Any of you Michigan golfers ever played Forest Dunes or The Loop?  I've heard good things. And recently found out that one my best friends is very close with the owner there. So been thinking of taking a golf trip up there. 

I haven't personally but there is a link here somewhere about the course.

I played Forest Dunes about 3 years after it opened.  Very nice course but at $154 then I thought it was over priced.  Before I go back there I would play both the Dream and Nightmare in West Branch.  I see the rates are more reasonable now.  @dmay_golf, if you can get a good deal then it would be worth playing there.

 

@JonMA1 @dennyjones, any course you two would like to play is fine by me, and Tuesday that week is good for me also.

 @tlazzol, @dennyjones,  what do you guys thinks about this course? I'm going to tentatively plan on playing Tuesday, September 5th sometime in the morning. It doesn't have to be this course.

Anyone is welcome to join me. If interested, just post to this thread. I'm open to suggestions as far as where.

@tlazzol, @dennyjones I made a tee time for 10 a.m. on Tuesday, Sept 5. For now, it's 3 riding 18 holes. It's not a big deal for others to join or if anyone cancels. He said he'e appreciate a call if we cancel. Obviously, anyone else interested in playing will have to call the course.

The Fall rates apply ($25 per person). They have a driving range.

Edit: Kind of important....

In that case, we're in trouble. Ask @tlazzol about my track record on providing good weather.

I live in Mason, south of Lansing.  Retired and don't mind driving up to 3 hours to play.  If I'm able to play next year we can get together.  But looking at your index I don't think we'll be playing the same tees.

Ann Arbor here and looking for new people to play with.

I get out to Eagle Crest in Ypsilanti a few times per year. I will hit you up next time I go.

@criley4way, @Braivo, @dennyjonesI would also be interested in getting together.  I played Eagle Crest last December.  Like to see it in warmer conditions!  Any day but Tuesdays.

@Tlazzol and @Bravio I have a group that plays at 6pm on Thursdays. We are doing Stonebridge and Lake Forest but always open to play on weekend. You are welcome to join us any time. Just give me a few days.

It looks like the weather will break soon.   I think we'll have to wait until the courses dry but I'm game to play.   I'm free almost any day.  @bkuehn1952's home course of Leslie Park in A2  is very nice but I'm game for almost any course within a decent drive from my house.

    • Day 335: range session before a round of golf tomorrow. Seeing where the ball is going. Hitting it solid, and hitting a pull draw. I can play it, but also found a decent feel to lessen it. We’ll see what happens tomorrow. 
    • Day 51 (20 Jun 25) - Friday men’s group shootout….the old adage of “those who live by the sword, will die by the same” was lived out today as a variant  “those who scramble for par will die by the same scrambling”.  Struggled with the green side game today - up and downs were hard to come by despite the course playing well.  Will be focused on this area in coming drill sessions.  
    • Finally the backswing is getting consistency shorter. This is the best its looks in a while.  1. Swing is shorter 2. Arms and clubs don't carry well past when the torso stops turning.  It was feeling like my arms do nothing at all. Like the butt of the club stays pointed at my belly from A1 to A2. Then from A2 to A3, it's just a slight lift and turn to finish the backswing. Then a pause at A3.

    • This was so good. For me, the best little bit was the visualization of the club under Wyndham's feet when asking him which direction he feels pressure and weight shift (around 30 minutes in). Might try out the right leg back drills to help post up on the left leg earlier.
