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.

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....

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

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!

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.

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

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 was there just for sunday, and it went smoothly. Thanks @Hardspoon for helping in setting this up. 
    • I say this in believing the guy should just pay you and he's a d**k for not.  Do you guys play by the USGA rules strictly? If so, then the claim is valid. It sucks, but it is. Again, he is a d**k for being that nitpicky over it. If he wants to play the game of waiting for you to finish to have his ah-ha moment, again he's a d**k. Though, if the putter is non-conforming, you maybe able to claim that it is not a club?  Just talk to your group and don't invite him back.     
    • Couple of added points.  It was pink and maybe 18 long.  I am 6 1   And he waited until the round was over to say something when he was in my 4 some in the other cart. 
    • I would have paid you. I think it's a reasonable assumption that the extra putter was not in play.  Having said that "Did you declare the extra putter out of play?"  This person seems like a bit of a weenie and he is also setting a dangerous precedent. Let's say he wins next month. Then when it's your turn to pay up, you could refuse. Telling him "I timed you on hole 8 and you searched for your ball and found it at 3 minutes and 1 second. So, you should have taken stroke, plus distance and didn't." You could then show him your stopwatch feature on your phone where you timed it out to 3:01 and say "See."  I actually would just let it go and assume the guy is a weenie. Because doing stuff like that takes the fun out of friendly bets. If he can't afford to pay up, he shouldn't bet.
