It's not going to rain.  I just bought a new Under Armour Gore-Tex rain suit.  But just to be sure I'm not going to wash my car on the 18th.

You know, if we keep talking about the weather Mother Nature is going to curse us.      Now according to Accuweather, 81º and mostly cloudy.

Excellent! Perfect insurance against foul weather!  I will bring my rain suit, too.  And my rain gloves and hat.;-)

The Weather Channel is saying 50% chance of rain!  I told everyone to quit talking about the weather, Mother Nature is vengeful.  

Accuweather is saying 70º and mostly cloudy.

Bring snow gear now....

Wait 5 minutes and the weather forecast will change.   Looking good for next Friday!

According to their website, you can walk.   They have different rates for walking and cart use.

For those who are planning to arrive early and warm up.  The range is at the front entrance but no car parking is allowed there.  You have to either walk down there or take a cart.  It also has a putting/chipping green with a sand trap by the range.  A larger putting green is by the first tee.  I'll be there about 8:30am.  Takes a long time for me to loosen up enough to take half swings!

Looks great. Do we have to ride or can I use a pull cart?

You can walk or ride, when I was there it looked like they had rental push carts. So I presume they'd let you use one.

I plan on a cart, I will walk some between shots (especially if there are some bad ones).

Here is my summary of walking "issues" - There are a few short hikes to go from green to the next tee -#7 to #8 is a short walk, getting to  #10 is a hike, #10 to #11 is going under the bridge, but not that long, another short hike to go to #12, and then going back under the bridge from #17 to #18.
A couple of hills to deal with on #8, #9, #10 .... all-in-all if you are a walker this course is not strenuous.

Can't get the day off from work so I'll have to skip the outing.  Hope you all have a great day out there.

Hopefully, this will be the first of many Michigan outings. We'll catch you on the next one.

Accuweather is reporting mostly sunny and a high of 67º.    It is a lie...we don't have sun in Michigan but I'll take the 67º.

Damn

I know...no more weather but...dress in layers.   After being in the high 80s the last couple days at tee time tomorrow it is going to be about 48º!

Okay guys, the big day is tomorrow.  We have two tee times reserved; the first is at 10:04am and the second at 10:12am.

I will hang out in the clubhouse and will probably make a little TST sign.  It will likely be pretty obvious who is in our group but we will need to be on the look out for each other.  Reservations are under "Brian Kuehn".

We will pay using a combination of @tlazzol's Groupon deal and "Senior" rates.  At least one of us may be walking.  We can work out the groups once everyone is there.

I am excited to meet everyone.  See you all tomorrow morning.

I'm looking forward to it as well. I have the course plugged into the gps and am in the process of getting all my stuff ready.

It'll be easy to spot me, I'll be the short ugly guy wearing a green adidas cap and green jacket. Denny and I have exchanged phone numbers as well.

I plan on riding but will bring my push cart in case one of the groups consists of walkers.

    • I’ll have to pay attention more attention to the area when I’m there. I know the area to the left of the bunkers off the tee is fescue/native vegetation but I can’t remember what’s around the tee boxes. Something to consider still is that you can’t see the green from the tee. You can’t even see all three bunkers IIRC. So I could have a line on the drive but still not know where it ends up. I think I’d be a lot more comfortable going with driver if I played here more regularly and had a log in my head of where shots tend to end up like I do at the other county courses. I have never hit driver on this hole off the blue tees. I have done it from the gold, but the length and angle are different, and during casual rounds when I didn’t care that much about score. I’m not sure the best time to try it is the second hole of a tournament. Or at the very least, I’m uncomfortable with the idea and that’s probably enough reason not to do it. I see what you’re saying. Wind is supposed to be pushing out more to the right on Saturday, too. I could probably aim right at the bunker and not end up in it. I don’t think there’s anything near the green other than that tiny bunker that would give me trouble. Well, trouble in addition to my short game deficiencies that is. Yea, me too. All I’m thinking is get it in play, put it near the green, chip on and two putt for 5. I’ll have plenty of opportunities to use my length as an advantage later. You realize all of this theory crafting will be moot when I chunk it off the tee, right? 😆

    • However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.
    • I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.
