISTORY EXHIBIT
================================================================================
The PGA Championship History Exhibit Presented by The Royal Bank of Scotland, opens May 23-July 30 at Cranbrook Institute of Science. This popular and historical exhibit offers an unprecedented opportunity to get an in-depth look at one of the sport's major tournaments.

"Cranbrook Institute of Science is proud to be a part of the excitement of the 90th PGA Championship by serving as the host site for this spectacular exhibit," says Institute Director Dr. Michael Stafford. "We know public interest will be very strong, and we're excited that his exhibit makes the museum the ultimate rental venue for the golf enthusiast."

The PGA Championship History Exhibit combines both golf artifacts and memorabilia that reveal the history and tradition of the PGA Championship and its past 89 champions. The exhibit features acclaimed memorabilia such as Jack Nicklaus' putter after capturing the 1980 PGA Championship, Phil Mickelson's wedge that clinched his victory on the 18th hole in 2005, a straw hat worn by Sam Snead and the legendary Walter Hagen's walking stick. Following its run at Cranbrook Institute of Science, a portion of the exhibit will move to Oakland Hills Country Club for the duration of the 90th PGA Championship.

Volunteers are needed to help staff this exhibit during its run at Cranbrook Institute of Science - to become a PGA volunteer, please contact Laura Dodd, Manager of Visitor Services, at 248 645.3211 or ldodd@cranbrook.edu.
