Birmingham-Bill Shelton
We caught up with our host of the Michigan Golfer Television Show, Bill Shelton, as he was in town for a wedding. As you may recall, Bill, President Emeritius of Eastern Michigan Universtiy, left Michigan for an advisory position serving the Chancellor of East Carolina University, Dr.Muse. Two months after he arrived, Bill became the Chancellor of the university and served in that position for almost a year until a new Chancellor was selected. Bill also took a new bride and purchased a new home on a golf course of course. Look for Bill this week as he introduces our show with Michael Patrick Shiels and Bill Paxon and the first of the year, when he shares his thoughts on Carolina golf.

Ypsilanti-Eagle Crest Golf Club
Eagle Crest Golf Club has one of the most picturesque golf driving ranges in the state. It is just a delight to hammer a shot and watch it drop down against the background of Ford Lake. For those in the U.P. the range is much like the one you will find at Wild Bluff.

MICHIGAN GOLFER TELEVISION
Michael Patrick Shiels, one of Michigan's greatest golf writers, has an enchanting interview with Director Bill Paxton, who not only discusses his movie, ³The Greatest Game Ever Played² but his growing up at Shady Oak CC which Ben Hogan called home. This is a terrific show about a great movie. It is well worth your time.
