===========================================MGN ON THE ROAD - GAYLORD GOLF MECCA===========================================This past week, members of the Michigan Golfer team and writers from Scotland, Canada and fivestates, were guests of the Gaylord Area CVB. Gaylord normally offers such a fam trip each year andthis one had a nice turnout, due primarily to the efforts of Kevin Frisch of Fushion Media Strategies.

The Loon and The Lakes CoursesAfter settling in at The Loon's new lodging complex on Sunday, we had the opportunity to play TheLoon on Monday morning. The Loon, a Mike Husby design, drew favorable reviews from the writers.The course was in great shape as substantial rains in late August had created some lush fairways androughs. The August rains brought relief to the courses which underwent the driest summer in Gaylordhistory. The 14th hole of The Loon had a redesign, under the supervision of Butch Harmon. Thecourse, because of that action, has been newly branded as a Butch Harmon Signature course.

Harmon and his student, Natalie Gubis, an LPGA professional, are in their second season of golfschools at The Loon. The 2nd Annual Butch Harmon Showcase was held from July 29 - July 31st thisyear, and the Natalie Gulbis Showcase is scheduled for September 29th - October 1st. The schools havebeen well attended and have offered some serious star fire power to The Loon facilities.http://www.loongolfresort.com

The afternoon was spent on The Loon's other acquisition, The Lakes Golf Course. The Lakes, a 1988Jerry Matthews design, has bounced around for years under different management. It has been pairedwith Michaywe, then the Otsego Club, was later purchased in 2007 and renamed and operated asMountain Lakes Golf Club and then sold to The Loon. The Lakes plays to 6418 yards from the tipsand has a number of memorable holes including the 13th, where golfers need to launch their drive overthe lake and onto a peninsula to complete the hole.

The Loon has built some new lodging for its players and now can sleep 134 golfers on site. The housingoccupies the land that the former cart barn occupied. Each of the units can accommodate up to twofoursomes, one upstairs and another downstairs. They have a small veranda that looks out over thecourse, is modestly equipped, has Direct TV, limited Wi Fi and a clubhouse that provides a terrificmenu.

Treetops - Threetops and Rick Smith SignatureOn Tuesday morning, the group started off by joining the management of Treetops, Barry Owen, GM,Kevin McKinley, Director of Golf and Skiing and Mike Ray, one of the professionals for a round of golfat renowned Threetops. Threetops, truly one of Michigan's golf course treasures, delighted the groupwith its uniqueness and provided a nice base for the second course of the day, Rick Smith's Signature.Smith also designed the Tradition Golf Course at Treetops, with the Jones Masterpiece and Fazio'sPremier course rounding out the 81 hole inventory.

Many of the golf writers had either played Treetops in the past or were familiar with the course havingseen the resort on The Big Break or the Par 3 Shootout series. Also, when Travel Michigan wanted toshowcase golf in their Pure Michigan commercials, they came to Treetops for their commercial taping.http://treetops.com

The Otsego Club - The Tribute and Black ForestThe Gaylord Herald headline that greeted the writers when they arrived in town "Wanted: Buyer ofOtsego Club" certainly provided an opportunity to discuss the club's situation. They were scheduled toplay three of the four courses and two of the resorts that were on the auction block.

However, new Osprey President, Mike Collins, indicated that the organization wants to direct its fullattention to its core business, which is renting commercial space in a variety of buildings, locatedprimarily in Florida and Michigan.

Former CEO, Mike Biber, now retired from the company, created the Osprey Recreational group.Under Biber's leadership Osprey had acquired Ridgeview GC http://ridgeviewgolf.com/ and then addedin relatively brisk fashion, Manistee National, The Medalist, Black Forest at Wilderness Valley andthen, bought the Ostego Club from Keith Gornick at an auction.

In each case, the company put its resources in to making these properties and courses first class.

Biber, whose father was the head professional at the Kalamazoo Country Club for a number of years,continued his love affair with golf, by taking many of his staff members to recent Ryder Cups. He alsoset up some scholarships that awarded young golfers the opportunity to attend. Biber and OspreyRecreation was also responsible for providing a new home for Michigan's Golf Hall of Fame in theirTroy Office Center http://www.michigan-golf-foundation.com/michigan-golf-hall-of-fame-about.html

They also got involved in the ski industry big time. The club hosted a number of Olympian hopefulsprior to the Vancouver Winter Olympics. In fact, Torah Bright, from Australia, trained there and wonthe gold in Vancouver. The half pipe they created at Otsegohttp://michigangolfer.tv/miskier/season_9/otsego_olympians/ was world class and generated stories inboth the Wall Street Journal and New York Times.

The writer group was housed in the Hilltop Center, an amazing corporate building with greatamenities.

The courses were all in great shape and the writers were particularly struck by the excellence of both theBlack Forest and the Tribute http://michigangolfer.tv/2007shows/tribute/ courses.

As the golf writers, tv reporters, radio personalities and others headed home, they were all impressed by

what they saw, the courses they played and the hospitality of the Gaylord Community. Hey, if ArnoldPalmer http://michigangolfer.tv/2002shows/show21/ loves Gaylord why not others?

================================================================================U-M COACH WHITTEN REMAINS OPTIMISTIC DESPITE LOSING GARBER: -By Terry Moore================================================================================As described by Chris Whitten, University of Michigan’s head golf coach, “It’s not uncommon forcollege golfers to transfer to another school but it’s uncommon for it to happen at Michigan.” StillWhitten remained upbeat and optimistic about his team’s future in spite of losing rising star Joey Garberto the University of Georgia. “We’ll have a very good team and our goals remain the same: to win theBig Ten Championship and perform well in the post-season.” Named the head coach in June afterserving as an assistant to Andrew Sapp who left to coach at his alma mater North Carolina, Whittenhad good things to say about Garber, the 2010 Michigan Amateur champion and the runner-up thisyear: “Joey was open and honest with us about his evaluation process and I am very supportive of him.Obviously, I was hoping he would return to Michigan but I wish him the best.”

Reached by phone this week, Garber said it was a difficult decision to leave Michigan. “This was atough decision about my future,” said Garber, a Petoskey native. “Going to Georgia allows me to playyear round and not have such a long break from the game as you do in Michigan.” Garber said henoticed his spring scoring average was two or three shots higher than in the fall. The composition ofGeorgia’s team was also a factor in his decision. Runner-up to Augusta State in the NCAAChampionship, Georgia graduated three All-America golfers this year and it’ll be the first time in manyyears where no All-America golfer is returning in the fall. “I’ve known some of the guys on the teamfrom my junior golf days and it’s just a good fit for me.” Garber also admitted the appeal of playingAugusta National Golf Club as a team member was also a factor. “Georgia plays some wonderfulcourses throughout the season.”

But the overriding factor for Garber’s surprising transfer was his desire to take his game to the higheststage: the PGA Tour. “When you look at the PGA Tour there are only two or three players like SteveStricker and Jerry Kelly who live in the Midwest,” said Garber. “Most of the Tour players live in theSunbelt and play year round. Also, Georgia and Coach Chris Haack have a successful track record forproducing Tour players.”

One irony in the timing of Garber’s departure is that Michigan will open in October a state-of-the-artindoor golf center, a 10,000 square foot facility with open hitting bays and an expansive indoorchipping and putting green. “The facility has already made a difference in our recruiting,” says Whitten.“In my opinion, there are a number of factors that go into a player’s improvement in the course of theyear. It’s not just all out on the course; there are strength and conditioning factors as well as the mentalside of the game.” Whitten added: “There’s often a stigma that at northern colleges a player’s game willworsen from fall to spring. That’s not always the case.”

Whitten says the Wolverines play 10 events per year, evenly divided between the fall and spring. Teammembers are committed to 20 hours per week of golf or practice with one day off as required by theNCAA. “It’s like a part-time job,” says Whitten. The coach is excited about the Wolverines’ prospectsthis coming season with the return of such stalwarts as senior Matt Thompson and junior Jack Schultz.He’s also keen on two highly touted incoming freshmen, Florida’s Andrew Wong and Korea’s NooriHyun.

What’s the upshot to this story? Well, Michigan obviously took a hit with Garber’s departure but it stillremains a strong program at an attractive institution with even better indoor facilities now. For Garber,he’s relentlessly following his dream to make it on the PGA Tour. To him, that road is routed throughAthens, Georgia. Hard to quarrel with that.

Yet I’m reminded of the example set by PGA Champion Keegan Bradley that the path to the Tour andsuccess is often governed less by geography and more by a well-grounded mindset and a hungry heart.Like Garber, Bradley grew up in the north (Vermont) and skied in the long winters. He played hiscollege golf at St. John’s University in New York, not your hotbed college golf destination, while notforegoing his New England roots. That path to fame and fortune turned out quite well.

================================WHAT A FINISH! - By Brad Shelton================================Johns Creek, GA – This is third time AAC has hosted the quest for the Wanamaker Trophy and thecourse’s fourth major title. In 1976, the U.S. Open was played here and Jerry Pate won the event inexciting fashion stuffing a 194-yard 5-iron from the rough to within 3 feet on the last hole to clinchvictory. The PGA Championship first visited Johns Creek in 1981 where Larry Nelson, a Georgiaresident, won his first of three major championships. One of only three players to finish under par thatyear, Nelson won by 4 strokes to the pleasure of Georgia golf fans. Twenty years later, David Toms acedthe 243-yard par 3 15th to record the longest hole-in-one in a PGA Championship to grab the thirdround lead. A memorable par saving putt on the 72nd hole was just enough to hold off Phil Mickelsonfor Toms’ first major title.

The course itself, more specifically the four finishing holes, provided the players with a closing test astough as any on tour. Starting at 15, the players had to navigate a 260-yard par 3 with water guardingthe right side. Number 16 is a 476-yard par 4 that appears benign until you consider it is uphill with ablind second shot. The signature hole is the 207-yard par 3 17th. Club selection is a premium on thishole as there is no place to bail. Any mishit is wet. Finally, the 507-yard par 4 18th – one of the mostexciting finishing holes in all of golf.

Rob Moss from Pepper Pike Golf Club in Ohio, a club professional playing in his third PGAChampionship, said, “The last four holes this week are probably the most difficult closing holes in all ofgolf. They are very hard golf holes!”

Even the touring professionals were impressed. Stewart Cink simply summed up the last four holes as“brutal.”

As for the field, 100 of the top 102 players in the world were competing at AAC along with the 20 bestclub professionals from around the Nation – and all these guys are good!

Golf fans watching this week’s PGA Championship at Atlanta Athletic Club (AAC) expected nothingless than a fantastic finish at golf’s final major of 2011. The history, course, and field were all aligned tomake for an exciting conclusion – and that is exactly what we got. Here are the facts.

In all four previous majors held at AAC, we have always had a first-time major winner. KeeganBradley’s victory this week makes that five in a row for the AAC.

The final four holes were indeed the toughest finish even though the tournament committee shortened afew of the finishing holes. Number 18 played 1.44 strokes over par!

We had a three-hole playoff that should have never happened. I think we all thought once KeeganBradley made the 6 on 15 that it was all but assured that Jason Dufner would stroll in with acomfortable win. But the final three holes for Dufner were a nightmare and for Bradley, with twobirdies on 16 and 17, much more like a dream.

The only thing that might have been missing was a lack of tour-proven veterans in the final mix to addto the excitement. But throughout the week all the familiar names were making headlines. Tiger starts4-under on day one only to finish the round 7-over ending a long streak of cuts made in a major. SteveStricker looked like a shoe-in for most of the week until his falter on the last day.

At the end of the day, it could any or all of these factors that make for a fantastic finish. Fortunately forus it was all. The 2011 PGA Championship lived up to the hype and expectation we have come toexpect at “Glory’s Last Shot.” Will Kiawah provide the same next year – I sure hope so!

================================================================EAGLE EYE-HAWK HOLLOW TO HOST MICHIGAN PGA CHAMPIONSHIP================================================================162 Michigan PGA Professionals will tee it up at the Hawk Hollow Properties in East Lansing August29th through the 31st for the Michigan PGA Professional Championship.

=============================================================================ZYLSTRA AND HARRIS WIN FOUR-BALL AT FLINT GOLF CLUB -By Susan Smiley of GAM=============================================================================FLINT – After winning the 5th GAM Senior Four-Ball with golf partner David Harris (Oxford) at FlintGolf Club Tuesday, Bill Zylstra (Dearborn Heights) has now won three Senior Four-Ball events withthree different playing partners. He won two years ago with John Jakubiak and three years ago withPete Allen.

“They are all good friends of mine and we always have a good time when we play,” said Zylstra.“These types of events aren’t as serious so we go out with the idea of having a good time and whateverhappens happens.”

The duo shot 67-67—134 at the classic Flint Golf Club.

“The course has stayed the test of time,” said Zylstra. “For our age group it is just about right. David

Page 13: Michigan Golfer News, August 26, 2011
Page 14: Michigan Golfer News, August 26, 2011

played very well both days and we both were challenged while enjoying our round.”

Harris and Zylstra don’t play together often in the summer, but are neighbors in Florida and play aboutonce a week during the winter months. They thought they would bring their Florida game up north andsee how they fared at the Four Ball.

“We’ve known each other about 35 years so we just hooked up and had a good time,” said Zylstra.“When you get this age, it’s a little less intense.”

Zylstra has won nine senior events in the past three years in Michigan.

Full results are posted on the GAM web site at http://www.gam.org.

====================MINZEY'S MUSINGS====================A sweet grandmother telephones St. Joseph 's Hospital, and timidly asks,

"Is it possible to speak to someone who can tell me how a patient is doing?"

The operator said, "I'll be glad to help, dear. What's the name and room number of the patient?"

The grandmother in her weak, tremulous voice said, "Norma Findlay, Room 302."

The operator replied, "Let me put you on hold while I check with the nurse's station for that room."

After a few minutes, the operator returned to the phone and said,

"I have good news. Her nurse just told me that Norma is doing well. Her blood pressure is fine; herblood work just came back normal and her Physician, Dr. Cohen, has scheduled her to be dischargedtomorrow."

The grandmother said, "Thank you. That's wonderful. I was so worried. God bless you for the goodnews."

The operator replied, "You're more than welcome. Is Norma your daughter?"

The grandmother said, "No, I'm Norma Findlay in Room 302. No one ever tells me a damn thing."
