Hey all,

I am looking for some help.  I am planning our annual golf trip to Michigan and I am attempting to find some good courses in the Port Huron and Lapeer areas.  Generally our trip consist of golfing primarily at Fore Lakes Golf Club.  However in the past we have played Rattlerun and Blackwater.  I am thinking of play at Copper Ridge and Sugarbush this year.  If anyone could pass on their thought on CR and SB it would be great.  Also if you could suggest some other good courses in the area, I would be grateful.

I live near Copper Ridge.   Not a bad course but not my  favorite either.   The back nine winds thru a condo community.   The course is usually in good shape.

Sugarbush is long and tight .  Bring your straight game.

I love Fore Lakes, it is very nice,   The layout reminds me of the courses up north.   We usually get over there a couple times a year.

If you are coming this way, continue to Grand Blanc and play the Jewel of Grand Blanc (play the Diamond course [north]).  It is fair but challenging, in great condition and enjoyable.

I also recommend IMA Brookwood in Burton.

All of these are near the I-69 expressway.

From the land of perpetual cloudiness.   I'm Denny

Which of the two courses do you feel is better?  Just judging by the pictures, Brookwood looks really nice. Also when I checked the Grand Blanc website there was no mention of a second course.

The Diamond course (north) at the Jewel of Grand Blanc is my favorite.  But I'm partial to Brookwood because that's where I took up the game.   Both courses are nice.    The price at each is very reasonable and usually getting a tee time isn't a problem.

Play them both.   They are only 8 miles apart.

      Day 12: Same as last couple days, but focus was on recentering aspect of flow. When I recenter earlier I make decent contact most swings but if I recenter late or not at all it’s a roll of the dice.

      A Novice Journey to Building a Bag. (Help Appreciated)

      By pganapathy ·

      A couple of things.  Some of the clubs in your bag should be dropped immediately.  A 2-iron for example with what obviously seems to be a lower swing speed or possibly not great swing yet is a definite no-no.  To be hitting that 120-140 yards, which I assume includes run, is a sign that you are not getting the ball airborne at the correct angle to maximise distance.  The reason your 3 and 5 hybrid are going the same distance is that your launch angle is better with the 5.  Loft is your friend. Ideally I would suggest going to a golf or sporting store where you can hit golf balls on a simulator without being disturbed to understand your club carry distances and hopefully swing speed.  With that information we can definitely guide you better.

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By pganapathy ·

      Let us be clear, unless you have proof of cheating, you just sound like a case of sour grapes.  In our club we have a guy who won club titles for many years.  Yes, he was a low single digit handicapper, but there have been quite a few others who played at his level.  Yet his mental strength and experience helped him win in many years when he shouldn't have.  Did he sandbag.  DEFINITELY NOT.  Did he just minimize his mistakes and pull out shots as and when needed.  Definitely.
