Any updates?  Sorry I've been quiet so long.  Dog proofing the back yard, which includes making and installing a swing gate across the driveway.  Any of the courses or places mentioned sound fine by me.  Watch out for Lefty76.  He's a young guy with new irons looking to kick his old man's (me) butt.

You let him play from the wrong side of the ball?  (jk)..

July is about over, and interest in another outing? Friday was a good day last time,  what works for people in August/September?

My youngest is in the HS band, so home game Fridays are out for me, and I have to move one up to Marquette so mid August is likely tough for me.

Where do we want to play - somewhere near 96/23? AA? Jackson?

How about…

It's a short trip. Several of you could carpool.

I'm flexible.   I have a few dates blocked out but generally any day will work.

It's just a little too far for me.   Thanks though.   I'd get run out of town with an Amazing "M" on my blue driver anyway.

No you wouldn't. I couldn't care less about Ohio State. I tease @georgep all the time.

C'mon, you played that thing without hassle in MSU's backyard.

I'm taking the first week of September off from work and am thinking of heading downstate for a round of golf. I don't have a course selected yet but will probably choose one with affordable rates.

If anyone else is interested in playing that week, please post in this thread.

I wouldn't do it personally, but if you show up here with that, I don't know you.

I may be available.   (week of Labor Day?)

My wife plans on dragging me to the Rochester Art Fair but I'm not sure which day.

My wood head covers are Michigan too.  I almost always wear a Michigan hat.   what's not to like?

Yes. The first full week (Labor Day week).

I don't have a day picked out. I think Terry has league play on Tuesdays and I'd rather not travel on Labor Day. So... Wednesday, Thursday, Friday?

Bring the wives if they play golf and if that helps get you out there. God knows they've got to have a better game than mine. 

Think it over guys... but really, it's no big deal if I'm out on a course by myself. I just wanted to extend the invitation.

What range for tee time do you want?

I'd prefer an early tee time. How does 10-11am work for everyone interested? If we play a course in Mid-Michigan, it's 2 - 2 1/2 hours of travel for me. If it's downstate, it's 3 - 4. No biggie... I'd just have to get an earlier start.

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.

    • No, they will collect the "Stay & Play" cost at the Virtues on Sunday. I was a little surprised by that, I would collect on Saturday, but I guess the person doing the reservations & bills is located at the Virtues.  I think we can trust that none of us are going to run out on the bill and leave us in a lurch.
    • Thanks for following up. Since you're going to be booking the stay and play packages, does that mean you have to put up the money up front?
    • They're playing 16 games in each match though. Don't need much of an advantage before that number of players significantly loads things in their favor. The other team has to win 8.5 games to beat them. At a 65/35 split, that's a lot and pretty unlikely (about 10% of the time).
    • Why does the second sentence have to be true? If they're used to playing a tough course that's improperly rated, they're going to both have inflated indexes and have higher skills relative to them. If their home course features a variety of different challenges, I don't see why their game wouldn't travel well. And on the flip side, some courses and their members take pride in how hard their course is and how tough it's rated, and that bit of vanity ends up hurting them in these kinds of competitions.
    • I discussed it today but can call back and re-confirm.  I would love to be wrong on that point. Note: That may have been before they changed the hotel due to lack of room at Hampton Inn. Update on Friday Hotel: If I can give a count to EagleSticks they can get us a discount on Friday night at the hotel.  I do not have the $$ but should be much lower than the $249 the hotel quoted me. I do not have my list with me for the Friday hotels but if you want one, please post ASAP and I will get the rate and get them held. Thanks @billchao for catching this.
