=========== SEPTEMBER =========== The breezes
taste Of apple peel. The air is full Of smells to feel- Ripe fruit,
old footballs, Burning brush, New books, erasers,
Chalk, and such. The bee, his hive, Well-honeyed hum, And Mother
cuts Chrysanthemums. Like plates washed clean With suds, the
days Are polished with A morning haze. September, John

GOLFER TELEVISION-TREETOPS PAR 3 SHOOTOUT AND "LITTLE"
BREAK ======================================================================= Threetops
at Treetops has become a famous golf course in America. Just as people travel
to Pebble Beach, Kohler and Pinehurst, they are now traveling to Gaylord,
Michigan to play this delighful Rick Smith creation. Kevin McKinley, Treetops
Director of Golf, shows us around with the Treetops Amateur Par-3 Shootout,
their clinicclinic, a shot at the "Little Break" and players shooting for a
$10,000 hole in one. Jennie McCafferty is our host. Video: http://michigangolfer.tv/2007shows/par3/ Web: http://treetops.com
======================== KIRCHER
CUP NOW ONLINE ======================== The 33rd Annual Kircher Cup
television show is now online athttp://michigangolfer.tv/2007shows/kircher_cup/ Right
now, we just have the WMV up. Look for the Steve Kircher's victory lap when his
partner Grant Bruce eagled the final hole.
================= MGN ON
THE ROAD ================= Alanson Eagle Beach We stopped by Eagle
Beach twice on our travels this weekend, to visit with Bob Shorter and his nine
hole Eagle Beach GC. We missed Shorter, but saw that he was getting some play
on this Larry Mancour layout.
Boyne Falls Grand Mountain was sparkling on a beautiful summer day. The
resort was getting back in order after a Boyne Mountain Blue Grass Festival the
evening before. We chatted with Casey Powers, Head Golf Professional and Colin
Stackos, Assistant Professional about the concert. They are the ones
responsible for putting on the annual Tournament of Champions. They felt the
turnout was a little disappointing, but that the music was great.
Boyne
started summer music with Kid Rock for the first two years and this year fleshed
out a series, with the Gin Blossoms, The Allman Brothers Band, the Blue Grass
Festival and upcoming comedy specials with Ted Alexandro and Alonzo
Bodden.
The concert series might take a few years to build, but if it
comes anywhere near was Aspen has done, it will be fantastic. We attended the
Aspen Summer Music Festival for years and saw it grow into a monster
event. http;//boyne.com
Detroit-Belle Isle We had the opportunity
to drop by the First Tee of Michigan Golf Center on Belle Isle. David Coy has
been the manager since day one, almost nine years ago. This is the training
course that Rick Smith designed and Tim Finchem, Ken Devine, Freeman Hendrix and
former Detroit Mayor Dennis Archer kicked off in the late 90's.
David Coy
indicated that the recent times have been challenging. The City of Detroit's
financial problems have led to them selling two of their courses, Rackham and
Rogell as well as cutting back on support for Palmer, Chandler, Rouge and the
nine hole Belle Isle course and the First Tee of Michigan Golf
Center.
Coy hopes that the new attention being put on Belle Isle by the
Grand Prix will bring positive focus to their program as well. He feels that
bringing the nine hole course and the training center together, could make it
more of a destination for golfers. However, their immediate goal is to make it
to next year. They desperately need some help.
Harbor Springs Country Club of Boyne The 33rd Kircher Cup was held
this past weekend on the Ross and Hill courses under perfect skies. Legendary
golfer and family friend , Glen Johnson, was the tournament host. Boyne
personnel that were working the tournament included, host golf pro of the Arthur
Hills course, Dave Trudell, Joshua Richter who is the professional at the
Heather course, Mark Novak and Daniel Turcott who had major responsibilities
with the Kircher Cup.
We had the opportunity to talk with Bernie
Friedrich, the mastermind of the massive television advertising buy that Boyne
unleashed this year to its down state market. It is hard to watch any segment
of ESPN without encountering a Boyne commercial. Bernie Friedrich, indicated
that they are also running a full schedule of ads on the food network as
well.
The advertising campaign has driven traffic to the resorts in such
numbers, that Friedrich says they will use the same strategy for skiing this
fall and winter. You can see all of the commercials at http://www.boyne.com/Gallery/Videos/
We video
taped the tournament and will put it online later. Viewers will be able to see
Steve Kircher's victory lap on the 18th green, after playing partner Grant Bruce
drained a 40 foot birdie putt to vault them into third place.. http://boyne.com
Marsh Ridge The folks at Marsh
Ridge Golf Course are feeling the pain of another year that their number of tee
times has decreased. Jack Bott, who turned over the course to his grandson,
visited the course last week. Bott, who lost his wife of many years, last
December, also has a 1200 acre compound in the Gaylord area. Bott, who has
another home in Gross Pointe, spends most of the year at his Key Largo home.
http://marshridge.com
Michaywe Pines Judy Mason
continues her strong leadership at Michaywe. Rounds, this year, are up and
should stay that way with a good fall. This was the only property in the
Gaylord area that was in the plus category. Most of the properties I visited,
were about the same or a little under last year.
As I mentioned last
week, the course is in awesome shape and the resort is seemingly on the right
track after some tough years, a few years back. http://michaywe.com
Mountain
Lake The former Lakes course, is continuing to rally back from having been
closed for a year. This has been a tough go for pro/owner Dan Webster. They
have little in an advertising budget, trying mainly to build rounds with the
locals. The course, a Jerry Matthews design has held up well during its hiatus
and should provide golfers with a quality experience. http://mountainlake.com
Otsego Club Renovation and
renewal continues at the Otsego Club. Guests and members will notice a new and
improved walkway structure. New concrete in areas and repair in others allows
for a smooth evening walk around the resort. New indoor and outdoor furniture
guarantee comfortable seating and new entrances allow for visitors to have a
nice pour from "Liquid Louie", famed barkeep at the Logmark. The rooms are also
in the process of being upgraded, we stayed one night in one that has not had
the redo as yet and our last night in one that had. Big difference. The
remodeled rooms have beds you can get lost in, new bathroom tub and sink and
wiring that works everywhere.
The big news, is the new building that is
rising within the family of Otsego buildings, a new lodging and meeting center.
The new facility is right next to the Blue Spruce and will feature a number of
meeting rooms and some executive suites.
http://otsegoclub.com
The
Natural and Marsh Ridge Ed Ford, manager of The Natural, thinks that a good
fall could put them up over last year in rounds played. The course, like many
in the Gaylord area, was looking terrific due to good maintenance and late
summer rains. Marsh Ridge, the lodging facility for The Natural, has continued
to improve under the renovation of owner, Larry Bowden. Many of the buildings in
the Marsh Ridge complex have been converted into and sold as condos. Web:

Natural Golf Course: http://michigangolfer.tv/2005shows/natural/
Treetops Kevin
McKinley, Director of Golf, and his crew sure keep things light at Treetops.
This past weekend, they held their annual Par-3 Amateur Shootout at the
Signature and Threetops and added a couple of wrinkles. First of all, golfers
had the opportunity for a $10,000 hole in one at the same spot Trevino hit his
in 2001 to win a million dollars. Secondly, they sprinkled in putting, pitching
and punching shots in an event called the "Little Break". The tournament field
was up almost 40% this year. While it should not seem surprising, the fact is,
that golfers from around the U.S. want to take on the most famous par-3 in the
country. We have seen people from Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, New York, Wisconsin
and Tennessee in our latest coverage of a Par-3 event. Video: http://michigangolfer.tv/2007shows/par3/

Wilderness Valley Wilderness
Valley is the home of two courses, the Valley course, designed by one of
Michigan's greatest professionals, Al Watrous and the second, Black Forest, Tom
Doak's second course.
Black Forest, built on a modest budget under the
helm of owner Dave Smith, is getting some attention from new owners, Osprey
Recreation. Osprey is in the process of upgrading the bunkers and making other
cosmetic changes. A number of players on the course had heard that Tom Doak had
visited the course. One golfer had actually hit some balls with Doak when the
course was being built. He said her got a call from his buddy, that there was a
chance to golf the new course. He said, he remembered the day, but had no idea
that Doak had gone on from there to be one of the world's greatest golf
designers.
The Valley course, according to many of the golfers I chatted
with, was in the best shape that it has been in for some time, Corey Crowley is
the Manager and Head Golf Professional.
Mackinaw Island Fred George,
PGA Professional at Wawashkamo, says his membership is way up, but that the
rounds have been down this year. The course looked all of its 100 plus years,
as a drought has left it a little scratchy in spots. http://wawashkamo.com
Mackinaw City The Mackinaw
Club is under new ownership, the former owners, Jim and Mary Carter, lost the
property to the bank. The course was not open last year. The Carter's had
worked with designer in building golf courses in the late 80's and 90's, and
decided to build their own. They asked Matthews if he would help with the
course, after they had done most of the routing. Matthews helped out his
friends, but was a little reluctant to out his name on it, for the minimal role
he had.
When it first opened, it seemed like a natural for the area and that it
would succeed. However, that was not the case. Hopefully, the new owner will
have the vision and the resources to make it
happen.
=================== COLLEGIATE
UPDATE =================== Congrats to Sara Brown of MSU who was named as
one of the Top 50 Female Players to Watch by Golf World in its August 31st
issue. The MSU women's team was also ranked 19th in the Top 25 Poll. Grand
Valley State University's women's team was ranked 7th in the Division II's
Coaches Poll. Congrats to
all.
================================= MICHIGAN PLAYERS AT USGA
EVENTS …by Terry Moore ================================= Hats off
to the Michigan players who played well this past week in two USGA national
tournaments. At the USGA Senior Amateur held at Flint Hills National GC in
Andover, Kan, Billy Zylstra, Greg Reynolds and Bill McDonald all advanced to
match play following 36-hole medal play last weekend. Zylstra, the low local
qualifier from Westland, fired a 65 in his first round and led the field. He
followed up with a 73 to finish second to medalist Steve Bogan (137). Zylstra
won his first two matches but fell 3 & 1 to acclaimed amateur Vinny Giles.
Reynolds, the 2002 USGA Senior champion, also won two matches while McDonald won
his first match.
At the USGA Senior Women’s Amateur at Sunriver Resort,
Oregon, Ada’s Joan Garety made it to match play (157) and won her first match.
Farmington Hills’ Maria Malone did not qualify for match play following the
36-hole medal
play. ====================================================== "IT'S
NOT EASY BEING GREEN"...TRUE, BUT MICHIGAN GOLF COURSES ARE
TRYING ====================================================== Michigan
golfers have an opportunity that no other state can match. In addition to
magnificent courses with terrific playing conditions and spectacular views,
Michigan has hundreds of golf courses that excel in environmental management and
recognize that being in compliance with environmental laws is critical to the
future of the game. These courses are serious about protecting and enhancing
natural resources and actively demonstrate this by voluntarily participating in
the Michigan Turfgrass Environmental Stewardship Program (MTESP).
Golfers who are passionate about the environment or simply interested in
supporting stewardship efforts can easily find one of these "green" golf courses
by going to the Michigan Turfgrass Environmental Stewardship Program site and
clicking on "members". The site lists all the courses involved in the program
and further identifies those who have achieved certification status. Michigan
Turfgrass Environmental Stewardship Program certified courses are known for
going the extra mile to be proactive and it's not uncommon to find additional
habitat in the form of vegetative buffers along waterways and no mow areas on
the property.
These tall grass areas are often designed to attract birds,
butterflies, small mammals and reptiles which add another dimension to any
golfing experience.
So, the next time you're thinking about getting in a
round of golf, or booking an outing or conference, consider a MTESP certified
course. You will know that you're supporting a business that is doing the right
thing for the environment and your community. Taken from the Michigan Travel
eNewsletter and the gcsaa

============================================= 17TH
ANNUAL FIGHT AGAINST CANCER
FUNDRAISER =============================================== There are
still a few openings left in the 17th Annual Fight Against Cancer Fundraiser.
The Event is September 10th, 2007. Like other things in golf, charitable
golf outings have been struggling as well. Darin Philport, event chairman would
love to hear from anyone out there that is looking for a great golf experience
for a worthy cause.
We did a show on the tournament in 2002. At that
time, Darin Philport discussed the tournament and W. Bruce Matthews, course
architect, chatted about some of the holes at Hidden River Golf and Casting
Club, and the descisions that went into making them. Jennie McCafferty is our
host.

===================================================================== KENDALL
AND TONTAPANISH TOP 50 INSTRUCTORS BY GOLF RANGE
MAGAZINE ===================================================================== Dave
Kendall and Tom Tontapanish, of Miles of Golf, were named to as “Top 50 Golf
Instructors in America” in a poll of teaching professionals selected by Golf
Range Magazine. Though Kendall and Tontapanish are no strangers to awards for
golf instruction, the designation from Golf Range Magazine represents something
different. “Our teaching group is selected much differently,” said Steve di
Costanzo, president of Golf Range Magazine. “We focus on instructors who work
either year-round or seasonally at golf ranges, learning centers, golf domes or
academies at golf complexes with a short course.”
The award caps a banner
2007 season for Kendall, who is the
current Michigan Senior PGA and Michigan Senior Open champion. “This is a
highly-regarded honor coming from a noted industry publication,” said Kendall.
“I’m also delighted that the recognition is being given as well to Tom, who
represents everything good about our staff of PGA and LPGA professionals here.”

Lahinch
Golf Club with Jennie McCafferty and Bob McCavery Lahinch Golf Links almost
has it all. They have the history, built in 1892, designer blood lines in Old
Tom Morris and Alister MacKenzie, a storied hole in No. 5 and a location on the
Atlantic Ocean. What they don't have, according to professional Bob McCavery, is
the infrastructure to support a major tournament. It is not near a major city,
they have narrow roads and there are few hotels. Our video gives you a nice
look at the town, course and a recounting of the history by Bob McCavery, who

============================================ SWEETGRASS
GOLF CLUB TO OPEN SUMMER
2008 ============================================ The Island Resort
& Casino recently announced the construction phase of Sweetgrass Golf Club
is nearing completion. The 18-hole championship course will be the newest
amenity at the Vegas-style gaming destination in Michigan’s Upper
Peninsula.
Grow-in has commenced on virtually all the holes, while a
couple holes are already grown-in. Sweetgrass is projected to open for play in
July 2008.
The name Sweetgrass refers to an aromatic herb, a sacred
plant, used in Indian peace and healing rituals, and is found along the
course.
Golf-course architect Paul Albanese has worked previously on such
notable projects as Timberstone in Iron Mountain, Mich., Mill Creek in
Rochester, N.Y., Holiday Valley Resort in Ellicottville, N.Y., Moose Ridge in
South Lyon, Mich., Quail Ridge in Ada, Mich., and Traditions Golf Club in
Edmond, Okla.
Albanese is frequently on-site with the construction crews
led by industry veteran Dan Grassi fine-tuning a course that unfolds across
gentle undulations, meadows and forested areas.
The course will play from
approximately 7,300 to 5,000 yards and
will feature multiple teeing areas to accommodate every player’s unique skill
level.
Additionally, the design includes: • an island
green on the par-3 15th
• a Biarritz green on the par-3 12th • holes named
for and paying homage to Indian legend • fescue framing the wide
fairways • sand bunkers and water hazards which strategically
defend the course • historic bridges “rescued” from around the
region which lend the course a unique feel • prevailing winds
which add additional drama to the memorable design and round of golf •
two waterfalls (between the 9th and 18th holes •
beautifully crafted rockwork and cedar posts throughout the course “We were
given a beautiful piece of land by the Hannahville Indian Community on which to
create Sweetgrass Golf Club,” says Architect Paul Albanese. “We expect
Sweetgrass to instantly become the best course in the Upper Peninsula and one of
the best new courses in North America upon opening.”
The Hannahville
Indian Community is a band of the Potawatomi Nation. Albanese drew inspiration
from the tribe’s heritage and incorporated it into the design of Sweetgrass.
From bunkers named after tribal elders to areas reminiscent of long-forgotten
fortress ruins, Sweetgrass offers legend and inspiration on every
hole.
Known as the Keepers of the Fire, the Hannahville Band of the
Potawatomi Nation also will honor legend by featuring a continuous flame next to
the 10th tee box.
The island green – which jibed with the resort’s name
and fit within the parameters of the land’s dictated design – also meshes with
Potawatomi legend, which holds the turtle and its wisdom in high esteem. The
challenging par-3 island green is surrounded by a bed of rock
outcroppings.
“Paul did an excellent job of keeping the proud tradition
and legend of the Potawatomi Tribe in mind while crafting this course,” says
Kenneth Meshigaud, Chairman of the Hannahville Indian Community Tribal Council.
“This design is a tribute to the people of this community and those who have
come before us.”
In the course design, Albanese – a member of the American Society of Golf
Course Architects and Director of Golf Course Architecture at the Edinburgh
College of Art in Scotland – also
incorporated five steel bridges retired by nearby county departments of
transportation. Originally in service in 1915, the longest and most visible
bridge spans 105 feet and takes golfers to the island green. CONTACT: Dan

============== CADDIE
ORIGIN ============== When Mary, later Queen of Scots, went to France as
a young girl (for education & survival), Louis, King of France, learned that
she loved the Scot game "golf." So he had the first golf course outside of
Scotland built for her enjoyment. To make sure she was properly chaperoned (and
guarded) while she played, Louis hired cadets from a military school to
accompany her. Mary liked this a lot. and when she returned to Scotland (not a
very good idea in the long run), she took the practice with her. In French, the
word cadet is pronounced 'ca- day' and the Scots changed it
