After my historic game the consensus among friends was anonymous that I should go to the driving range and work on my swing with a Pro! I had already realized that I needed to work on my fitness to be able to walk at least 3 hours at a stretch without…

There has been a long gap as we went on a trip to Jordan. It was wonderful and I am tempted to write about it. May be later! Meanwhile there was this fun letter from Nephew Shrikanth: “Hi nidhi uncle. I’m happy for you that you’ve found your …

A few tips to help you look “cool” on the golf course…• Lose the cord that connects your head covers.• Ditch the persimmon you’re hiding underneath them.• Give your caddie a nickname. “Hand me a six-iron, Billy,” sounds stupid.• Mak…

April 5th, 2006 — , golf courses from A Golfing Michigander @ A Golfing Michigander
Managed to make it out for some golf for the first time in 2006. It’s been a long wait since early November when I was last able to play. Nice to be out there in spite of the fact that the courses are a little muddy and just plain blah after the long winter. Fall is a much nicer time to play in the off season.
Went to Hilltop Golf Course both last week and this for some 9-hole practice. The course is not busy at all which makes it conducive for hitting 2-3 balls on each hole. The course has really greened up in just 7 days. Gets me looking at my lawn too - have to mow the darn thing before you know it.
I hear that the former owners of the course (American Golf Corporation) have parted ways and it is now run by Plymouth Twp. again. The guy in the pro shop said that AGC has not taken very good care of the course in the last couple of years and they are intending on returning the course to its former glory. That will be nice because this is kind of a sleeper golf course. The greens here are almost unfairly fast and devilishly contoured. What you think might be a 6" break turns out to be more like 6 feet. Everyone complains about the greens, but they all come hurrying back to try them again.
Currently, there are 5 courses in Michigan (Detroit area only) owned by American Golf Corporation. They have done some good things for these courses, including Hilltop when they first took it over. I was surprised to see how poorly they handled it recently. Not making enough money for them perhaps. Anyway, here are those five:
- Chandler Park Golf Course
- Palmer Park Golf Course
- Rackham Golf Course (a Donald Ross)
- Rouge Park Golf Course
- The Woodlands
