THE MICHIGAN PGA MAKES THREE MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENTS
By Kelly Hill
The Michigan PGA made three major announcements Tuesday morning in a
press conference at Shanty Creek Resort, the site of this week's
Michigan PGA Championship. The Michigan Section announced Tuesday
that Kevin Helm has been named to replace Ken Devine as executive director
of the Michigan PGA. Helm, 37, has been serving as the section's
director of operations since 1998. He joined the section as
tournament director in 1996. "Kevin Helm as been my right arm for
nine years,"Devine said. "He understands the section's needs and goals
and is fully capable of implementing them."

Devine will officially retire Nov. 1*. "Our tournament program is
the envy of the nation," Helm said. "All of the good things that are
happening are because of a lot of good people. I am looking forward
to carrying on what's been going on in Michigan."

The Michigan PGA also announced Tuesday that it will be relocating
its headquarters from its current Livonia offices to the grounds of Eagle
Eye Golf Club at Hawk Hollow in East Lansing. Eagle Eye opened in
2003 and was designed by Chris Lutzke in collaboration with acclaimed
architect Pete Dye.

"Almost every Michigan PGA member can get there within a two-hour
drive," Devine said. The section current has 900 members and
apprentices. "The facility can be useful in staging junior clinics
and PGA learning programs such as "Play Golf America."

Construction of a new office facility, to be located between the
first and ninth fairways at Eagle Eye, is expected to begin this fall and
ready to be occupied next spring.

The Michigan PGA's third announcement Tuesday morning was that the
section, sponsor Detroit Newspapers and Shanty Creek Resort and
Club have inked a five-year deal to continue hold the Michigan PGA
Championship on the resort's Legend and Cedar River courses.
"One of my major objectives prior to retirement was to solidify a
long-term extension for our PGA Championship at Shanty Creek,"
Devine said. "Shanty's facilities and quality are not easy to come by.
Plus, we have incredible rapport with Shanty's owners, management and
staff."

Mission Point Resort-The Greens
Mission Point Resort has one of the great putting courses in
Michigan. Other great putting courses include the ones at Hawk Hollow
and Buck's Run. The Greens at Mission Point consist of 18 holes that are
framed against the waters and lake going traffic of the Great Lakes. This
Mission Point has got it together big time. Is there a better place to
kick back in Michigan than on the porch of Mission Point? Congrats
to GM Tim Russell for continuing to make this one of the Midwest's great
resorts.

Wawashkamo Golf Club
We did the weekly MGN radio show from the clubhouse of Wawashkamo GC.
They were hosting the 3rd Annual Hickory Sticks Golf Tournament this
past week. They had over 50 golfers play the couse that renown golf
architect and golfer, Alex Smith created in 1898. The club was hosting
its 3rd Annual Hickory Classic. As part of the tournament, they partnered
with the Mackinac State Historic Parks and produced, a dinner and program,
"Fore! The History of Golf on Friday evening. The dinner, for cusine
buffs included a Scottish Cheedar Cheese Soup, Steak Bermarol,
Crusted Halibut and Clapshot and Bread Pudding with Whiskey Sauce. On
hand were Phil Porter and Tim Putnam from the Michigan State Historic
Parks staff and Fred "Fritz" George, PGA pro of the club and Kathy and
Sonny Chappie, tournament organizers.

Grand Hotel
The golf course at Grand Hotel has some age on it as well. Built in
1901, the Jewel was renovated by Jerry Matthews, shortly after he
designed the Woods course. This is probably the only place in America
where you are driven to the second nine by horse and carriage. The
Grand Hotel has a great one page back to back ad in the latest Golf
for Women; a nice touch by their advertising folks.

POLLACK WINS MICHIGAN PGA CHAMPIONSHIP
By Tim Hygh
Joe Pollack, a 36-year-old teaching professional from Grand Rapids,
shot 72 on Shanty Creek's Cedar River course in Wednesday's final
round to win the 83rd Michigan PGA Championship presented by Detroit
Newspapers. Pollack's three-round total of 66-72-72-210 gave him a
victorious total of 6-under-par, 1 shot better that runner-up Ron
Beurmann in the $80,000 event.

"This is the top golf moment in my life, for sure. I was so nervous
before the round, and I hit my drive on the opening hole right down
the middle. It settled me down, said Pollack, who teaches at Boulder
Creek CC, where his wife Amy, an expectant mother, is director of
instruction. He also teaches at Thousand Oaks GC. This was only
Pollack's second appearance in the Michigan PGA Championship. He
finished T-25 in 2003, and collected $9,500 for the win. "This money goes right into the baby fund."

The three-round, $80,000 Michigan PGA Championship was played on
Shanty Creek's Cedar River and The Legend courses.

MICHIGAN GOLFER TV--RYDER CUP-THE 60'S
This was a tough decade for the Brits as they managed only a tie in
the five Ryder Cups. In the 60's Arnold Palmer made his debute and
eventually posted 23 career points in 32 matches. Matches were
reduced to 18 holes from 36, fourball matches were introduced, overall
play was extended from three days from two, American's mastered the
"punch" shot to twart those Atlantic Ocean winds, Ben Hogan, in one of his
longest speeches said at the dinner,"Ladies and gentlemen, the United
States Ryder Cup Team - the finest golfers in the world," and then
sat down, and Jackson's Dave Hill began his Ryder Cup career .
Finally, in one of golf's most memorable moments of sportsmanship,
Nicklaus, playing in his first Ryder Cup Matches, conceded a
two-footer to Tony Jacklin.

Join Bill Shelton, "The Haig" and Arnold Palmer as they reminise
about the Ryder Cup, the 60's and Palmer's friendship with "The Haig".

IS THERE A GRAND RAPIDS GOLF HISTORIAN IN THE HOUSE?*
Dear MGN

After doing an extended search on the internet to no avail, I am
turning to you for some information.

I am having a discussion with a friend of mine who insists that once
upon a time, there was a country club located in the Ottawa
Hills-East

Grand Rapids area, specifically on Mackinaw Road. I've looked
everywhere I can think of but can find no reference to a golf club in
this area. We both live in East Grand Rapids, just next to the Ottawa
Hills area, and it's been pointed out that a particular house on
Mackinaw Road was the old clubhouse for this golf course.

Can you shed any light on this subject? Thanks for your help in this
matter.

19TH HOLE
A man comes home from work and is greeted by his wife dressed in a
sexy little nightie. "Tie me up," she purrs, "and you can do anything
you want." So he ties her up and goes out for a round of golf.

______________

A golfer asked his friend, "Why are you so late?" The friend replied,
"It's Sunday. I had to toss a coin between going to church or playing
golf and it took 25 tosses to get it right!"

______________

A gushy reporter told Jack Nicklaus, "You are spectacular, and your
name is synonymous with the game of golf. You really know your way
around the golf course. What's your secret?"

Nicklaus replied, "The holes are numbered."
Thanks and a Tip of the Tam to Jack Minzey for these gems.

RYAN MOORE TO JOIN ARNIE AT COUNTRY CLUB OF DETROIT
The King of amateur golf this summer will join "The King," Arnold
Palmer, and 29 other past winners in the greatest gathering ever of
U.S. Amateur Champions to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Arnold
Palmer's triumph in that event - a moment Palmer acknowledged as "my
turning point in golf."

Ryan Moore, 21, of Puyallup, Wash., and the University of Nevada-Las
Vegas, will join Palmer and 29 other fellow U.S. Amateur champions in
teaming to create turning points in the lives of children in urban
Detroit with the inaugural Arnold Palmer Turning Point Invitational.
The two-day event begins with a dinner Sunday, Aug. 29, followed by a
one-day pro-am Aug. 30 at The Country Club of Detroit, site of
Palmer's triumph in 1954.

Moore capped one of the greatest summers in amateur golf history
Sunday by coming from behind to edge Luke List, 2 up, to capture the
U.S. Amateur championship at Winged Foot Golf Club in Mamaroneck,
N.Y. Moore previously won the NCAA Division 1 title, the U.S. Amateur
Public Links and the Western Amateur.

Joining Palmer and Moore in the inaugural Arnold Palmer Turning Point
Invitational are Sam Urzetta (1950), Harvie Ward (1955, 1956), Gary
Cowan (1966, 1971), Bob Dickson (1967), Bruce Fleisher (1968), Steve
Melnyk (1969), Lanny Wadkins (1970), Vinny Giles (1972), Jerry Pate
(1974), Fred Ridley (1975), John Fought (1977), John Cook (1978), Mark
O'Meara (1979), Nathaniel Crosby (1981), Jay Sigel (1982, 1983), Scott
Verplank (1984), Sam Randolph (1985), Buddy Alexander (1986), Billy
Mayfair (1987), Phil Mickelson (1990), Mitch Voges (1991), John Harris
(1993), Matt Kuchar (1997), Hank Kuehne (1998), David Gossett (1999),
Jeff Quinney (2000), Ben "Bubba" Dickerson (2001), Ricky Barnes (2002)
and Nick Flanagan (2003).

Tournament organizers expect to raise $5 million to establish the
Arnold Palmer Education Fund, which will primarily support increased
partnerships for the children at the Cornerstone Schools in Detroit,
and will allow more urban children to receive a quality education at
these exceptional, nationally-known, ISACS-accredited schools.

At Cornerstone's request, proceeds will also go to First Tee of
Michigan, a nationwide program that helps children develop solid life
values through learning to play by the rules and practicing the
discipline of the game of golf; the Children's Scholarship Fund of
Detroit, a scholarship program to allow primary and secondary urban
students to have the opportunity for an excellent education; The ART
of Leadership Foundation, a leadership development program that
trains young people in the art of visionary leadership; and the Warm Up to
Reading program, a literacy program to promote summer reading for
students in Detroit's public schools.

"The 1954 U.S. Amateur was a turning point in my life, and I am
thrilled that so many other U.S. Amateur champions have agreed to
join me in this endeavor to create a turning point in the lives of these
children," Palmer said. For further information regarding the Arnold Palmer
Turning Point Invitational, please visit the website at
http://www.turningpointinvitational.org, or call 313-892-1860,
ext. 261.

***Tickets are still available for the dinner and the tournament. For
those that are froze out of the Ryder Cup, this is the next best
thing to it.
