Hey Big_M looks like you've played a lot in MI. A coworker of mine just moved from our club in L.A. to Midland CC. You know of it or played there?

Hey Big_M looks like you've played a lot in MI. A coworker of mine just moved from our club in L.A. to Midland CC. You know of it or played there?

No... Midland was just a little outside my typical "willing to travel circle" and it was too close for vacation. I have played a few hockey tournaments up there, but have no idea what the course is like. Tell your buddy to check out Buck's Run though. It is supposed to be one of the best in Mid-Michigan. Pohlcat is good too, but not amazing like some of the Northern MI courses.

[Neil]

Grew Up playing in North East Scotland at Insch Golf club. In that area I have also played Cruden Bay, Royal Aberdeen and Nairn which are all fine courses.

Prior to university I spent 6 months working at Gleneagles hotel and was regulalry able to play all three courses. There are few things finer than a summer evening on The Kings Course.

At University I went to St Andrews and played all the courses there - holed a 5 footer on the 18th at the Old Course for a 79 on my 21st birthday (my greatest golfing moment to date).

In the states I spent a couple of summers working and playing at Piping Rock Club on Long Island NY, was also lucky enough to play Quaker Ridge and Winged Foot. I also caddied for a friend in a US Open qualifier at Bethpage Black (he shot about 90 - that course is tough as hell!)

I now live in Leeds, England and play a number of courses in the area including Temple Newsam, Middleton, South Leeds and Oulton Park. I'm going across to Clecheaton next week to play an Alistair Mackenzie course which should be fun.
