The "Hus" has had managment gigs at Sugar Springs, Michaywe, Marsh Ridge, The Otsego Club, two stops at The Loon, Wild Bluff GC at Bay Mills and now his second stop at Candlestone Inn. His figures are up, but he admits it has been a struggle. Candlestone Inn is in the process of being sold, and if so, Husby will remain on board as GM as well as working on course renovation. Husby, has designed 18-hole courses at Marsh Ridge, The Loon and Wild Bluff, and two nine- hole courses at Indian Lake GC and Newberry CC. http://candlestone.com ---- Grand Haven-Grand Haven Golf Club This past week, Dr. John Rooney, new owner of the Grand Haven Golf Club and Redstone, the developer group, announced the building of 42 single housing units on the the old driving range at Grand Haven Golf Club. Known as The Retreat, the new housing development flies in the face of challenging real estate sales, but all on board feel that this property is special. Grand Haven Golf Club was designed by W. Bruce Matthews and his son, Jerry Matthews in 1965. The course quickly rose in stature, being named as one of the top 50 public courses in the U.S. by Golf Digest. Matthews was on hand to discuss the history of the course and the changes that have occurred since 1965. Dr. Rooney, retired from teaching at Oklahoma State University, is no stranger to Michigan, having participated in the first Michigan Golf Summit. Dr. Rooney loves Michigan in the summer, much as we love Florida in the winter. Michigan affords Rooney and his family, delightful weather and surroundings, while Stillwater wrestles with torrid summer heat. The Grand Opening audience was also shown a seven minute video on "Fallen Heroes", a movement that started this year with Rooneys' son, Dan. Held on September 1, "Fallen Heroes" captured the imagination of the golf world and their wallets for a cool one million dollars. Buoyed by the success it had, the program will continue in 2008, with a new date, Memorial Day Weekend. The movement received some serious exposure inSports Illustrated, Golf Digest, and USA Networks "PGA Tour Sunday." Dan Rooney is a fighter pilot for the United States and has served two missions in Iraq. He was moved when he saw a casket of a "fallen hero" being delivered to Grand Rapids for burial. He felt that something needed to be done to create not only recognition for these soldiers who have paid the ultimate price, but also a scholarship program that would help members of their family. Dr. Rooney indicated that a number of universities have stepped forward with scholarships to honor the idea. We had a real treat as we had the opportunity to share the tee box with Jerry Matthews in a round of golf after the Grand Opening ceremony. The course record was safe after the first hole, but we had a nice time playing. After the round, superintendent Jerome Blahnik met with Matthews and not only told him how they had brought the course back to life, but showed him photos of his work as well. Matthews, who teaches classes in golf course design and maintenance at MSU, sometimes finds himself in these types of mentoring and monitoring situations. Grand Haven is marketing the course as the Pine Valley of the Michigan. The "Pine Valley" look is not quite there, but with Jerome Blahnik on the job, it only remains a matter of time until this happens. http://grandhavengolfclub.com --- Stanwood In my "Travels with Jerry" trip last week, I asked Jerry Matthews to discuss his easiest and hardest golf course design. According to Matthews, the easiest course to design was Timber Ridge and the hardest was St. Ives. "The St. Ives site had so many undulations mixed with lakes and wetlands, I went through many designs before we got it right", Matthews said. Armed with that knowledge, I took another look at St. Ives. From the first hole, where your second shot has a 40 -50 foot drop to the green to the last hole, the course has a roller coaster look and feel to it. Let's face it, Matthews has designed over 100 golf courses and if this course stood out to him, it is notable. http://naturalcoursedesign.com http://stivesgolf.com Tullymore, the first of two Jim Engh's Michigan designs, has matured brilliantly since I visited the course during its grand opening. Engh did design work in Europe and Asia for golf prosBernhard Langer and Isao Aoki. He stuck out his own shingle in 1991 and has never looked back. . His courses are unique and award winning.Tullymore, which opened in 2002 was named the No. 1 New Upscale Public Course in America by Golf Digest. Its fame continues to grow, being named among the Top 100 Greatest Golf Courses in America by Golf Digest. http://stivesgolf.com ============================ MICHIGAN GOLFER TELEVISION ============================ Gaylord Treetops-Pepsi Fall Charity Invitational This year, nearly 400 golfers participated in the 20th anniversary of one of Michigan's largest and most competitive tournaments. You can catch a lot of the action athttp://michigantravel.tv/2007treetops_pepsi/ You can also catch the charity side of the tournament, as host pro, Kevin Mckinley passes out the checks in our video. http://youtube.com/watch?v=KWkNoc-pXhg Stanwood Villages of Tullymore Last week, the Grand Opening for the Villages of Tullymore was held. It is a $15 million home and condo development at the Tullymore Golf Course site. Mecosa L.L.C purchased the Tullymore and St. Ives properties from Canadian Lakes Development Co. earlier in the year for $15 million. The Villages at Tullymore will build out to 340 homes and condos with a 13,000 square-foot clubhouse and a new 13 acre lake. GM Kevin O'Brien is obviously excited about the project and shares his thoughts with us. See him on You Tube http://youtube.com/watch?v=Wd7ZK2huPuY ======================== EMU EAGLES PLAYING WELL ======================= Bruce Cunningham, coach of the EMU Eagles golf team, has had a nice year with his squad.The Eagles competed the last couple of days atthe Brickyard Intercollegiate. There were3 top ten programs and another 2 in the top25. South Carolina, Georgia, and Georgia Techalong with Clemson made for a great tournamentexperience. The Eagles finished T-6th with Furman and were pairedwith #4 South Carolina the last two rounds. Their recordnow stands at 36-16-2 and they will play again the 15th and 16that Georgia Southern. Their latest National Golfstat rankingis #57 out of 269 D-I Programs. Results for the Brickyard Collegiate are at either http://golfstat.com or http://brickyardcollegiate.org ================================= REMEMBERING: W. BRUCE MATTHEWS ================================= West Michigan was not really my beat during our early years with the Michigan Golfer. Our editor, Terry Moore was working that part of the state on the ad and editorial side. However, one day I found myself over that way and thought I would stop by and take a look at Grand Haven Golf Club, a client that had been very good to us. This was the home course of W. Bruce Matthews, a legend in Michigan golf. Not only had he designed a ton of golf courses in Michigan during his lifetime, but he was responsible for getting the Michigan State University Turf Grass School off the ground. When i arrived at Grand Haven, I was fortunate to find Mr. Matthews enjoying the early morning sun by the first tee. He was very cordial and willingly gave me a half hour or so talking about his life in golf. It was my only time to see him, but our meeting was something that I think about every time I meet with his son, Jerry As I rode around with Jerry Matthews last week, talk turned to his father. He said he was playing a couple of holes with his father, who was still hitting some shots in his ninth decade.. At 90, or even years before that, W. Bruce Matthews' sight was faltering. When he and Jerry approached the last hole they were to play that day, he told Jerry that he could not see the green very well. Jerry said, he helped his dad select a club, told him the distance, pointed him in the right direction and then watched his father hole out the shot. If that was not his last shot in golf, let's make it so. We have listed the courses he designed by himself and then those he built with his son, Jerry. Courses Designed by W.

TNT will air exclusive coverage of the unique event from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. ET/PT on Tues., October 16. Coverage continues on Wed., October 17 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. The Grand Slam of Golf on TNT Programming Schedule DAY/DATE TIME Tues., October 16 4 p.m. – 7 p.m. ET/PT Wed., October 17 5 p.m. – 9 p.m. ET/PT ======================= SHOW THEM THE MONEY ====================== Which of the professional and college sports events draws the most affluent attendees? Probably PGA Golf, you would guess. Close, but PGA Golf is nosed out by MLS Soccer, 41% of whose attendees were from households with incomes of $100,000 or more. Just 38% of PGA Golf event attendees were from households in that income bracket. Of course, PGA Golf attendees could brag of an attendance almost three times as great as attendance at MLS Soccer events. Major League Baseball, NBA and NFL were closely matched in drawing attendees with incomes of $100,000 -- with the three drawing 28%-30% of attendees from that income bracket. Professional tennis, college football and college basketball drew 25%-26% of their attendees from the $100,000-plus income bracket. Professional boxing was at the other end of the spectrum, drawing just 9% of their attendees from the $100,000-plus income bracket. For adults 18 years and older, that information is drawn from the NSGA 210-page report _Sports Attendance and TV Viewership -- 2007._ The mail survey, conducted in April 2007, covers 29 professional and college sporting events. In the report, Major League Baseball drew the most attendees, almost 30 million. For the 2006 season MLB reported an attendance of slightly less than 76 million. Given attendance at multiple games as indicated in the report, the 30 million figure seems to accurately reflect persons 18 and older who saw a big league game in 2006. _NSGA Research Newsletter_ highlights information from NSGA research as well as from other sources. Thomas B. Doyle vp/information & research tdoyle@nsga.org ================ A TOUGH AUGUST ================ After rising 4.1% in July, August rounds played fell 2.7%. Severe weather in the Midwest was the primary cause, according to the National Golf Foundation. Year-to-date rounds slipped to 0.8% through August. The reporting is based on data from operators at more than 1,800 golf facilities. For the full year 2006, rounds played were up 0.8%. With the center of the country being hard-hit by Mother Nature, the Lower and Upper Midwest registered the worst August performances regionally. The Lower Midwest fell 8.6%; the Upper Midwest, 4.6%. The Central/South Florida region (up 2.5%) had the best showing in August. Of the 11 regions surveyed, eight showed year-to-date declines. The Southwest region was the strongest, up 2.7%. The Southeast and Northeast regions also showed increases. The sharpest decline was in the South Central region, down 8.3% year-to-date. The Gulf Coast region trailed, down 4.4%. For the eight months, play at value courses (those with peak season weekend green fees with cart below $40), was down 1.0%. At premium public courses (those with peak season weekend green fees with cart above $70) rounds played have risen to 0.4%. At standard courses ($40-70), play was down 0.1%. Overall, rounds played at all public courses fell 0.6% year-to-date. Private courses didn_t do quite as well, with rounds played for the eight months falling 2.0%. At the national level, Golf Playable Hours (GPH) for August declined 4.4% compared to last year, according to Pellucid Corp. as reported in the previous newsletter. According to Golf Datatech, rounds weredown 1.6% in August 2007 compared toAugust 2006 and are down0.5%year to date. The report includes3,225 reporting courses. ========================== MG TELEVISION BACK ONLINE ========================== After a week of having five of our sites being off line, we are now partially back in business. Three of our five sites are now online, but our Internet Service Provider lost eight years of our Michigan Runner Televsion content and 12 years of our Michigan Runner Magazine content. Again, a pardon for the interruption and we hope all of that is behind us. Art McCafferty-Publisher/Producer GLSP-http://glsp.com =================================================================== TOM GILLIS MAKING MAKES A RUN AT MARK CHRISTOPHER CHARITY CLASSIC =================================================================== Good to see Tom Gillis back on the leaderboard, even if it is the Nationwide Tour. Gillis, who was on the PGA Tour two years ago has fallen off the map the since then, playing Gateway Tour, Nationwide Tour and getting as many sponsor exemptions as he can. Gillis, who led after three rounds, finished 8th with a one under par Sunday finish. Michigan's Jason Budha, (see our cover storyhttp://www.michigangolfer.com/show00/j_buha.html in 2000) was one of the on course announcers for the telecast. http://www.pgatour.com/h/leaderboard/ ==================== FALL GOLF PACKAGES ==================== We hope you have seen the great Travel Michigan video now showing on television.

It is now the home of the Irish Open and was recently extended to its 7453 yards. The Maigue River and a 14 acre lake provide the usual water hazards that Robert Trent Jones so loved to create. Web: http://www.adaregolfclub.com/ You Tube Video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=7m5bqfpy1oI 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 has been the pro since 1959 after he took over from his dad, who was there for a couple of decades himself.
